For a full year now, it’s been staring me right in the face: those Red Bull guys are absolutely obsessed with taking down Ferrari. I haven't the slightest clue why they're so worked up about it...🤔

You could really tell the difference back when Daniil Kvyat was behind the wheel—certainly more so than with this absolute maniac driving now.
And just like that—it’s clear that Alonso is especially fired up when it comes to Hamilton, though honestly, there aren't really any mysteries left to solve there. 🤣

Two idiots, really. One is trying desperately to block a car that's a second and a half faster, while this other guy in the quicker machine is trying to force his way past a lunatic who's clearly lost it for the reasons mentioned above.
At least we got a little trip back to 2007. Old friends always remain old friends.🤣

Lowered?
"The value of victory is to be found in greatness of The opponent"
The sign they display when leaving Maranello.
There isn't a single thing the media won't twist into a story.

Interesting. So even back in 2015, Mercedes had an engine mode that could shave a full second off a lap time. They only let their customer teams touch that kind of power once, and that was pretty much it...

So? What’s the big deal here?

But this specific stat under number 5 is actually pretty wild 🤣
Seriously, damn Pirelli. I can't believe nobody has managed to pull off a single lap on the hard compound in any race 🤦
It’d honestly be fascinating to dig up the data on total laps driven per tire component. I highly doubt even the Medium has a decent number behind it...
Also, I think I read somewhere that the total number of grid penalties due to engine issues this season is around 800, and McLaren-Honda accounts for about 400 of those 🤦

The British media is busy blathering about how Kimi is lagging behind Vettel, acting like it’s some massive crisis for Ferrari and their shot at the constructors' title...
Meanwhile, they’re staying dead silent about the fact that Bottas is easily the worst driver left on the grid when you look at his qualifying gap to his teammate—which is usually the clearest sign of who actually has the pace.

Based on this logic, it implies Stroll is somehow twice the driver of Massa. Absolute nonsense. What a joke of an analysis.

I wonder if the folks over at Williams saw this ridiculous analysis too, because clearly they used it as an excuse to tell Massa to step on it. 🤔

Williams is honestly just plain stupid. But then again, what do I know? Out of all the drivers playing for Williams, Felipe Massa is actually better. It makes absolutely no sense. Massa managed to qualify the Williams in the top 10 again, while Lance Stroll can only dream of doing that in Abu Dhabi.
#377 ·
The analysis would actually be spot on (if I’m even getting this right) if we were just counting the exact same laps for both drivers during the same race.
Like, say lap 25 of Race Z, where driver one hits x.xx.xxx and driver two hits y.y.yyy.
That’s how you look at the real gaps.

Seriously, have you guys still not caught onto this? 🤦🤣
Those top-tier British experts over at Sky—who are always such geniuses, by the way—swapped Stroll and Massa's positions. It’s actually Stroll who is on average 0.594s slower than Massa, not the other way around. 😁
Dammit, that should have been obvious at first glance. 😉

Fun fact 🤣
The RB13 had 13 DNFs during the season
The RB13 racked up 13 podiums during the season
The RB13 also grabbed 13 finishes in 4th, 5th, or 6th place
Everything revolves around the number 13 😁
