Nice, I was so sure when Horner said that Merc speed decreased because they put pressure on them was complete BS.
Dude was grinning like the Cheshire Cat despite turning in relatively worse qualifying performance compared to Brazil. I think RBR have become too focused on the off-track stuff.
I thought it was kind of funny when Horner spouted his usual "Merc haven't been under pressure in a championship battle before so it's interesting to see how they cope" line as well. Because think back to 2010-13....RBR were never really under that much pressure either and, when they were, they focused more on wining about their engine or other teams rather than their own weaknesses.
I think Merc are coping better with the pressure than RBR in my opinion.
And Lewis is definitely coping better than Max. Hell, Lewis seems to be thriving on the pressure - which is something we know he has said in the past.
