Don't forget the last time you posted a link about redbull's wing upgrades to match mercedes in terms of flexibility, that link was total nonsense and was based on pure opinionated speculation - there was zero truth, leaks, or anything. So everytime I cannot find something easily on google I give you a chance to respond with fact, otherwise it is just made up again.

The last few races BOT had a few chances to take out VER and didn’t even impede him. You are right, you never know when the pressure/stakes are this high though.

After T1 the rest of the field is already out of sight ... Checo stated in the last 2 races : My mission is to support the Red Bull Strategy . But we don't see him...Not even close ! Red Bull and MAX need a miracle , because HAM's Rocket PU pulls everyone out of reach. MAX had bad luck in Azerbeidzjan , Silverstone and the Hungaroring . Otherwise had MAX now 12 victories and the lead of 75 points in the WDC . And HAM's season was already 'over in Mexico. So...It is what it is . And we'll see .

It appears so but how well do we really know these drivers? Netflix, interviews and information gleaned from watching GPs doesn't tell the whole story.

1st and 2nd picture with the simple search string: And to clarify his damage: He pretty much lost half his front floor (the complete barge board area is gone, and there is some damage at the rear part too), that's probably about 6-7ft² of carbon missing... That will have a huge impact on how the car behaves. It was probably also pulling to one side like crazy. ....apparently the members that liked your post are just as hopeless with a google search.....

Possibly, but you had this legendary champ!
I've included some rare pics from Mario's stand-in at the Scuderia back in '82. That was (at 42 years old) probably the best cameo in F1 history.

Not that I think HAM even needs the help. I predict a sweet victory for the Mercs and HAM on Sunday.

Below is the quote he was responding to, not Hungry... Where is the proof of this below statement? Beside that's a picture of a barge board not a diffuser. "40% of MAX's diffuser was gone ...the turbulence took the cars stability completely away . HAM's "Flexible Mercedes front wing was just too strong !

Brave drivers may try to overtake at T12 if they're close enough. The hotel section would be more or less similar to before, even though it flow faster. Overall, the modifications looks promising.

Sorry, I thought it was a reference to using BOT to take out VER in reaction on PER taking out HAM in Abu dhabi.
That's why I couldn't believe someone had missed the damage. The pointing back and forth goes so fast in these topics that you sometimes loose track, just as the driver de However in Jeddah there seems to be more carbon debris at the crash than that was missing from HAM's front wing, so that must have come from Max' car. HAM looses about half of his front wing end plate. (the other half keeps flapping about and he looses that a few laps later) Maybe this is where he was referring to? Debris on track: damage on HAM's front wing: Despite the crash that is quite minimal damage. That wing must be really tough. I wouldn't be surprised if MERC developed their own tough version of carbon. Maybe with something like an aramid fibre woven into it to make it less prone to completely crack/break.

Some of the debris was also from the underside of the wing as two of the under wing strakes were broken off. Hard to say what happened to Max's car with out some rear end photos. I can't find anything stating 40% damage, at this point its a guess without some proof.

Maybe a potential gamechanger:
Abu Dabi apparently has the same sharp kerbs as Qatar: https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/10086...-are-back.html So Pirelli declared after the race in Qatar that the many tyre blowouts were caused by the sharp kerbs on the losail circuit. So the urge for fast laptimes might be part of a gamble: do I take the kerb or not? Might give an interesting spin on the championchip
