Shroud to be added around the brake magic switch as an interim solution:

Lewis did give the "OK" to Bottas coming on board if I remember. It's natural to speak to the number 1 driver about these things. What doesn't happen is that Lewis doesn't chose the driver and has little power to reject a driver on unreasonable grounds.nzjrs wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 18:32An interesting comment from Matthew Carter on the Missed Apex podcast: "Lewis has say over his teammate".

I've never heard it stated so strongly from a person with some authority and information on the matter.
Not sure I understand. Honda has detuned Spec 2 due to reliability concerns?atanatizante wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 12:55I`m not sure if anybody saw this video from motorsport.tv, in which they said at 4:34 min that the second PU from Merc has had some improvement over the interaction between ICE and ERS, presumably they are able now to harvest more electric power into the batteries : https://motorsport.tv/embed/7xMhHnC4-ba ... econd-pole
On the same note, Matt Somerfield said on Missed Apex that Honda here in France introduced their 2nd PU spec. , which was slightly detuned just to justify an improvement over the PU with the reason of safety measures have to be applied ...
Yeah thats kind of confusing about Honda ha. It's detuned but been improved?mkay wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 13:11Not sure I understand.

Potentially lower maximum power output, but a higher amount of power output when in a sustaining mode.
This is the same tub as the one Valteri crashed in?SiLo wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 16:17https://streamable.com/nl7ebb
Interesting that Lewis and Bottas swapped chassis, and Lewis seems to be sensing something wrong with the car. I wonder if they will swap it out for a new chassis before FP3.
Potentially some form of issue with the current one might explain Bottas' speed recently.
It's the Monaco chassis I believe.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 16:24This is the same tub as the one Valteri crashed in?SiLo wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 16:17https://streamable.com/nl7ebb

Didn't Ferrari have an issue with Vettel driving around in a cracked tub a year or two ago?
Merc said it was pre-planned as part of the rotation to keep the Chassis' at similar mileage.djones wrote: ↑18 Jun 2021, 17:25Why on earth would you swap the chassis between drivers. It's as ridiculous as when they decided to swap the garage engineers.
You can't be doing some sort of equality BS when your behind in the championship and have one average driver and one 7 times champion who can actually bring home the season.
