Dive bomb à l’intérieur le seul move dans son arsenal 🙈

« Ce sont les meilleures courses que j’ai eues en F1. Les voitures sont plus faciles à suivre, beaucoup plus faciles à dépasser que les années précédentes. On peut se rapprocher très près, il n’y a pas assez de turbulence pour faire perdre trop d’appui. » 🤩 Lewis est fan du comportement de ces nouvelles voitures en course. #F1











🟥Ferrari had no chance in the #ChineseGP: 🟦Mercedes were the 'Kings of Wear', as their laptimes NEVER trended upwards! 1st stint (🟡Mediums): Mercedes held a constant pace, while Ferrari showed degradation 2nd (⚪️Hards): Mercedes first ran steadily, then started pushing, improving by ~1 s/lap (despite increasingly worn tyres!). They gained up to 0.9 s/lap on Ferrari and later ran sub-1:36 laps Ferrari's wear hurt by: -In-team battles -Pushing harder in corners to offset the power deficit -Possibly running less downforce due to lower PU output -Possibly, Car traits/setup that stress the tyres more Cars now start with ~70 kg of fuel (vs ~100 kg before). Empty vs full tank is worth ~2s, not ~3s, yet Mercedes still improved their pace through the stint In the end, it didn't matter: Mercedes were unreachable. This feels like 2015 again: Mercedes fastest, Ferrari clearly 2nd, and no other real #F1 title contender








🗣️ Max Verstappen: “It’s a joke. If someone thinks this is fun, then you don’t know what racing is all about.” #F1
