///M Power-Belgium wroteSeems that LAN's car has a temporary secret 'magic mode' to get that gap to MAX.Well , that's what McLaren has shown in the last 4-5 races .
They are super fast in FP , QF and race ...
But as we know : The McLaren pit and race strategy can really s@ck...
Today Lando was 0.35 sec. faster than MAX .
And that's sea of time on a short track like Zandvoort .
BTW : Today I expected to see more from the Benz boys ...

That car has a very special balance to save the tires ...
It won't be easy for MAX to win Zandvoort for the 4th time in a row , hopefully Hannah Schmitz can pull the trigger in the RB strategy.

Especially since the FIA banned strawberries 🍓

Race in 12 hours!
Big question for tomorrow - can Lando avoid wasting another pole position with a lousy start again? P2 to 4 licking their lips right now….
RichardInCA wroteI think Lando is just mediocre. Max is absolutely a better driver and this is his race to win if he keeps his head on straight.Big question for tomorrow - can Lando avoid wasting another pole position with a lousy start again? P2 to 4 licking their lips right now….
But if he gets a hot head and frustrated, I see him taking himself and Lando out. Lando just needs to not be garbage, which is hard for him to.do
Lando is a great driver (on a single lap) but not sure he’s a great racer yet. Oscar seems to be kinda the inverse, seems to have better nerve in the races. It’ll be an interesting first lap for sure.
Anyone care to explain what exactly happened to RB's pace? How do they fall off that much within half a season?
AmuroRay wroteMediocre like Maldonado ? Because he too is a GP winner.I think Lando is just mediocre.
a5m wroteRed Bull pace is fine. It’s that other teams have cracked the formula. No more porpoising, funny sidepods, etc. Now the field is more level.Anyone care to explain what exactly happened to RB's pace? How do they fall off that much within half a season?

Wow, that was a heck of a lap from Lando!
Marcoose wroteAll these guys are professionals and in the right circumstances (cars) can win. Landonhas had the car for a while now and has struggled to put it together. He's simply not WDC material.Mediocre like Maldonado ? Because he too is a GP winner.
