Again , that's the advantage by Mercs technical advanced knowledge .
Of course the other teams like RB can't keep it up , that's why the W11 is the fastest car of the decade ..

Talking of talent : Mate there's nothing stopping you to be the president of the United States or Canada ..
Same for RB , to close the gap and to get Mercs pace...

RB can’t keep up because they don’t have the talent (technical talent and/or driving talent) to develop a package to challenge the Merc.

Actually there is a lot stopping me from becoming president of Canada, first we don’t have one, we have a Prime Minister, and second I’d have to take a massive pay cut.

As you know , "Lance Armstrong" won the Tour the France 7 times as well..
His performance and pace were really remarkable ! Actually unseen !
But..."HOW" he managed to do it ?

The "HOW" was even more remarkable .....

Not so subtle flex.

“ In Canada, the Prime Minister serves as the head of government. With an annual salary of CAD$347,400, the position of the Prime Minister is both luxurious and powerful.”

Yeah the halo is ugly as hell, but I think it prevented a horrific head injury here.

Whats more of a miracle is that if the tub had stuck in just far enough to block the top, he would not have been able to extricate himself, leaving him inside the inferno until somehow the tub would have been pulled out, SERIOUSLY lucky that the tub ended up where it did.

Poor Verstappen the great rainmeister having to struggle in such a slow car.

To be fair, when he does have a several seconds a lap car advantage over the rest of the field as at Istanbul and its a wet track he really shows his true abilities!

Pleased to see Romain is fine...comes across as a super nice bloke...I don't think he ever really got to realise his full potential, but thats motor racing.
According to Autosport...Pietro Fittipaldi will make his Formula 1 debut this weekend at the Sakhir Grand Prix in place of Romain.

I gather that's Emmerson's son, good for him.
Hardly surprising with what Roman went through, I hear he's out of hospital tomorrow..on Radio Jackie they were mentioning him talking about the incident, apparently he's an avid listener of that radio station.

Of course mate !
Merc has respect from my side ..That's why I'm saying the W11 is a killer machine and is the fastest car of the decade .
How the W11 is a killer machine ?
By the advantages the other teams don't have ..

I don’t want to sound sentimental but respect is due to all F1 drivers for their bravery. They put their lives on the line for our entertainment. Their bravery really showed after they all saw what Romain went through and still got in their cars and went full beans to finish the race. Romain could’ve joined the list of decapitated drivers like Koinigg and Birstow and we still sit on our couches and moan about the ugly halo. Leclerc is still a cunt though 🤣

I doubt Sainz will get any less of the 'kick in the teeth' treatment Lec is dishing out with a smile to Seb.Had to get out the way quick as Lec was barging through.. Seb said on radio 'ok, the car is undriveable'.

The fuel tank is completely gone and melted, all the fuel is burned in the flames or it was the cause of the huge explosion ..
That's why the fire extinguishers "initially" made the fire and flames even "WORSE"
By the compressed air in the fire extinguishers , they sprayed more air into the fire !
Why was that ?
*They sprayed too far away from the flames* because they were afraid of the fire .
This was a "HUGE MISTAKE" ! They could have "KILLED" Romain !
But understandable at that moment in front of hell's fire .


2- The telemetry showed the impact was 50+ G !
Romain's speed was 221 km/h during the puncturing of the barrier.
The HALO and cockpit (monocoque survival cell) "SEEM" to be intact .
But both are cracked ..

So Romain survived the 1.) 50G crash, 2.) the main (full up with fuel) tank explosion two or three inches behind him and 3.) the fall out of the remaining burning fuel hoisting himself up and out with any remaining strength he could muster.

What he meant is that the gases in the fire extinguishers pushed the air around the fire into the fire itself because they were sprayed from a distance. If you watch it and notice the fire marshal who was on the service road spraying towards the track side he was at least 30 feet away and the contents of the extinguisher didn’t reach the fire and only pushed more air into it.
