  • Perez closer to Verstappen this season

    From Vasco Costa@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Sat Apr 9 18:28:19 2022
    Only three weekends in, but I belive we're seeing a pattern here. Perez
    seems to have bridged the gap to Verstappen, on pure single lap pace.

    The RB18 has uncharacteristically neutral behaviour this season, as
    opposed to a very pointy front-end in previous years. You can hear Max
    on the radio complaining about it and visually going wide at a few
    apexes. While he's still very fast and seemingly adapting to a new
    style, this has perhaps tilted the scales a bit towards Perez, who's
    more used to neutral and even understeering cars.

    Actually, the commentators said almost precisely the opposite.
