Yes. Mercedes appear to have introduced their last large update for this season, RB seem to have committed to throwing new bits at it relentlessly. If that is the case the second part of the season should start to swing their way performance wise.Marti_EF3 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2021, 19:26You think so with the upgraded Merc and it's better understanding of the tires right now?

Given the position they are due to bad luck and incidents, they've nothing to lose, and everything to win. Epic win or Epic defeat, but don't play games and don't be conservative.

It's neck in neck, why take risks?
They need to keep a cool head, figure out when and how to best take the engine penalties and minimize the chance of another DNF.
It's all still to play for.
What I feel they need to do is change their mentality of being an underdog and making high risk calls to steal a victory hear and there. This should reflect in both strategic calls and driver behaviour.
