The 41-year-old Spaniard played down the pace he showed on Friday, but admitted it had been "another good start". It's all just managing the tyres because they don't really let you push around here, so with a low-deg circuit, I think the lap times are very close so it's definitely not like Bahrain."Īlonso continued Aston Martin's resurgence after taking a surprise podium in Bahrain, with his decision to join the team that finished seventh in last season's constructors' championship continuing to pay dividends. "In the long run, I think we all seemed quite close to each other. "I think we had a positive day but there are still things that we can do better," Verstappen said. Verstappen, who is chasing a third successive world championship, appeared in a league of his own, with his only scare coming as he momentarily lost control in the final corner and almost struck the same wall he ruined a memorable qualifying lap with in 2021. The only difference under the lights in the evening was that it was Alonso directly behind him rather than Perez. If so, and you’ve probably already realized it, you may have “resting bitch face” (sometimes called RBF).Verstappen predicts that tyre management will mean the field are much closer in Saudi Arabia than they were in Bahrain. Resting bitch face is a problem dealt with by women and the occasional man (Kanye West, I’m looking at you) that makes them look irritated, upset, or otherwise unhappy when they are feeling perfectly calm and just resting their face. It also happens to people who are too tired to smile all the time. When doing research for my book Captivate, I found a fascinating study on the science of the resting bitch face. ↑ Table of Contents ↑ What Creates Resting Bitch Face? It revealed why some people look calm and relaxed when they’re feeling neutral while others look like moody bitches. Jason Rogers, a behavioral neuroscientist, ran neutral pictures of celebrity faces through a face-scanning software to discover the differences between those who have resting bitch face and those who don’t. He found that a typical neutral face will only register approximately 3% of hidden emotions. People with resting bitch face however show an average of 6% underlying emotions and most of that is contempt.įull contempt is shown when one side of the mouth is slightly raised. Some people’s mouths naturally raise on one side when they are resting, causing them to look contemptuous even though they’re feeling neutral. “Eastern European people are seen as very stoic and not showing a lot of emotion and … a lot of the people touted as having RBF are women.” - Abbe Macbeth, behavioral researcher This can cause lots of problems since people subconsciously have negative reactions to expressions of contempt because it is the universal facial expression for hatred and disdain. ↑ Table of Contents ↑ Resting Bitch Face is in the Angles If you want to learn more about contempt and why it plays such a big role in our perception of people, check out our article on The Science of Contempt. People with resting bitch face also tend to have features that are naturally angled down. For example, some people have eyes that are downcast, making them look more tired and depressed while others have downward angled mouths that make them look perpetually upset.

This is why people often think I’m upset when nothing is wrong. ↑ Table of Contents ↑ How to Get Rid of (And Cure) Your Resting Bitch Face in 7 Steps Just like the features that create resting face, there are all sorts of slight variations in your face that send strong messages to the people you interact with.
