Because they are, as long as there’s no second car around to cover Bottas.

Technically, it’s 100%.

I’m honestly not sure. He’s mentally tough, so I don’t think he’ll roll over like Gasly or Albon, but if the gap to Ferrari and McLaren stays as it is right now, he’ll struggle to outqualify them at certain tracks. RBR needs him to be on the second row at every race.

Does wiki also say his teammate was one of the worst F1 drivers of the decade?

They’re criticizing Checo not because he isn’t on Max’ pace, but because he’s not able to get himself in a position where he could help Verstappen. That’s his job, and everyone (including Perez) knows it.

You’re not wrong, but at least they’re quicker than a Porsche Supercup car.

Reminds me of the story of Ricardo Rosset’s mechanics reversing the first and last letter of his last name on his team-liveried scooter that he drove around the paddock.

The irony, of course, is that Mick also spun in Bahrain, crashed behind the safety car in Imola, and just this past weekend crashed into his mechanics during a botched pitstop. But let’s ignore all that.

Danica never raced in Europe past Formula Ford. She was better on ovals anyway.

Jak Crawford has just turned 16 like a week ago, and is competing at the highest level of F3 this season. He’s the youngest driver in the series by more than a year, and he’s clearly the most interesting US talent right now. He just had his first race weekend at Barcelona and did allright for such a young guy. Maybe a…

And Fittipaldi hasn’t had any preferential treatment troughout his career because of his family, no sir.

I think the fairly obvious reason is that there’s not a major road racing culture in the US. Therefore, the level of competition for kids is very poor when compared to Europe. I’m sure there’s plenty of talent, but talent needs to be developed. That’s why it’s important for the most talented kids to get to Europe at…

Bad news: he drives with a Colombian license.

“No current American IndyCar driver has expressed a desire to move to F1”

It was a checkmate move to pit Lewis when they did. Because Verstappen, as usual, had no teammate to help him out, there was no good move for them to make in response.

First sector is always like that in Barcelona. It’s very short and margins are tight. The difference is made in S2 and S3.

True, hadn’t caught that but that’s wrong. It’s the ones you set your fastest lap on. Also, drivers who don’t make it to Q3 have free choice of compound for the race.

To be fair, Sato made a full 360 spin on that qualy lap. It’s somewhat of a lengendary Youtube clip.

Hadn’t watched a full Formula E race in quite some time, but I had an absolute blast watching this. I remembered it being bad, but my goodness: it’s so bad, it’s good. What an absolute shitshow. It has nothing to do with racing but it’s so unintenionally funny that I’m fairly certain I’ll be watching a lot more of…

No, he has to start on the actual tyre set he did his best Q2 time with. But it was by design, he only did a slow outlap on those tyres at the end of Q1 to scrub them for Q2.
