Let’s not polute the 2022 McLaren Team thread with “Conspiracy Theories”, let’s discuss the Team and everything related to it… If you have proof that Mercedes is cheating, been allowed to cheat, braking the rules or any other theories, I welcome you to open a different thread to discuss it… Let’s just not do it here.McG wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 06:15Lol what. It's every teams mission to borderline rule break e.g find the unfair advantage and Mercedes have done that several times and got away with a slap on the wrist or less. Personally I was only ever mad at Merc for the illegal tyre test back in the day but I've lived seeing their innovations, it reminded me of what McLaren used to be like. If you need me to link several sources to past incidents and innovations that were banned then banned again, then you know less about F1 than I expected. Or did you mean that big teams never threaten to leave F1... How the hell do you think these teams get their way a lot of the time, it's not by saying please. I shouldn't really have to explain to you that the more successful a team becomes, they tend to hold more weight in the sport as a whole.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑19 Feb 2022, 05:52Let’s not bring the conspiracy theories into this thread pleaseMcG wrote: ↑19 Feb 2022, 04:46
Mercedes have traditionally got away with a lot in the past. After Masi-gate and the floor rule change for 2021 I think Mercedes will be using all their clout again to push borderline rule breaking innovations. Mercedes can pull out of F1 and leave 2 teams looking for engines and a big hole where they used to be. Don't be surprised if a lot of things to go right for Mercedes from now on.
No conspiracy theories, just the way it is.
I won’t comment further in this regard, I do welcome any discussion you may want to have in regards to the team.
