Merc bouncing like a kangaroo. Could they not lift that car by an inch or two? Surely they are losing time scraping the ground like that.

The video is very cool. Almost as good as Kimi's. BTW, that's not bossanova. You know bossanova by the elevator muzak vibes.

In fact, this is a Ray Corniff interpretation of Aquarela do Brasil.

25

u/Bhrandark BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

Yup, “Aquarela do Brasil” was recorded before traditional Bossa Nova music was invented. It’s the perfect “early 20th century Brazil” theme song.

Jobim would be spinning in his grave.

In a syncopated way.

u/Vultures305 "Charles 'Chuck' Leclerc, good job baby" Nov 09 '24

Lmao was gonna say it’s not technically bossa nova which has a very specific rhythm but other than that 10/10 vibes

23

u/FelixS5S BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

This reminds of the Stig from Top Gear. Listening to silly music or an audiobook while doing a crazy lap time.

I think they want to create an explosive environment in the pipes.

u/whoryus BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

so max started on 2nd gear..normal?

89

u/Healthy_Guidance_473 Trust the El 🅱️lan Nov 09 '24

I would say they all start in 2nd under these conditions

25

u/dadepu BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

Except for lando

6

u/Blackwolf245 BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

I belive some even start 2nd in dry conditions.

-43

u/whoryus BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

i see..under stewards instructions is it?

68

u/Tame_Trex BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

No, their own decision. Starting in 1st gear will induce too much wheelspin in the wet, so 2nd gear is chosen for the balance between limiting wheelspin and still getting away smoothly.

23

u/_69pi BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

nah it’s just the same as short shifting when you’re getting back on it, less torque = more grip so while you’re much slower at low revs, you won’t fuck your tires or lose time to wheel spin.

10

u/GalwayBogger “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” Nov 09 '24

Yes, see Jolyon Palmers analysis of the race start discussing this, you see them all in 2nd gear for a wet start to avoid wheel spin

6

u/quintinza Horner sent me a picture of his “Finger” 😳 Nov 09 '24

Yes 2nd gear is standard for them on wet tracks. Palmer talks about it in his analysis.

14

u/wigneyr BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

You’ve never driven a manual car in the wet have you

5

u/Suikerspin_Ei 🇳🇱 I’m DUTCH so I support AMX 🇳🇱 Nov 09 '24

Me in my Peugeot 108, no way I can drive away from 2nd gear /s

2

u/ppSmok BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 10 '24

Downhill it is possible.

u/Suikerspin_Ei 🇳🇱 I’m DUTCH so I support AMX 🇳🇱 Nov 10 '24

Downhill in the Netherlands, where?😂

Watching the 2024 Brazilian GP make me wanna see more wet races in the future. It was freakin fascinating to watch.

Haha look at Lewis car. How he parried all that race, insane. Max was incredible!

u/ppSmok BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 10 '24

If there‘d be two Perez, Marko would be buried in Graz already. He couldn‘t handle that much frustration.

5

u/tybot1 BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 09 '24

Where did he start and how many places did he gain in this first lap?

11

u/Brother_69420 Chad Racing Team Nov 09 '24

He started 17th (effectively 15th because Albon could not make it to the grid and some dumb guy apparently beached his car after spinning out on the tarmac in the formation lap) and gained 6 places in the first lap.

u/brilleeeeeeeee Vettel Cult Nov 09 '24

and a gorgeous move for a seventh overtake right at the start of lap 2

u/AraAraWarshipWaifus mission spinnow Nov 09 '24

I’m assuming the 2 long burnouts and extra ramp (what’s a ramp?) are what he did before lining up on the grid; is that for warming up or conditioning the tyres?

5

u/zorbat5 🇳🇱 I’m DUTCH so I support AMX 🇳🇱 Nov 09 '24

It's indeed for extra heat in the rear tyres.

3

u/Healthy_Guidance_473 Trust the El 🅱️lan Nov 09 '24

Nobody knows. Might be tires, might give explosive environment in the pipes, might be just to impress everyone 😁 good luck. Anyway it's awesome.

1

u/MillstoneArt BWOAHHHHHHH Nov 10 '24

It's for heating up the rears. The fronts get more heat than the rears when they're scrubbing, and they need the rears to be hot for the race start. Not sure what was meant by ramp here, but it's definitely not for show and there are definitely people who know.

I know Lewis was just praying to stay alive. But that lunge down the inside tho. And the run round the outside whilst the others were in a traffic jam in t3. Guy has a race brain.
