Yep ,

agree , he is faster than Max over the race distance , Max is better on cold tires and being out of control when he has the room. Danny’s race pace is relentless like Alonso..

I'm a RIC fan myself, but I have to disagree. VER is usually faster, like he was today, but his driving style gets him into trouble all too often. VER has retired 7x (!) during 2017 season alone.

In spite of those retirements, RIC was actually faster throughout the race distance than RIC 5x, and RIC finished higher than VER only 2x. Same in Q3. 1:3 for VER.

Chk fastest laps today and get back with me .... :)

Vern is the faster driver , over one lap and on cold tires, he makes his time up on cold tires at start Ric the more complete driver , Vern’s lack of smoothness and precision makes him slower on street courses and in general vs Ric .

His cold tire speed is a big advantage on tracks difficult to pass on , today ric lost too much time behind Hammy and had no chance of staying in touch with Vern.

He will win more races and score more points than Vern again this year, he is still the more complete driver at this stage..

Yeah, right - so it is very much like with Bottas vs HAM. Bottas is atually better, but Mercedes does not let him win.

Just don't tell anyone, will you, lol.

I have told many over the decades , won alot on bets too , if you are willing to wager, I’m game , this WWF1 game is easy to predict ..

before you bet , Disclosure , I’m a race engineer by profession, i know a bit more than your TV tells you ...

You are a funny guy, I must say. One of the most amusing to read. Not only on this topic.

You have just said RIC is 'faster than Max over the race distance', but now, to backup your claims, you want me to check who was actually slower 'over the race distance', but did the fastest lap (when fuel levels dropped, nobody cared anymore and the top guys just wanted to baby their cars home [or had to save fuel like Bottas]).

Makes sense, LOL.
 
I’m fond of you too Adam .. :)


Anyway Danny had the fastest lap, i’m aware of your lack of understanding to this significance ..


As your knowledge base increase what i say will have more significant meaning to you , Like your claim on Porsches disproved by JD Powers as well as others ..

But feel free to put up some cash , i say Danny will finish ahead of Max this year , even if Max decides to take him out again, do we have a wager or are you all talk :)

regards
 
Adam ,

Did you miss them robbing Danny at Monaco and giving that race to Lewis , no wait you actually thought it was a team error ...


:)
 
Exactly. RIC had the fastest lap, but was slower than VER during the race distance. Which is the exact oposite of what you have claimed just a few posts earlier.

With one I can agree - RIC (my fav driver, BTW), may very well finish the season higher than VER. Not because he has more raw speed. But because he is more consistent.

PS. If you take your knowledge of Porsche reliability (engine problems related to specific Porsche engine types) from JD Powers, then ... well, I can only recommend you to talk to people who actually work on those cars for a living instead. Don't race them, as this is something totally different - work on daily driven Porsches, see how they age and learn about their model specific problems.

Again - I'm a Porsche owner myself. I have no reason to discredit one of my fav brands. Just can't stand when I see someone spreading false information.
 
Adam i had already given you my opinion on it all , never said Ric was faster than Max , as to this race Ric had lost out on catching Max because of lewis , his FTD proves he had the pace to stay with Max , he is not going to be faster every race , i was giving you a breakdown on how i see each of their performance differences and how each will react to changes and race disrance pace , which is very important ..

Do we have a bet ...? Less make it a Bottle .. :)

So it was a self inflicted blow on your part Then ..... :)
 
Bet on what ? That RIC will finish higher then VER ? I have already said it is perfectly possible. Please be so kind and read people posts in full, if you want to engage into discussion.
 
You’re telling me. I actually fell asleep on the couch for a few minutes during the middle of the race. Hopefully, the next GP is more entertaining.

A dominant run by Vettel and Ferrari. This race really highlights how difficult it is to pass with the aero of these cars.

I think I heard next year’s specs will seek to reduce the bad air thrown back behind the cars so it’s easier to follow closely, thus (hopefully) resulting in more overtaking. I hope that to be the case. I think they up’d the rev limit a couple thousand RPM’s, too.
