Anything to knock the smugness off the Red Bull team.
5th and 9th!The Mercs in 5th and 6th…
Yeah was a Bottas joke5th and 9th!
Every car running a Ferrari engine has performed considering better than those running Mercedes engines. Really not a good look for Mercedes when they said they’d put a considerable amount of time and effort into producing a car that would continue to dominate moving into a new era of F1.Yeah was a Bottas joke
Outqualifying his old car. Love it. And a Haas beating a Merc. Madness.
While I don't want to sound like a gore or one of them fans who watches just to see the crashes, I will be really interested how that Mercedes copes with a collision. It looks a bit "rampy" in the middle which I appreciate isn't a common place to connect in a collision, but where all the other teams have worked reinforcements for the driver into their side pods, despite watching a couple of videos on it, I still don't see anywhere to build the same sort of protection into the Merc in that shape.
I'm not an engineer - all it will take is for someone who knows what they're looking at to tell me it's legit, I'll buy that, but all I find is videos talking about how radical it is, how different it is, how they've managed to make it within the rules, but nobody has actually said if it's safe.
I think one worry for Mercedes will be if the issues are in the engine - given the freeze will lock in engine performance for a few years. If they are behind the Ferrari and Red Bull/Honda - that is an issue that will linger.

Yeah I read a week or 2 back how the new Mercedes engine plus all the car modifications had blown everyone away in testing.Every car running a Ferrari engine has performed considering better than those running Mercedes engines.

It’s disappointing that the new regs haven’t levelled the playing field as much, I hat high hopes that we’d see more teams being competitive, rather than one or two dominating like we’ve seen for the last twenty years or so.Unreal seeing Mercedes so far off the pace. Was hoping for a closer field overall this year but looks like it'll be two teams fighting it out with everyone else a mile away like the past few years.
Haas are looking surprisingly competitive - as far as non-title contenders go at least - they've shot right up from the back of the pack. Sad to see Williams still languishing at the tail end, thought they could do better with the change in regs shaking things up but not to be by the look of it.
Well, after 8 straight constructor’s championships, I think Mercedes have a proper fight on their hands. Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes should be competitive with each other all season.It’s disappointing that the new regs haven’t levelled the playing field as much, I hat high hopes that we’d see more teams being competitive, rather than one or two dominating like we’ve seen for the last twenty years or so.
It’s early days yet though, so there’s a small part of me that hopes this is just teething troubles for some teams, sadly the realist side of me is equally pessimistic that it’ll just be the same variation that we’ve seen over the years.
I mean his team lobbied for a win and he got his championship off the back of LobbyingIt was so obvious this would be the final verdict, the report being released during the opening weekend of the new season is ridiculous.
Despite him being a worthy champion, this taints Max's win, the driver doesn't deserve this but...
