@12Shakur Of course Kimi outqualified GR, he was starting from the back anyway, the setup changes acordingly
"In austin kimi just outperformed everyone" yeah but when it's with max it's always the "he can only go as fast as his car allows him"
@12Shakur Monza, Madrid, Baku, Austin and Mexico are pretty clear for Mercedes
Malaysia qualy Red Bull was the fastest, in race pace it's arguable given what Hadjar was doing
Singapore Kimi's car with the upgrades was shit, Russell's car was pretty competitive
Analysis of FP2 Long Runs
Putting everything together, the pecking order looks something like this
1. Verstappen
2. Leclerc +0.149s
3. Russell +0.416s
4. Antonelli +0.464s
5. Norris +0.520s
6. Piastri +0.751s
7. Hamilton +0.936s
8. Hadjar +1.087s
Verstappen looks REALLY GOOD
@RayRedd49130477 Taking this year of Perez vs Bottas as the main reference, this would put Max above 1s faster than Hamilton
Of course that's not the gap and there is some level of Bottas being even more shit than he once was, but it's fascinating how there's still a debate...

@milanwyddd@WillTracksF1 And regarding Lawson, Miyata was in his 4th season in Super Formula while Lawson was debuting there and doing F1 in the middle of it...
And Lawson is 3 years younger
Come on dawg
@milanwyddd@WillTracksF1 Sorry Ritomo Miyata, I was not familiar with your game
Come on man, of course most of them are all incredible drivers, for some reason they made it to the top categories, but there are levels...
And yes I know all the Toyota-Honda rivalry and why that blocks some drivers but...
@WillTracksF1 Yeah, but a 26y old that is 19th in a F2 full of 18 and 19y old kids... this guy getting a F1 seat would be simply ridiculous
I mean, he has 26 points in F2 while his teammate whose name nobody knows has 70
@formularacers_@NextgenAuto Wait to see if Lawson is available, if not just keep Bottas and let Perez trash him for another year
It's that simple Cadillac
