Mercedes AMG F1 Team 2012

[yener]

Mercedes GP finally did what we are screeming for almost 3 season. Use every race weekend as a "practise" weekend.

Lots of people including me always said that they should try different parts like; exhaust, wings, suspensions, diffusers.

And finally they did it! It took them 2.5 years to do this. So i think they will be WC somewhere around 2020!

Incredible lap by Schumacher =D> . Lets hope he can bring the car home in points [-o< . P17 for Rosberg is very surprising. He put in a 1:37:2 on lap 6 of an 8 lap run in FP3 and could only manage a 1:38:5 on lap 7 of an 8 lap run in qualifying using old exhaust config for both sessions, with obviously the same fuel loads. Just couldn't get the tyres to work I guess. Other drivers got relatively faster in qualifying.

Michael on podium tomorrow [-o<

yes please [-o<

[Raptor22]

relatively green track and lower temps, just like China. So they go well.

[Vasconia]

Amazing lap by Michael, once again he shows his talent when te car peforms a little bit, its terrible not to see him next season so hopefully we could see him on podium(yes, I am a dreamer). [-o<

[banibhusan]

I don't see it happening unless there is a huge 1st corner pile up and some extraordinary technical failures leading to most of the front running cars out of the race including Webber, Hamilton, Kimi, Alonso, Massa etc etc etc..

Excluded Vettel because, well he is driving a Red Bull with rocket launchers at the back..He has never crashed out of T1 while starting from Pole.

Incredible lap by Schumacher =D> .

he always does well in low grip situations , i'd imagine the slippy austin track for schumacher is just like driving in the rain.

makes sense hes punching the car above its weight imo

[Ganxxta]

relatively green track and lower temps, just like China. So they go well.

They?

One good thing also is that he is on the good side of the track now with Grosjeans +5, maybe that can help to gain some positions at the start. [-o<

[Raptor22]

THey = Mercedes cars , drivers

[snoop1050]

his tyres overheated on the first set , probably again with the hards...

i guess the coanda exhaust is cooking them

[SchumiSutil]

Conclusion : the coanda exhaust is not an improvement. Schumacher had no grip at all on his first set, after that, he just did testing.

[clipsy1H]

conclusion: this team need more than a driver!! at the moment looks like a lost cause! Ross need to come with something revolutionary next year. Red Bull are so strong also McLaren but without Lewis there will be hard for them.

A newbie (can't remember his name) said that Lewis will bring 0.5-0.8 sec to Mercedes that will be interesting. Now they are over 1,5 sec off the pace so with lewis they will be at 0.7

[Ganxxta]

I think we can stop dreaming about points this year

[marcush.]

their development is just useless ,the rosberg evaluation just shows how bad things have developped.They seem to be the single team that has not mastered the pirellis this year...

[diego1960]

Oh my God....

What an awful performance yet again, slow and difficult to drive, at least there was no strategy confusion as usual. It is a mystery how they always achieve to be in a worse position than the race before, race after race. Awful, I can't stand the thought that Mercedes' name and MSC's last races are thrown away because of the incompetence of the Brackley squad to build a decent F1 car.

Disheartening result, Brazil's final lap can't come soon enough.
