In 2019 front wing assemblies were around 30kg:



So I guess 5kg loss from an over built wing is possible.

If the twitter 5kg message is correct, then merc even managed to screw that one up too this year (building a fat FW which is 5kg overweight) :cry:
Mercedes AMG + Hamilton => dreamteam!
If you can't beat'em, call Masi!

It seems light when changed during the pit stop. It must be just a feeling from my sofa :D

Probably built it extra strong in case they were racing close to Max. Now they're not, they can lighten it up. :lol:

With the new racing rules given to the drivers, they can go with the lightweight one from now on - no more "let them race!" from Christian... :lol:

Odd it’s Hamilton that’s had the most contact with any other driver this season isn’t it though.

Is there a contact table, with associated damage from said contact?

Would definitely be interesting to see which drivers have had the most contact with each other, irrespective of fault

But you have the data. You must have as you have stated one driver as having more contact than all others.

Just have to watch the races to get a idea.

Barcelona with magnusson
Monaco with ocon? Twice
Canada with the haas.

Data without context has no meaning. Just blaming Hamilton doesn't mean he was responsible for these contacts. Concentrate on your driver and team thread instead of spitting venom in merc thread.

Note the irrespective of fault.

Who do you think has had the most contact this season?

Not to mention I’ve just gave you a list of the contact that I can remember off the top of my head to go with the initial statement I made.

How does it matter when you see data in actual context?

What data can someone give that’s there’s been contact between 2 drivers irrespective of blame? Maybe some telemetry will suit you? Or just a list of the occasions there has been contact between 2 drivers during a race weekend.

Pretty sure you will have watched the races, so know there was contact made. Your just trying to be clever
