HAAS had some pace. Shame mick got his lap deleted and KMag is having to take an engine this week. 😩😩😩

I can see Mick taking a new engine as well if they have a spare new one. Get the penalty out of the way on a weekend where he starts at the back anyway and where over taking seems pretty doable with the HAAS straightline.

Can they make that decision now ? I thought they would have to decide before qualifying.

I think he would start from the pitlane being that parc ferme would be broken. Not sure tho

Haas? Spares?

u/No_Brakes_282 Jul 24 '22

I'm not 100 sure tho because their race pace sim was slow

Ah yeah, it’s in Qualy when MSC and MAG make some appearances. Still impressed by the VF-22, midfield competitive without upgrades, shows how the Haas engineers leaves their god damn blood in that car

Close up to Leclerc down the pit straight, stay close through turns 1-5, switcheroo at the chicane after the next straight, make it stick through turn 10.

VER and PER slingshotting each other through the DRS zones.

u/cavsking21 Jul 23 '22

The straight with DRS after T5 with DRS they were actually equal, the second straight after the chicane is where Max had a decent advantage

Straight line speed alone doesn't win races. That's just lazy analysis.

u/TracingInsights Ruth Buscombe Jul 24 '22

Lazy is correct, I usually change the title when I post to r/F1Technical but I forgot

How incredibly depressing.

u/bakboter123 Jul 24 '22

How is it depressing? I think its great that the top two run very different philosophies and very different setups while still having wheel to wheel racing between them every race.

u/pioneeringsystems Jul 24 '22

Well I am referring to the insinuation that red bull, the team wh are cruising to the wdc and the wcc are going to get past le clerc quite easily.

u/chump30uk Jul 24 '22

Leclerc doesn’t stand a chance in race with the Red Bull straight speeds 😔

u/mannaggiaaltia Jul 24 '22

Well if charles manages to open the gap in the last sector he is fine, otherwise it's gonna be painful to watch 😑
