These Mercedes problems proves just one thing, that a driver no matter how good he is or how much he is pumped-up to be. It’s got to be the car that allow him too.

F1 been the same for 70+ years and is no different now. Just seems more people like to highlight the importance of the car over the last 7 years for some reason.

That's simply not true. They always did that. It was the same in the Wiliams, the Benetton, McLaren, Ferrari and RedBull era. AND it was always true.

So Franco Nugnes is saying... Correlation! And now they think they've found it and know why the floor corrugations weren't working. Excellent! Now I've remembered the wind tunnel is only allowed to do up to 180 kph I suppose this kind of thing is always likely isn't it. So let's see in a couple of hours 🤩

Edit please let's not fall for the obvious frickin trolling from saviour thingy

This doesnt need proving, anybody with half a clue about formula 1 knows this perfectly well.

Nice... the black was too much similar to Russell's.
Now we know why his numbers and accents were shaded yellow during testing

The yellow and purple is quite a clash and I'll miss the purple/black helmet. However this still looks great and it's going to be eye-catching on track, especially in comparison to Russell's

Just realized it matches the yellow highlights on his car...
