Russell caught lying once again

Why did his engineer confirm the ERS cut over the radio immediately after he finished his lap then? Marcus Dudley in on the conspiracy out the gate too?

the video actually confirms that the engine got confused, just not by "not lifting" but by using 8th gear instead of 7th.

Due to driver error

It's funny that Ant on the Sky pad picked up on this before George mentioned it.

Probably knew what happened since he's a merc sim driver.

hard to say, from the outside. His driving style didn't fit the engine mapping, but no idea if he could have known this in advance.

Wonder if Mercedes will sabotage Russell's car this weekend so Hamilton has a better race so it ends up being a better send off him being his last race?

That happens only in movies.
And in LH fanworld, it happens in reverse, ie, Mercedes intentionally sabotaging LH's car to make him look bad.

What happened to the special livery??

Their "special livery" is just a small block of 150 fans' names on the nose. The blue 77 number and overalls that Valtteri got in 2021 are way more than what Lewis gets.

While the livery is underwhelming Merc are going all out for Lewis, Tribute video for him on their socials, letting him drive the W04 and W09 at Silverstone, launching a new G-Wagon this week as a tribute to him, the "HOF Sir Class", Banners of him at the front of Petronas' headquarters in Malaysia as well as in the UK and the US and there's still more coming

Wow. I was expecting something more obvious than that!!

Agreed, there's also IWC Schaffhausen doing that jet video with Lewis, so his sponsors are giving him a lot as well. I do see a special livery and maybe overalls as a basic formality nonetheless.

[ismail1991]

“Sir Class” is not enough in my opinion, it should have been more obvious, lewis’ name should have been in it or his number

[PlatinumZealot]

Yeah. Agreed not enough. A silly badge with some options on G Wagen is low effort.

Hope they honour in the future with a dedicated model, like what Sir Stirling Moss got with the Mercedes McLaren.
