There’s not an amount of money I’d go back into automotive CFD for though. It’s so unbelievably boring.
Curiosity question. What makes it so versus other fields?

As strong as RB has been this is their first 1-2 since 2016.
Would not have guessed that.

I don't think Lewis was capable of catching George after the start, but Nico is neglecting how detrimental the pit incident with Ocon was.

I liked that Nico asked Russell why he has done so much better in the same car than Lewis (paraphrasing).
Russell had to pause for a few seconds before giving some company line about windows etc.
Nico even said later he was hoping Russell would give a real answer because he simply has been better than Lewis.
After watching DTS I know Russell was biting his tongue because he speaks his mind in those interviews.

I think it is obvious Lewis isn't adapting as fast as George to the car, or the issues with the car.
Whether they are running the same setup, clean air, etc makes that answer a lot more complicated.
I think the response everyone wants is "I'm just a better driver"

Without writing an entire novel, the vast majority of automotive CFD is very process oriented with very little innovation and/or freedom at this point. Meshing, solving, and then output parsing gets extremely repetitive and mind numbing after the ten thousandth time you do it.
There’s a lot of fields these days where CFD is much less ‘black box’ and requires a more innovative way to get solutions to problems.

I've seen reports Ham was running a lower rear wing in Q which would mean it stayed on for the race.

Makes sense. Guess we all dream of sculpting a Pagani, but in reality a lot of Sonatas need their grill tweaked.

Saw someone say the Merc engineers are confused and have put all the old parts on the car with the yellow t-cam.

They had the Constructors trophy. Individual accomplishments for the drivers are secondary and Mercedes put up an initial show of solidarity with Ham, then shrugged it off to stay focused on the new car. Ham might have expected a better fight out of Toto. Not getting it, I think the disappointment affected him and he's not the same, single minded, steely focused driver he was. It happens. Look at Vettel. He was money for so many years, but Covid and Aston Martin have taken the fire out of his belly.

Not a good day for the red cars. Carlos needs a good result or he is going to start manifesting the worst.
I wanna bitch about the slow move to DRS because Leclerc had Perez twice but it is what it is.
It is interesting how Ferrari and Red Bull are each managing their update money. Neither one knows what it is like to be poor and they each are going different paths. RBR is like pawpaw who gets his check and is like frickit lets buy a boat and Ferrari is like mawmaw who has extra money in the bank at the end of the month because she won't buy anything. We will see how that works out in the end.
A changing conditions race always makes for some interesting finishing positions and outside RBR this one ran true. Other than Checo's mistake late RBR just never had the type of pressure on them that causes the wet mistakes.

Just a wild theory, but it seems like Lewis has been so used to having the best car by far that he’s in the habit of playing it safe. Almost like he’s so accustomed to just driving mistake free and letting the car win that when opportunities to take a risk present themselves he’s always lagging the more aggressive guys up front now, for example switching from the inters today. Could be way off

Both good theories. As a team Merc could be suffering from that as well. They should have pulled Hamilton in a lap earlier than they did, seemed like they needed more buyoff rather than making the ballsy decision to be 1st (or 2nd to RIC).
Merc has never really produced a car good at following. They always could rely on the engine to get them over that deficiency though.

Haas waited too long with Mag as well. He doesn't say much on the radio but he was letting them know his inters were junk and they kept him out at least 2 or 3 more laps, only pitting after Ric came in.
I have the same feel about where Ham is right now. He's used to having the best car so is not aggressive. And at this point in his career he may have reservations about making bold moves that may end up with him in the fence.
I had to laugh at Toto telling him the car was undrivable while the other Merc was up in 4th. Nico is absolutely right in that Wolff is massaging Ham's delicate psyche.

Do you think he was pushing too hard on Lap 1?
I mean, you have 60+ more laps to go and it is pretty certain you will pass Danny at some point later.
