Please Audi You Want A Long Term Strategy Right?? Okay You've Got Hulkenberg For The Experience How About

please audi you want a long term strategy right?? okay you've got hulkenberg for the experience how about colapinto for the amazing rookie fighting red bulls in his 3rd race of the season IN A WILLIAMS??? oh its risky? imagine if mclaren thought that way w lando or oscar? imagine if red bull thought that way with max? cmon u know you want to.

I can’t remember what stream it was that I watched but I read a comment about Oscar’s driving style on YouTube and it was so well written I wanted to share it.

Text of the comment (please read it in full as it’s very interesting!):

“Something I've seen no one talk about but I've seen the Sky F1 hosts mention it a few times. Every time Oscar is significantly off Lando's pace in free practice and quali, he's using Lando's car set up. This has happened at a few races, notably Spain, Zandvoort and Singapore.

This especially happens whenever there's upgrades. It seems the MCL35 is essentially built around Lando and his preferences, and that whenever upgrades or changes are made to the car between races, its done and set up according to Lando's data/preferences/input. It makes sense in a way since he's been at the team for 6 years now and has honed his driving style in to the McLaren, but that also means he has had 6 years to basically work out exactly how the McLaren has to be driven and how he wants his cars balanced and set up.

In other words, they use Lando's settings for Oscar's car almost like a default setting. If you've watched any of the sessions of these aforementioned races, the commentators make a note of how Oscar's using Lando's setup and its clear as day that Oscar isn't really comfortable with the car. You see him go more conservatively and struggle to get on the power as early as he normally would like to. All throughout free practice you're effectively watching him unpick and piece back together the puzzle McLaren have given him, in a way that feels comfortable.

Oscar is adaptable, but Lando's car setup is according to his driving style and contrary to how Oscar goes fast. The data bares this out too if you look at it. This weekend Oscar spent a little bit more time cornering than Lando but a lot more time accelerating. Conversely, Lando spent a little bit less time cornering and accelerating and a lot more time at top speed. While it has been said that Lando and Oscar have similar styles and they both want the same things out of the car, this isn't exactly true. Lando is a long corner driver while Oscar is a short corner driver. Lando's approach to corners is smooth yet he also tends to go in fast, and while he would prefer a bit more oversteer than understeer, he still likes some understeer which helps take him to the limit of grip and allows the car to be planted on exits as he applies the throttle. He likes a stable car that doesn't want to rotate so easily. That's what gives him confidence and allows him to trust the car.

Oscar on the other hand wants to go in slower, take more of a V-shape, straighten up the car ASAP and get on the power immediately, and he prefers a much pointer front-end and a car much more willing to rotate, to help him do that. The "get on the power ASAP" bit is especially key to his driving style, as ive noticed that when he can't do that he isn't comfortable with the car and lacks confidence. To that end, I think Oscar's style is closer to that of Vettel, Leclerc and Verstappen, than it is Lando. I don't know who i'd compare Lando's style to, but I think maybe Sainz and Button.”
