VER can't wait until March.

Max is looking forward to March all being well in Melbourne with the pandemic and has made interesting comments on his new teammate Perez.

Apparently Verstappen has put aside quite a lot of time to practice on his local skid pan to try and reduce the amount of time he spends losing control and spinning in poor weather conditions.
Verstappen also hopes to practice applying the brakes early enough to avoid driving into tyre barriers.

It's one of those decisions no one understands and for Honda to say that it is concentrating on a electric/hydrogen program for all its vehicles scared by snowflake government announcements is frankly strange.

Being on target will increase power over Merc by 12hp so to get more will be a plus for Honda.I can't see Merc getting much more with theirs, combustion chambers already modified for that advantage only their battery storage system mgu-k to hold out on the straights more but unlikely as they had to 'turn down' for reliability. No Merc das will be welcome by all the teams.

Yes .The Merc's "MGU-K" . It's there where they get the "unknown power advantage" from .
The "thing" was almost in his end of life-time . Checo's Pink-Merc showed it was about time...
The whole season the Merc's just pulled away by the torque advantage of the MGU-K .
Things changed quickly in Abu Dhabi , Red Bull finally closed the gap and MAX destroyed the Merc's relaxed like I make my soup in my kitchen . But Merc was already 5 months working on the '21 Merc .
I wouldn't be surprised if Merc comes in '21 with other "so said innovations" approved by the FIA circus clowns .
Merc tested a lot in the wind tunnel , the aero results are the best ever...

Let us hope for a fair game with equal machinery in 2021...

Regrettably, there are those asking for "equal machinery in 2021"....this is the literal interpretation of identically prepared race cars, or a spec-racer series.

F1 is not a spec-racer series.

I too can see Merc doing a 'Newey' and concentrating more on aero a lot, but as you say the big danger is Tody in what he will allow Merc.
Wolff has said they are half way through their build for a W12 and behind the doors are concocting what they can get away with at Brackley NN13, hopefully unlucky for them.

For the 2 VER defense attorneys....it has been noted that you chose to not engage in your "we hope all 2021 F1 cars are equal"....or equivalent nonsense such as this; tell me; do you really wish to see the sport of F1 become an "equal car" series??

The one with the fancy turn signals needs to be removed from Counsel my friend, he thinks having equal performance cars will kill the advantage of the black arrows and actually bring real race fans back in their droves.
Oh dear there is no substitute for a comedy of infantile stupidity

Max wants equal cars but his car is faster than his teammate most of the time since he becomes a test driver for Max.. what about that?

If VER is serious about equal cars he will be on the phone with Newey at all hours and living in the factory. They have a 445 million dollar budget. No excuses.

Negative, Alex was given every chance to open the car up but sadly the reactions and dynamic input were not quite there, this is why RP's ousted Perez is being given a golden opportunity.
He showed his race prowess coming up trumps after being hit by Lec and really Alex must see this.
