And of course something out of Russells control has to knock him back behind Hamilton in points.

Seriously who really cares. GR will finish ahead anyway and you lot can bang on about 3 year championship like Button in 2010 - 2012 while your blinded by the simple fact that this team is deteriorating and will continue to do so unless they make some tough decisions throughout the organisation.

The incompetence all around is beyond a joke. Riding onboard with Russell and in particularly Hamilton was grim stuff. Tentative, low grip, brakes not working properly. Bouncing etc just a endless shithow of performance from a car that has been upgraded. GR is driving the wheels off but even he's starting to believe this team aint got what it takes. They have parred off Lewis like a hamburger wrapper into a bin. At this rate he's just a passenger with these setups and low effort from his side of the garage. Bono giving him sparse responses was evident.

There's no doubt there making life harder for Lewis, he looks like a absolute amateur on track, i see no shades of vintage no shades of him maximising the car. Yes Lewis in general doesn't like these cars and his performances have been hit and miss in the modern era but this year... even his race pace has gone missing with this car.

10 plus years with a team that has been the stable for Lewis's career and this is how it ends. Seriously id rather Lewis calls it quits now and get Kimi in that car ASAP. Both parties are done. Divorce.

- Fines for Mercedes for the tyre pressure changes with the wheels on the car on the grid. €5000 for each incident

That was more on Russell for being a better driver than the others today. He is very capable in these conditions. He mugged Norris on the 1st lap, withstood the pressure from a faster car for half of the race, then got Norris again on the restart. He didn't put a foot wrong all day unlike others.

Meanwhile, the silver circus tried to ruin Russell's race with the illegal tire pressure adjustments and the early pit stop. At least they didn't give him the other car's tires this time...

With logic like this it's easy to apply all sorts of fallacies and fantasies to kick the team.
Good results = Driver.
Poor results = Silver circus.

George has actually been very impressive this season, in quali and the races. He had the mechanical in Silverstone where the car was quick and Lewis won, then he gets the DQ in Spa where he finished first. Then another bit of bad luck in Mexico. All in all there's probably been a good 50 point swing in favour of Lewis due to things outside his control but somehow he has managed to claw it all back and more. The team is in good hands from a driving perspective, they just need to deliver a car that can do the job.

Unfortunately, the problem is your last sentence. The team has no understanding of this GE regulation, and have proven to be unable to deliver a championship winning car.

Also, you conveniently left out the huge chunks of good luck that Russell has received, with the inherited win in Austria, and inherited podium in Baku.

They've steadily improved since 2022, they could find something yet.

Others making bad decisions is not luck if you put yourself in a position to take advantage. Drivers will always tangle, everyone behind benefits. It could've been Lewis who picked up that win and podium if he put his car in a better position. However, getting a technical DNF and a DQ at the two best tracks of the year for your car, where you finished first in one and probably on the podium in the other, that is proper bad luck affecting only one car and nothing to do with driving.

We must be watching a different sport. They’ve gone backwards. Delusional to think otherwise.

Points in 2022 - 515, points in 2024 - 382 with 2 sprints more and 1 race less. Numbers are indisputable really...
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Exactly, hence my post.
