IceCreamMan Posted December 11, 2020 Share So Russell back to being 2.5 second slower.... one week you a potential winner next not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiyaaz Posted December 11, 2020 Share Even Perez said it is his press conference, that these days wins and championships are too dependent on the car you drive. Similar to what Sainz said in a presser last week. At different periods, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes have had the best car in the field during the last 2 decades and therefore the WCC and WDC. Renault obviously had their stint as well with Alonso as their #1. It shouldn't come as much surprise that Russell, being pretty talented, was able to do a decent job in that Merc. It must suck for him,to have to go back into his usual Saturday scrap to make it into Q2 though! ???? Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted December 11, 2020 Share very interesting indeed Not surprised that Fangio took top honors I was under the impression that it was around 50% "We didn't look at the data before 1979, for various reasons, but mainly that it becomes harder to define teams the further you go back. The driver effect has declined over time since at least 1980, going from about 30 percent driver in the early 1980s to about 10 percent driver today."

MORNE Posted December 12, 2020 Share https://fb.watch/2jB67HvLZ1/I cried a little when i saw that on the live feed. F1 is so **** these days. Those cars do t even look 15y old. 500kg before fuel and driver. And the sound..... Ps, it happened at mugello with Mick and the f2004 too, but did you guys see how half the pitcrews and guys like Russel et al were on the pitwall taking videos of it going past? Thats how you know...

MORNE Posted December 12, 2020 Share Alonso did a 1:42.6 in that v10 r25...a car not designed to run those MEDIUM compound Pirelli tires, a car not set up for this track (evident from it running out of gears on the straight)...and a car 15 years old so obviously not running at its absolute zenith of performance. Thats only 5-6 seconds slower than a 2020 mercedes, the fastest f1 car in history... on soft compound tires in fp2. Im pretty sure a f2004, given a day for setup work, a new v10 engine and soft tires will come within 3 seconds of it. And then there is the sound.How many teams have we lost in the name of progress? And how far have we come? Sure the new cars are tech marvels but what did that ad to the show? Nothing. Id rather watch this v10 running on its own around abi slaapie the whole weekend than watch the race on sunday haha. Food for thought....
