Book

I saw that this book was recently released. If someone already bought, a review would be good. I am planning on adding this to next year reading.
Author is an Engineer for Haas F1 team.

What would he know about a winning method?

Jk. I'll add it to my list too. My favorite is How to build a car by Adrian Newey.

At least his car is safe, can cut a guard rail, be torn apart, catch on fire and still keep the driver safe. j/k
Added from Newey also on my list, thanks.

As much as I support Mercedes and Lewis, this year is Red Bull's time to win. Class driving on turn 1 from Max. You could hear it in Lewi's voice at the end of the race, he knows it's pretty much over for this season and the only thing Mercedes can aspire to achieve is the constructors tittle. Even then, with Botta's luck, RB will probably take both championships this year. Off to Interlagos, where RB has won before.

Bottas has by far the worst luck out of all of them.

Absolutely, not to say Mercedes pit crew is horrendous when it comes to Bottas. Let's say that Bottas and Lewis were able to go into Turn 1 without issue, the pace the RB had was unreachable and Max would've still won. So at least Mercedes could've extended their Constructor's point lead.

Bottas blew that race for Mercedes. He moved right, off the racing line to try and block off Lewis when he should have stayed left to have the racing line into turn 1.
He handed an easy pass to Verstappen.
Red Bull was faster than Mercedes, but if Bottas would have done his job we could have seen Verstappen fighting both Mercedes in the first 10 laps.

Definitely wasn't guaranteed that Red Bull would win... Look at the great pace Perez had at the end with the fresher tires and still couldn't get close enough to even attempt a move. If Merc hadn't botched the start there was no way Max could pass both of them.

Lol, I think the only on track passing I can recall after the first few laps was everyone passing Russell...

Lol there was a restart and Max left the rest of the pack. Won the race by like 16 seconds. Barring some type of accident or mechanical issue, Max had that race. Even if T1 didn’t happen, Max would’ve inevitably passed both Mercs during the race. The difference in pace was huge.

Perez was catching up then had to recharge. Then tried again and made his attempts in the final lap but ran out of time. If there was another lap or two left, Checo could’ve definitely made another attempt at an overtake.

In other news, I’ll be very curious to see if Hamilton/Merc get another penalty or receive any sort of reprimand for their rear wing in Brazil which isn’t legal. They’ve had to remove it, but it sounds like other actions may potentially come. Also sounds like Max will get a talking to for allegedly touching their car/wing after Q3.

Why the hell would Max even be touching the Mercedes?

Drama Weekend!

When you were younger and your parents told you not to do stuff and you just had to do it anyway,
Well Max just proved he’s not quite grown up and curiosity got the best of him and has to do what he has to do…

How he was let in to the Parc Fermé is another question.

Wonder if the Wing/DRS thing will affect Bottas as well.

No clue, but probably recognized the size of the wing was a bit suspicious and maybe just ran his fingers across it.

Sounds like he wants to take inspector Sebs place
