They only had one run on red. They were there (after some track evolution) when they did their run.
If indeed the brakes and engines are getting thát hot that might be a real issue.
Budget cap, I'm sure you've heard of it? This isn't yesteryear, where a team could throw infinite amounts of cash and resources at "trying" new things out. Unfortunately this is an exact consequence to the budget restraints put in for this season.
Also it's just FP1 so one should not draw too much conclusions.
Probably because they have a better idea of their car than some random forum visitor.
It's baffling how uneducated someone's comments are.
Budget cap.Why aren't they?
Mercedes have always been Sir Lewis merchant, if I want to "troll" I would say 10s of gap in France between Verstappen and Hamilton is less than on some occasion last season (Austria, Zandvoort before the extrastop, Baku before the puncture of Verstappen, Mexico...)De Jokke wrote: ↑29 Jul 2022, 18:21Funny to see how many still finding this 'ok'.
Mercedes is a joke this year, I hate to say it, but I have no problem to admit it (which most people here are).
They try not much compared to other teams (AM even build a b-spec in budget cap times, Williams (also not very sound) improved much more relative to merc).
Merc in 2022:
*hmm, let's try this minor tweak to the floor: ow yes 3 thousands gain.
*Let's try a new rear wing (which other teams already had way way before): yes another tenth found.
Keep mocking my posts but I know that W14 will be a dud too if they keep going like this.
