They have been open about their struggles, I suspect Allison knew all along but let the aero team make their own mistakes. Important lesson, we’ll see how they progress now.

Braked later into turn 3 (Ham) Max did take avoiding action, it was close but not terrible and considering who we’re talking about here, Max understanding the power of his car need not fight it so hard. Similar t […]

Hope they get it together. They have outstanding drivers, they just need the car now.

@david-br – they have a contingency plan, if the concept they tried to get right last year really is terrible move to plan b. They are progressing with plan b/different concept what ever term they want to use. For […]

Perez it’s simple your only competition is Max for a drivers championship this year. He needs to get ruthless and not listen to the team all the time. If he wants to win simply be better and smarter.

Erm no experimental setup, nothing to fix. He doesn’t like the car so he has work to do. Merc as a team are missing lots of performance.

He’s right unnecessary issues like this must be annoying for him. More work for him to do on Sunday.

@afonic – I had the same thought. Vettel was a beast for RBR then came the hybrid era and it fell apart. Many occasions Vettel venting frustration and wanting the V8’s back. In this situation with Hamilton i […]

Jeez, if he is not confident in the car then he won’t perform to the best of his ability. That’s a given for any sports person. It was clearly obvious that George was comfortable in the car. We’ll see what happe […]

@david-br – I think that since they largely solved the porpoising problems they still needed to validate if the “concept” is still viable. If they were closer to Rbr in Bahrain 2023 then the “concept” would’v […]

@todfod – I did think of you briefly when watching Nando perform some delicious moves on Sunday. I actually want both Hamilton and Nando in similar performing cars to see more great driving, they drag it out of […]

@david-br – Rbr showed there car was performing pretty much everywhere. It will be a big ask I think for AMR to get to Rbr level, if they can fight Ferrari for 2nd that would be really something but AMR have an […]

They could be further behind next year and be the leading midfield team for this rounds regulations. George will love that…

Red bull are more cunning, direct competition on track isn’t enough (probably never was) to be champions.

@freelittlebirds – Do you think it would be unreasonable to allow the chasing pack to catch up by any means necessary? Or is that too harsh on the leaders for doing a better job…

@david-br – hit nail square on. Teams with the money are handcuffed unless of course they do an Rbr and go over. An entire season is a long time to wait. After Nando passed Hamilton and Sainz he was 10 seconds […]

Humble pie. Plan b was already cooking, maybe we’ll see it in Baku. I think there logic makes sense. They struggled with porpoising, they have that fixed and wanted to see if there concept was actually c […]

@stjs16 – I know… what can he do with this opportunity, if it lasts season long this could be very interesting.

Suspect b spec is in the wind tunnel. Nando looks good in the AMR. But this might be an exceptionally long road for the Aero team at MB. Goat Newey and his disciples march on. These new regs are doing ok, but it […]

Alonso being magnanimous… nahhh
