But both Mercedes cars have had amazing luck so far !

It’s called “reliability.” Speed is fine. Finishing is final.

Good comradery!

The porpoising is extensive, even reaching the drivers' vocal chords at the 0:04 mark.

The car is at least reliable. That could be the key to success

It means they can now work on things other than getting to the finish with a working break.
They can start on the stuff they were hoping to do 3 weeks ago now.

Dear Mods, If you are doing clean-up then please do a thorough job. I know my posts deserved to be deleted, but then few other posts as well as my responses were only because of those moronic posts. A humble request to maintain neutrality.

Good luck with the mods. There is a certain "factor" to their actions. Max fans having a go at Mercedes is well within their "factor" allowances.

True, And if Lewis fans have a go at redbull or max it's an instant warning

I wish our two had a bit of personality like the McLaren driver's. You can't have everything I suppose, signing Lando when Lewis leaves would be my 1st choice

Guys, please where's the ignore button and how do I use it? Zibby and PZ, help out.

I rarely visit other team threads, let alone post there. I try to avoid the race thread as well but for goodness sake, these trolls still find their way to the Mercedes team and car threads.

Hamilton had all the luck in the world. He scored much higher points in Saudi than he should have after a disastrous qualy, got a podium due to 2 RBs retiring in Bahrain & today Verstappen had a DNF & Alonso would have been ahead in qualy without a technical issue. So let's no crib about luck here. Hamilton pitted 1 lap ahead of Russel & it wasn't planned. He was barely 3s ahead of Russel after 20+ laps & ended a few seconds behind - There was nothing between them & same was it Bahrain. Russel is no Bottas. How good he is no1 knows - Let the whole season go before making any judgement.

And Perez is Redbulls best driver.
I should ignore your posts really, but if you have not noticed, even the Mclarens were running line astern.
Norris who normally drops riciardo was not able to drop him. Daniel constantly getting drs.
Its just how these cars are. You can literally maintain a 1 second gap the whole race by just getting a little slipstream advantage while still having enough front end to follow.
We will not see drivers dropping other cars with similar speed.
The only time we saw that was Leclerc showing Max a clean pair of heels increasing his gap lap by lap.

After winning a record consecutive championships and being so used to all the media attention, it may take a while for Hamilton to adjust to this new reality of competing for 3rd and 4th. Like all the other multiple champions who came before LH, an once "invincible" F1 champion without a good car can very quickly become average. So I think LH's greatest challenge for 2022 will perhaps be to stay motivated as a team and to finish the season ahead of his teammate (whom I believe is highly motivated to race against LH in the same car).

Hi! Go to your user control panel after clicking on your name/avatar in the top right of the screen. You'll see a tab on the right pop up that says "Friends and Foes." Click "Manage Foes" and add whomever you wish to the ignore list and voila!

Let me know if that all makes sense.

Thanks Zibby. I have added a few people to the ignore list.

They should perhaps try what Alpine is doing. By reducing the rear wing the porpoising disappeard so they could run the car lower. That is also why Alpine has such a good top speed

Lando commited himself until 2026, the question is if Lewis will stay for that long, or who will be used for that period of time. Mclaren would probably want a pretty big amount of buyout money for Lando, to break the contract sooner.

Lewis lawyers on the work right away. Neither you or me know what exactly happened on that track. Only Lewis, George and Mercedes know. The fact of the matter however is that George finished ahead and is ahead in the standings. And the rest is pure speculation.

Hmmm.. you must have missed the part where Lewis was ahead in the first stint when George was slower and around 7 sec behind Lewis before the safety car came.

Hmmm...Have there been any points given for that or were they given after the race?

So according to your logic Max is a crap driver isn't it? he could only score 0 points in 2 races
