The ultra 7 is actually a good all rounder. Decent performance (well balanced between gaming and production workloads), good efficiency and good pricing with respect to the AMD options. AMD is of course better for pure productivity (9950x), pure gaming (7800x3d and the upcoming 9800x3d) and is better at the low end (7600, 7600x)
The result wouldn’t have changed much even with all the guilty parties rightfully recieving a 5 sec penalty. Russell would still be 3rd 4th, Norris would still be 6th, Yuki would still be 7th, piastri would still be 8th and ollie would still be 12th. The only beneficiary would be perez who would move upto 9th after the penalties for lawson and lewis who would drop to 10th and 11th respectively.
Sporting advantage is not the only criteria involved when dishing out penalties as we saw with Bearman’s penalty today. He was the one who spun because of the contact and yet he was the one who was punished because the contact was his fault
A complete joke that McLaren, Merc, VCARB and Haas get off almost scott free for breaking the rules. It makes no sense to me that Hamilton got two 5 second penalties in Sochi 2020 for doing a practice start from the wrong spot in the pitlane but shit like this goes unpunished. At least the top 3 should have gotten time penalties because they are the ones who instigated it.
No. McLaren never told Norris to stay. It seemed like he went as soon as he heard and saw aborted start and the next thing Will tells him is recharge on. The teams who got it right specifically told their drivers to stay put and switch off the car.
Oscar is so mature. Admitted that he messed up with Lawson and did not blame luck or anything. He will be a future champion if he keeps improving
+Lando wanted to come in even earlier
Exactly. He was asking to be pit even before the VSC and is now bitching that the team pit him
Lando bitching about his luck so much when he had half the race to make progress. Instead he just went backwards.
If this happens I will be fucking laughing
If heaven exists, senna must be smiling - he saw one of the GOATs drive his car in tribute and then saw his spiritual successor drive the race of his lifetime at his hometown track
So what is going to happen about the mass start infringement¿?
Interlagos is love. Interlagos is life
Well the mechanics, designers, engineers and factory personnel will be rewarded with the constructors championship. The pitwall and the drivers will rightly not be rewarded with a drivers championship.
This will be the happiest podium in a long time
Red bull and Alpine also made their own luck by not pitting and taking a calculated risk. And Norris had made a lot of mistakes which had nothing to do with luck.
Absolute masterclass from max and red bull. Hamilton 2021 esque.
Clearly proving that he is the best driver of the season even though he no longer has the fastest car
Damn a red flag guarantee. Damn that was big brain by Alpine and Red Bull
Red bull strategy masterclass. Same by alpine
Edit : why didn’t they pit
The VSC was luck. Pitting neither under the VSC nor under the safety car was a strategic call. Red bull and Alpine both made an educated guess based on the amount rain that there is a high possibility for a red flag. It was lucky but there was plenty of strategy involved. Also all three of them drove brilliantly to put themselves in a position to capitalise. Remember Colapinto binned it on fresh inters while max, ocon and gasly kept it on the track on won’t inters. Saying it was 100% luck is doing a disservice to all 3 of them and their teams
