So what exactly do you think pushing the engines to the limit of reliability for another tenth or two and the odd non-finish when they went pop would have gotten Mercedes so far?
What really pains me is how the 2021 WDC was stolen by Michael Masi. LH44 is getting on in age, and George is every bit a match for him in pace at the moment, and will get quicker as LH44 gets slower. Then we have the situation with the car. I don't see the 8XWDC happening again.De Jokke wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 10:47Anybody else surprised why an 8x wcc team:
*has underestimated purpoising compared to rival teams
*could only bring a modified wing after a number of races instead after the winter tests
*has its engine only where it wants it to be from race 6 onwards
Seriously baffled by these amateurish approach to 2022, you would expect more from an 8x wcc team.
I'm not here to bash the team but it has to be said: they missed the boat by a large margin this season.
I really hope they can still compete this season with fer and rbr:
+they can now hone the setup with the modified bits
+they can now bring a raft of updates which are for performance, not for purpoising fixing anymore
-they might be done this season, if the rumour that they are close to the limit of the budget cap already, is true
It's clear he's not walking around with a clear mind. George is.rickybobbyf1 wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 17:17Same thoughts. It’s getting hard to justify his slump. I hope he recovers…
This is the first race weekend where the car is actually driveable and Lewis is only trailing George by 1 tenth.rickybobbyf1 wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 17:17Same thoughts. It’s getting hard to justify his slump. I hope he recovers…
There are 19 other drivers that wish they had highs in their careers as good as this “slump” so don’t go too overboard with the criticismrickybobbyf1 wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 17:17Same thoughts. It’s getting hard to justify his slump. I hope he recovers…
He still wants to sniff whos at the front.
