Really looking forward to seeing how he performs this weekend, hoping he performs in line with all the hype surrounding his Sim work and test time in the Red Bull.

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Do keep in mind that he’ll be driving a shitbox and not a Red Bull.

[–] june@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he doesn’t win in an absolutely dominating fashion at the Hungaroring we’ll know he’s washed out.

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

We'll see, I suppose. I kinda just hope it means Yuki is pretty good.

Not to mention that his main complaint with the McLaren was corner entry and the AT has the same issue.

[–] soEZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And breaks, don't forget the breaks...that Yuki describes in very colorful words last I remember...

This will be interesting, but my bet is if he could not consistently put decent laps with a shitbox mclaran, changing to a shitbkx alpha won't change a thing....

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That's not a good sign then. :(

[–] Determinator@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I know, definitely managing my expectations cause of that. Will be interesting to see how he performs relative to Yuki at least.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Part of me wonders if the car is actually better than it has looked driven by Yuki and Nyck.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I've been under the impression that Yuki has been driving exceptionally well for most parts of the season. Especially until recently, he's been incredibly consistent.
