Victories Verstappen and Hamilton in Mexico compared: Who is really the favourite?

You wrote that Mercedes' straight line speed is higher in one of your stupid posts!!!.....So what sh*t are you talking???

Really I did that, prove it mate ?

Thats because he has finally realised he cant keep denying the obvious.
His conscience must have gotten to him.

What data do you have to prove other wise mate?

Red Bull, the technicians led by Adrian Newey have definitely invested in the philosophy that provides that the angle that the diffuser creates with the asphalt is more pronounced. This peculiarity adds up to a much shorter wheelbase than the Anglo-German rival. Factors that enhance some specific characteristics: handling and mechanical traction. Elements that have made the car easier to adapt to the various types of track encountered so far.

The most tangible advantage that the Red Bull has over the Mercedes lies in the ability of the former to generate a large vertical thrust with the bottom of the car. The downforce produced with the wings naturally plays a role in the overall economy of the car, but it is by no means efficient. The one generated with the bottom and with the diffuser “costs” less in points of resistance to advancement. This explains why Milton Keynes’s car, with the same generated load, can adopt a decidedly more discharged rear configuration than the W12.
Factor, of course, that helps not a little to raise top speeds in straight sections. A difference, even strictly visual, which was very evident at Spa Francorchamps, when the RB16B seemed to have a wing almost parallel to the ground.

Red Bull did not remain at the version seen during the pre-season tests. Adrian Newey is a technician who has made reading skills during construction one of the main professional virtues. Here the RB16B has been updated with various micro-aerodynamic innovations that have made it possible to adapt it to the different layouts of the tracks and to maintain a small, but constant, technical advantage over theMercedes. A non-stop work that has invested the flow deflectors and the stepped bottomand the diffuser which has been entrusted with the task of increasingly energizing the outgoing flow.

The majority of Red Bull's performance advantage came in high-speed corners, although the RB16B held an advantage over the Mercedes in pretty much every corner type.

Verstappen is also helped by his Honda power unit's ability to deploy more electrical energy at a couple of key points around the lap where the Mercedes hybrid system momentarily ran out of juice.

"We don't really have any strengths relative to them, is what I would say," Mercedes chief trackside engineer Andrew Shovlin said

"There have been a lot of years where we have been able to rely on straight-line speed or high-speed cornering or interconnected corners, but you look at it and we are taking any time out of them anywhere.

"That's really the main thing. In qualifying they were just bang on the pace and in their best form they are just quicker than the others, so we need a faster car, simple as that."

A car that is 0.4s per lap faster over a single lap will quickly become a blunt instrument if it is losing 0.1s of performance per lap compared to its rivals through tyre degradation.

However, changes to the aerodynamic regulations over the winter appear to have impacted Mercedes' performance more than Red Bull's, resulting in the thrilling prospect of a two-team battle for the championship.
While that is desirable outcome for Formula One, it wasn't the reason why the rules were tweaked.
The changes, which include a triangular section of the floor being cut out before the rear tyres, a reduction in the length of certain diffuser strakes and a limitation on the size or aerodynamic appendages on the rear brake ducts, were introduced to give Pirelli's tyres an easier time

The decision came after three tyre failures at the British Grand Prix that were traced back to the sheer force being exerted on the construction of the tyre through high-speed corners.
The FIA became concerned that the continuous push for more downforce over the winter would result in more tyre failures in 2021 and a potential safety issue.
The governing body can make unilateral changes to the regulations from year to year for safety reasons, and it took swift action to introduce the downforce cuts for 2021.
But making changes to such a sensitive area of the car always had the potential to impact some teams more than others.

Mercedes and Aston Martin have been hit hardest as both teams were two seconds off the pace of their qualifying times at last year's Bahrain Grand Prix compared to the 1.4s average across the other eight teams.
It could be the case that Mercedes and Aston Martin simply failed to adapt to the new rules as effectively as their rivals, but there is a connection in their car design that hints that Mercedes was always going to be harder than Red Bull.
Both Mercedes and Aston Martin (which essentially copied Mercedes' design last year) run a relatively low rear ride height compared to the rest of the grid.

How many times are you gonna copy and paste this? Mercedes has been hit harder than Red Bull, which means RB also has been hit. This analisys proves nothing. This is pure theory. The better car can be seen in data and statistics, and that's where Mercedes proves they still have the better car. Of course, it's not the same as in previous years, it's around 0.16s overall so far, but that's good enough for Max

She thinks bookies make their books after analysing who has the faster car. They don't. They make their cards in a way that no matter what, the house doesn't lose. More people are betting on Max to win, that's why the bookies place him as favorite. It's simple math and statistics. Bookies don't give a **** about who is the better driver or who has the better car

Spot on...we dont need to believe what bookies say...data doesnt lie and its open in SKY F1....0.16s was advantage Merc over red bull in Austin....in Turkey it was 0.6 of a second over red bull........

As I keep saying, at least have the decency to state the source instead of wanting all to assume its your contribution.

Yip you're right, so now that you have the article ,and not my word for it, what are your thoughts ?

Not Redbull mate

The changes hurt all the teams genius. It hurt the low rake teams more than the high rake teams, that's true, but if the changes are so drastic and made that big of an impact, why is Ferrari not the fastest car? They're high rake aswell.

Data and statistics confirm that Mercedes is the faster car overall this season, by an average of 0.16s. I know it's hard for you to accept the fact that Max is simply the best driver on the grid right now.

It's ok to cry, but it's not ok to copy paste the same article on every post here, and on top of that to try to make people assume it was you who wrote all that.

Did you read the article? I have been saying that the Redbull car is dominant and been going on about the mechanical grip. And the reg
changes that benefited Redbull. Mate you've been commenting on those posts.

Why do you talk like you're the one who came up with it and the article confirmed it? You just copy-paste. Nothing you said is confirmed, because it was not you that said it

Confirmed in an article you copied and pasted.
Nothing said by you.
You're a joke.

Did you even read the article mate ? Cause everything I say is confirmed ?
