    @Catogrande said in Formula 1:

    Verstappen is clearly the better driver but him and Perez on different tyre strategies was the big differential yesterday. It was also noted by the Sky comms team the difference in the info given between the two which Horner just waved away. I can see a falling out in the driver relationship coming. Perez has every right to feel mightily pissed off.

    It's not like they deliberately gave Verstappen the better strategy though. Most of the other top teams did the same as Perez and started on the mediums.. then mediums didn't do as well as expected on the new surface

    Worth noting that the other guys on hard tyres weren't able to stay out as long as Max

    Perez got very lucky in the previous race when Red Bull screwed up Verstappen's pit stop timing

    @Duluth

    Agree that the strategy thing was not a deliberate favouring, I’m thinking more that with Verstappen starting 9th it was something of a roll of the dice. However, the difference in feedback given to the two drivers was pretty blatant.

    @antipodean For sure, but not giving him the full gen alongside his teammate has to irk.

          Life is rather good.

            Amazing weekend in Monaco.

            Incredible event in an incredible setting.

            Race was dull til the rain, then it all kicked off. We were opposite the pit lane and the drivers were having trouble controlling the rears coming out of the corner. Great watching.

              Sounds like Saturday nights in a light industrial area in Upper Hutt (except for the 'incredible setting' part)

                  Dixon accidentally causes a collision with Power. Classic as Dixon just keeps walking up to him to apologise and Power keeps squaring up to hit him, Dixon never flinches once and keeps approaching him to talk while they get pushed apart. Classic.

                        Well of course he does.

                        The reality is that for more than 40 years there have been periods of team dominance, it’s just the last 20 odd that those periods have become longer.

                          Not Formula 1 but Shane van Gisbergen about to win NASCAR race in Chicago to enhance his impressive driving record. Led by about 2 seconds with just two laps to go but the caution lights came on so think they might have a three or four lap sprint to the chequered flag once the track is cleared. He has the freshest tyres of all the cars around him so things looking good.

                            The win is achieved so he has an impressive 100% record of wins in this highly competitive class of racing. Can't be many drivers out there to have never lost a single NASCAR race they have taken part in! Put him into any race machine and he drive the wheels off it to be up with the leaders no matter what.

                                @canefan One!!!!! But he came in as a complete rookie to the class against many seasoned and ultra competitive drivers and took them down with the barest minimum of preparations.

                                    Pretty good day for McLaren out there today in their home GP.

                                    All in all a good weekend for my teams
