According F1 Latest : "From ZERO to HERO"

DRIVER OF THE DAY: From zero to hero – Verstappen secures fan vote after charge to second

What a comeback! He crashed on his way to the grid, but after some swift repair work from his Red Bull crew there was no stopping Max Verstappen. From seventh at the start to second at the flag, splitting the two Mercedes. No wonder he got your nod…

How the votes were cast :

Max Verstappen - 18.1%
Lewis Hamilton - 14.9%
Sebastian Vettel - 12.8%
Valtteri Bottas - 8.2%
Lance Stroll - 8.1%__

Easier said than done. Ferrari had the strongest PU last year before the investigation, 6 poles and they couldn't convert them into race wins.

Lec got 6 poles and Vettel got 2.
Only 3 of those were converted into race wins.

Just saying it's not always 95% the car that wins races, it's a team sport, everything/everyone has to work together.

Ferrari had a faster car most of 2019, but strategy/bad calls/team failures/etc didn't result in as many race wins as possible.

Ham is in a different league. Racing Point has the pace in the car but they don't have tire management skills that Ham has. Hamilton put the stretch on earlllyyyyyyy on the intermediate tires. That ain't the car.

They called Bottas in for new tires , but 2 laps too late .

According the calculations Bottas was running 1 sec/lap faster than MAX .
So the danger from the Viking was coming from behind for MAX .
But the Viking stranded too short in the last 2 laps , but it was very close !
On the other hand ,knowing MAX I was 100% sure he would close the door ..Anyway .

Like I said : After his car was fixed , that changed the balance as well ..
They should look at it . ASAP !
Glad that MAX rage could be transferred in outstanding racing skills

Of course meanwhile the Mercs PU remains untouchable !

For sure, the viking will always be screwed by Merc so long as Lewis is there.

Struggled over the whole weekend by the balance of car , the mechanics didn't slept over the whole weekend , worked during the nights to improve the RB16 !
After RB replaced the whole front and the front wing , suddenly the car felt a lot better during the race..
Seems like RB finally fixed the lag of that anti-stall bug during the start procedure that's why he did it outstanding from P7 to P3 in a heartbeat !
Bottas was coming very close with the Mercs overwhelming PU !
Congrats for Lewis !


The result was P2 on the podium and driver of the day !
Here is more regarding the crash => https://www.formula1.com/en/video/20..._the_race.html

My friend! The small crash sorted MAX's car out...it's what it needed!!! Look at it after.

Why do you hate Leclerc so much? It's really odd you seem to be kind of obsessed with him.
