So hamilton runs one floor with a hole in it and George the other? Sounds and looks abit desperate, no?
Seems to be the case, Lewis still running the experiments it seems.
I would say edging to that way, they dont have a clue , well thats what it looks like .
You make it sound like Russell is newbie who has no idea how F1 car work and that Hamilton is ready to sacrifice half of his season to make better car for himself and Russell, which is extremely stupid from Hamilton's POV even if it's true. No one is making him do that.
Also, it seems like every one of their experiment was terrible considering Hamilton finished every race behind Russell so I am not sure why is he happy to continue doing that?
Red Bull already look unbeatable.
Ocon brake pad is on fire.
Apparently picked up some sord of object, tissue or towel, that caused it.

Too early to tell.
Well to start with they aren’t bouncing down the straight, so it’s not going to be a hit they will have to take tomorrow
Porpoising comparison.
The Merc looks absolutely undriveable.
Ferrari at times their bouncing is worst than the Merc's.
Why is it Ferrari get the speed but the Merc is a dog.

Ferrari don't do random shit such as bore holes through their cars floor.
Rather more serious I think the difference is that Ferrari stop bouncing before the corners entry.
yeah there is that, but no seriously how?
The Ferrari is ,if they get their reliability sorted, is a real threat to Red Bull, some of the bouncing in FP1 is horrendus.
Roadkill
Feck, there are literally marmots passing in front of F1 cars.
That groundhog marmot type thing is cute (though nearly flat)
I looks horrible, 0.7 behind Max is huge, Sainz is having a decent FP1
Alonso with some great lap times on mediums.

The amount Hamilton was bouncing in that thing looked horrendous it looks concussion levels
We're probably going to see a Merc with a superglued piece of carbon fibre to cover up the hole tomorrow.
Yup definitely not sustainable.
How is Lewis even keeping that car on the track, Mercedes need to stop with the experimental parts and hole in the floor.
There is no stopping Max, Seb doing well within .5 of Max

- Charles will take pole tomorrow, but start at the back of the grid. Unlucky guy.
- Disappointing day for Checo.
- Lewis' car is a mess.

Is that confirmed? Read a few hours ago that they will avoid a penalty by using the first turbo after all.
Mercedes won’t be fixing that then, Allison interview is pretty grim.
Lewis probably should have walked away end of last year in hindsight, Mercedes can’t even work out what’s the issue so they have no hope of rectifying it for next year. Does Hamilton need to be racing around for 5th/6th for another season or two? Dude could go have fun in Indycar or something.

10 places maybe?
One of the interesting comments from Hamilton beyond not expecting anything until next year was that they'll "raise the car for the race as expected". Sounds like they run practice to try things, and then race with a higher setup to reduce the proposing which might explain the slightly better race results.
He's quite obviously had enough of this car though.

He strikes me has a person who would not walk away from something half finished.
The simple fact is that Red Bull aero people have designed a car and floor which maximises Bernoulli's Principle more effectively than the other teams.
Heaven knows what Mercedes has been doing. But they certainly appear to be going round in circles.
Lewis Hamilton is telling them that the car is much too stiff and unforgiving and he is struggling to be able to control it.
Driveability cannot be sacrificed in the chase for performance. They have to do both. But the likelihood is that it is what it is. An awful car.
i heard that red bull is cheating and the reason they don’t porpoise is that the car runs in synthetic air and the rest of the teams have to run in normal air. the fia are trying to cover it up though.
it deserves to be there. it’s run around the lap was only 15s down on hamilton.

Correct.
