So why are the Mercs here slower compared with last year, getting rid of the zero pod seems to be a double edged sword against them with the long learning curve with the full pods now relegating them to 'still learning' status , what a mess they are in

The FIA has put the 'cheating Mercedes floor back in the closet at COTA

That's why LEW was disqualified !
Think that's the Mercedes mess at this moment ..

Wolff yesterday : We are desperate ! We are beaten by an AlphaTauri in the sprintrace...'

I think everyone gets the point that racing is getting boring these days. Reminds me of when HAM dominated for so many years. I stepped away a bit then. Was keeping me interested now is everything that happens behind Max.

But inverted grids are just a bad idea.

More performance parity between the teams would be great. Come up with a plan to make that happen. Maybe lower budget caps?

FORMATION LAP !!!

What ?!?! Charlie in the wall in the formation lap !!!

GuidoK · 11-05-2023, 11:02 AM

WTF LEC!!!!

I know it happens in formation laps, heating up the tyres and making that little mistake,
but ferrari is in such a battle right now.

Edit, hydraulics problem?!?

ALB crash with MAG

GuidoK · 11-05-2023, 11:06 AM

Great start for Max, NOR and HAM.
But safety car.....

Fliplegend · 11-05-2023, 11:08 AM

MAG tags PIA and he got a broken wing now but they’ve got time.

GuidoK · 11-05-2023, 11:08 AM

Red flag.
RIC also has damage...

Ricciardo joins warm-up (formation lap), but then must start from the box

GuidoK · 11-05-2023, 11:27 AM

I think NOR might take some chances at the start.
This is his best chance at winning a GP
I hope it doesn't end in a crash.

MAX's clutch is fine-tuned !

///M Power-Belgium · 11-05-2023, 11:35 AM

ALO = P3 !

Max starts are indeed a lot better than before. (since mexico I think)
Before they were okayish, but now they're very very fast.
Whatever they did, it worked

GuidoK · 11-05-2023, 11:42 AM

I think NOR already cooked his tyres and brakes in those few laps that he tried to attack VER.

ALO really spared his tyres and that can cost NOR a position...
