#re: your post in my inbox is overall great and poetic but i very much disagree about verstappen's driving style and preference of understeer #he absolutely heavily favours oversteer #in fact his *preferred* setup is incredibly oversteer #like a whole new world of front end #it doesn't mean he can't cope with understeer - he doesn't like it (nor does charles) but he is brilliant at it (charles too) #i agree that his style going into a corner is quite different from charles - the way the latter throws himself into a corner is... #extremely aggressive #max is razor perfect and charles aims for perfection on the razor edge is more how i would describe it #for me their car preference is very similar - they love snappy front end with extreme responsiveness and have amazing skill to wrestle it #they scorn understeer because that balance through the whole corner is unnecessary for their level of skill but they ROCK at understeer too #in fact the less responsive front end makes the car more unstable to drivers like them #in their earlier days i would stay max's incomparable quality was his internal clock - absolutely unbeatable timing #so his corners/braking/etc are just perfect and he extracts the absolute maximum #charles of that era actually took a more square/straight racing line which is fascinating as it's not the 'ideal racing line' #but he lets the car rotate on entry into the balancing phase of a corner and exits with a straighter line #not at all like max but very fast #i think he has actually adapted as some of the short shifting out of corners may have led to more tire deg back in the day #meanwhile his tire management (ferrari setup disasters aside) has been excellent last season #elle.txt #analysis #technical #car ride conversations with the hubby... this is what we ramble about lmao #btw thank you so much for the message! and so appreciate your love of my fics. it means so much <3 ty!
