Mercedes always do this. They always look slow during testing, they always go "oh no the car's not quick enough, we're definitely the underdogs now!" and then they're miraculously fast during race weekend. Maybe it worked the first time they did it but literally nobody believes them now. Would be funny if they're actually slow this time though
I see where your coming from and yes I agree with do always do it.Mercedes always do this.

I am the same, 100% anybody but Red Bull and the is all down to Horner.
Same for me. Except I dislike Max and Horner. Also Helmut.
I dont think hes bluffing, gonna stick my neck out and say at Bahrain, neither Mercedes qualifies in top 5.
If Alfa and haas both have decent cars that should point to Ferrari being a beast this season as they are basically B-tec Ferrari, both have gained experience of Ferrari engineers as Ferrari had to let go of them for financial limits. Also alfa is the best looking car out there
I have a thought that the new radical zero side pods have been in development for a while, a good while and they were not seen at the shakedown test because they were just not ready.
I did think this also, hoping that Ferrari get it together and can challenge and do it with a legal car
Oh I’m not saying they haven’t been in development for a long time, but it is bizzare to see such a core component of the top half aero change so dramatically.
They had to lift , if not George would have bounced out of the car had they gone faster down the straight
The new slimline pods have definitely been in Mercedes plans for at least a year id say. In order to run such thin air pods, you need to do alot of work on cooling the car and the engine. Mercedes spend along time on cooling aspects for this years engine, so you would conclude that it was always in their plans to run slim side pods.
We don’t often agree, but exactly what I posted too yesterday. Good riddance to these cnuts.
Fecking brat, he is worse than Stroll even. There was enough material just from the title fight to create two full seasons , instead they put that in the last two episodes and the rest was about teams nobody cares about.i can't believe they essentially dedicated a whole episode of DTS to a mazespin redemption plot. That Russia GP episode was fecking HILARIOUS, esepcially the radio message at the end that made it sound like mazespin clawed his way up the field.
I love DTS, but wow, the amount of show-induced narratives, outright cringe inducing "breakfast chats" and careful framing of comments needs to be refreshed. I want behind the scenes, not a scripted-PR show.
moment were so bizarre.You're probably right, though Perez isn't necessarily a bad driver. He did well at Racing Point and has had a few good drives in the Red Bull as well. Red Bull and Max have both said they've made the car more stable at the rear for this year so less tailored towards Max's driving style and easier to drive for most drivers. They felt that with last year's car they went down a development path that benefitted Max but hurt the general performance of the car and made it harder to drive. Also this year it's a brand new car which Perez will have helped develop so it'll probably suit him better. I think there's a good chance Perez will do better this year but we'll see.
Love it
