Mercedes don't turn into underdogs just because they tell so.
It seems to have worked that way over the last couple years.
Mercedes stays calm, cool, and quietly go about their business.
Ferrari makes tactical mistakes, or has some driver errors, and then get racked over the coals by the fans and press.
When you have the fastest car the planet has ever seen you tend to be a bit cooler, a bit calmer don't you think? It makes things easier, them being less under pressure is not down to Toto Wolff announcing them underdogs, it's down to them having the best car overall. Otherwise they do mistakes as well, they just aren't criticized to hell and talked about all year like Ferrari.

starting circle, Is this just a bad translation or am I missing something?
Cicle > cycle. Not circle.
Well I think the guy in twitter does indeed mean circle and is referring to the that tv graphic FOM shows in tv coverage. Usually when there's some failure of a component or before the start of a race or any time they show a graphic of 5 or so circles each within the other inwards to outwards (must be like 3 this season?) that represents the components used. When you change a component you get to the next circle and it flashes red when the driver reaches the maximum number of components used.
