Not specific to this track but...

This made me like Max as a person a bunch. Wish we could see more of him outside a car and off script.

•MAX : I spent a lot of time in the sim. , there is 'zero room for a mistake !
If you want to be very fast , It's shaving walls ...

•Personal : I'm pretty sure , this track requires big b@lls !
And according to my personal calculation , the pole is +/- 1:280

Yeah . But nothing can beat the Russians E92-S85 pulling 345 km/h

Or a S65 V8 in a MINI ?

I guess hammy won't be able to wear his bikini at the Saudi GP.

But his man-dress is probably OK

Thats a cool 215mph,they have no fear putting the foot down there over the iron curtain..at night too.

One of the rumors is : That 'one of the possibilities on the Red Bull and HONDA table is ...

Replace MAX's ICE and release all the HONDA ponies !

The downside is : A 5 P grid penalty and it won't be easy to overtake at the Jeddah track ...

If it's the same output as Ham's then it'll come down to strats and he's got that bent wing also,I don't know. RB have also got a bendy wing also ready to fit I think.

Hmm strange I was saying this last thread that if Honda wanted to try and push more power out of Max's engine he'd need a new one because the risk of an engine failure was high if you try to push more power out of an old ice. But you guys kept saying it didn't need to happen....

Where are you guys even getting this from....

Also in response to the s65 talk, here is an s65 powered DCT 1m swap from Australia. It has m4 seats as well, and all coded to work seamlessly. The owner is on a different forum and he did a really good job with this.

Finally got around to watch the Jeddah sim, I agree the track looks dangerous and it's likely the walls will claim a few victims.

I saw Jennie Gow report that cars will be full throttle for 79% of the lap:

Is that the most of any circuit this year? Googling around, I see Monza is 75%, Silverstone is 70%, but I couldn't find a definitive list of full throttle percentages.
