The change of direction with the front end seemed to be a good step forward from last year. When you watch either Mercedes driver between Turns 2 and 3 or further around the lap in the final sector, they are able to change direction incredibly sharply when they have a sequence of corners. This allows them to just open up the line to the second part of a sequence and carry more apex speed than anyone else.
This is particularly worrying for the opposition as the opportunities they had last year were on slower, twistier circuits. Clearly that area of weakness has been focused on and dealt with.
From a power-unit standpoint, the driveability seems extraordinary. Not once do you hear of the drivers struggling for traction, despite trying to put an estimated 1000bhp onto the ground ...
For the sake of Formula 1 and the show, I really hope that Bottas can take the fight to Hamilton this year.
Todd said another HT member likes to run over kids. Todd seems like a cool dude. He's driven lots of fancy cars like the new NSX. Not sure what his day job is but it must be interestering.
