Usually in F1 it's either the best driver in the best car or just the best car winning.

[@henrycollins2478]

I agree, but I think the recovery drive was admirable

[@bl4xxun]

I'm honestly baffled with all this talk of the "second fastest car"... They're pretty equal, in fact the race simulation showed red bull slightly ahead of mclaren and they were almost evenly matched during qualifying... Perez can't handle the RB20, but neither could Piastri this weekend, that doesn't make the RB20 a slower car than the MCL38... In fact, unlike the RB20, the MCL38 didn't have any upgrades this weekend. Yes, Max is making the difference in the RB20, but so is Lando in the MCL38... We saw today in 4 different races that the grid spot for P1 in Barcelona is badly chosen, happened in F3, F2 and F1A as well, just because the left side is the racing line during the race, it doesn't mean its the optimal side for the race start, which is shown by the fact that it wasn't hamilton behind Lando that could make the most of the slipstream on that long rununtil Turn 1, but Russel from P4, behind Max... 600 meters into a pretty fast right hander, by starting on the left side, you already have a longer way to get to Turn 2 than P2 on the grid... Lando didn't get DOTD for losing position by Turn 1, he got it by driving an amazing race after that, getting back to P2 even with that weird gamble on trying the uppercut on a track that is known for having a strong undercut potential. Max did one overtake besides getting past lapped cars, Lando did a ton, driving in dirty air and STILL getting back to 2 seconds behind Max, who had clean air for most of the race, except for some backmarkers towards the end. That overtake by Lando on Russel alone should be enough for DOTD

[@aspect359]

​@@paperplane-db8qf It literally is. You have to be able to coast so hard in the first place. Which means you were able to drive that gap in the first place. Which also means he was consistensly faster than norris over the entire race, not just in the last 15 laps while having considerably fresher rubber. Its not a DotD performance to start on P1, bottle the start immediately to land on p3, not getting past P2 for WAY to long and then refusing the undercut SEVERAL TIMES despite being notified about this losing him position (again several times).

[@TheOz91]

Anybody remember a time when Driver of the Day was basically the Max Verstappen Award for Existing?

[@Real28]

My takeaways: Checo hasnt gone off a cliff since signing, hes been falling for over a year. Lando lost the race at the start by not covering off George. Russell getting ahead pushed him too far behind Max, meaning the obvious tire advantage they have was not an issue for Max to deal with. If he covers off George and lets max stay ahead, he stays several seconds closer and probably ends up winning or fighting with 3-4 laps to go. Russell ruined his race and its Landos fault. Going long was the right decision for Mclaren, they have superior tire wear. They can give up time early and gain more back later. Alpine...impreased tbh DotD - why do we even care about the fake award?

Easy. Perez will play the team game to help Max win the title whenever Red Bull requests it. He's proven he'll sacrifice his race time and again to get Max the win when he's asked. The team values that most of all. Carlos doesn't exactly play the team game.

[@toolegittoquit_001]

Saw that 🤔

[@Nando_Lorris_04]

With Perez, I feel it’s largely due to the fact that, as the season progresses, Red Bull’s developments lean more into Max’s unique driving style, which then leads to Perez having less pace in the car, or more mistakes from Perez while he tries to find the missing pace

[@MohamedLamkhizni]

Of course Red bull dont want to win WCC lol

[@RBRMV1]

There’s a disconnect between McLaren aiming for P2 and Norris aiming for the win

[@petiertje]

I don't think Norris should have gotten dotd. His antics at the start made me think he shouldn't have gotten it. Drove a good race, but Max and Lewis were better I think. Certainly since McLaren clearly had the faster car today. exiting times ahead for F1 😀

[@FullTimeGaming360]

I would give George it based on pure entertainment value as without him this could have been a snooze.

Why are you going to exit F1 at the time when we've had the closest racing in the past decade?

How was Hamilton better? Got outpaced by Russell until Russell got shafted with a 5 second stop and awful hard tyres

[@ryanladaga5881]

He finished 17 seconds ahead of HAM in a slightly faster car. Max and Lando were leagues ahead of everyone else. HAM started 3rd, finished 3rd so I don’t see how HAM would deserve it. Only Max

[@FullTimeGaming360]

@@Duval-In-The-Wall I wonder if there was something wrong with the wheel locking system as it happened on the same tyre. I remember during the Stake issues they kept mentioning that it is built into the cars axels so any error or damage would cause issues regardless of the different wheels.

[@zaksacc]

Am I the only one who feels like Max still has the fastest car? Because he still gapped both Lando and George. Twice

[@theglitch312]

George is in a slower car. So it makes sense that he gaps George. Max’s entire gap was the result of him getting P1 and driving in clean air. Norris had to cook his tires behind other cars and try an alternate (less optimal) strategy. We saw that when both were in clean air, Norris was faster. If he kept the lead, he’d have won easily.

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Max literally runs away with the race every time he’s in the lead and we’re meant to believe the Red Bull isn’t the fastest 😂 Perez must pay for his crimes

[@MohamedLamkhizni]

Sure and Lando himself said McLean was the fastest car in spain but of course some delulu people on internet know better lol

[@kushagraN]

Quali - Lando & max matched then 3 tenths to merc & ferrari. Race - lando & max matched then 3 tenths to rest (0.3*60 = 18s) Still a lot better than what bahrain made us believe. In the end only the McLaren miami upgrade has worked for any of the teams the rest are still struggling to match MAX...

[@cid01294]

Talking about Ferrari, I was concerned when Charles asked "why are we on plan A?"

[@mcgoo721]

So we're already saying its the car for Checo. Thats a little earlier than last year you guys had the cop ready to go. I have a lot of respect for him actually. He's found a way to put in the least amount of effort and still maximize his contract. He gives af for 2, 3 races and checks out for the next 18 or so. Then you do just enough so RB isn't worried about their points in the last race or two.

[@carmelasicurezza]

i love how people are getting so worked up over dotd when the drivers gain nothing from it. as a lando fan, yeah i agree maybe today wasnt the day for him to get voted as dotd, but honestly, whether or not he gets it, or any other driver for that matter, it doesnt actually mean anything. its a fan vote, its not like it gives them points or anything

I think it’s like Mercedes said to the rumors that are sabotaging Lewis, why on earth would RB sabotage Checo, they need him to score in order to win the Championship, as does Mercedes with Lewis. It is possible that Max get new parts a race or two earlier, because they don’t have enough, but that’s it.

[@patrickrkruger]

Lando could've won in Sochi, Canada and now Spain if he'd pitted instead of staying out.

[@angelrobles7201]

That's why he won in Miami: the SC period arrived _after_ the pitstop window. Meaning that Lando didn't have the chance to screw that golden opportunity.

[@patrickrkruger]

@angelrobles7201 Sure. But when he pulled away, he earned that trophy. Edit. When Russell had the 5 second put stop. I was cheering for Lando to pit for the obvious undercut. Then his radio message. Lando's hubris makes him think he can out drive the science of racing. He'll learn. And then he'll win more.

[@Ecm1031]

I keep seeing people say this was an exciting race. If that's what "exciting" is then this sport is just boring and time to realize it for what it is. When qualifying effectively determines 85 percent of the outcome every race and after the first few turns it becomes "who can under/over cut a car with a pit stop" instead of "who is passing who on the circuit" its not racing, it's just driving. And I'm hardly talking about those great battles for p9-p10. If that's the best they have to offer....but hey, at least we'll get 4 episodes of DTS on Alpine next year.....
