Jeez..."party mode" was the strat mode for maximum power and maximum battery depletion. It was only for use in single lap qualifying and overtaking not the whole race due the high engine stress loads and poor use of the battery power for race use.
Do you never pay attention to anything.

You stop being silly.W11's top speed is around 15 kph faster and their re-charging/re-generate is more advanced and lasts longer than the others because of their longer hybrid build programme.

Really 15 kms faster you say...and again with the lie about Mercedes being given advance notice by the FIA about upcoming engine hybrid regs.
Its a pretty crappy person who makes stuff like that up with zero proof.

You may as well be talking to a brick wall. You can’t reason with someone who makes up their own stats and believes it.

The next thing we will hear, I suspect, is that Mercedes has micro-transporters to move the car up the track in an unseen manner. This gives them the better lap time even though the speeds posted above are lower in many of the traps.

Mercedes AMG EQ Power with Micro-transporter circuitry. This is the secret.


It's as plausible as any theory certain people have put forth!!

I bought my micro-transporters on amazon.com and use them to control my lawn tractor, whilst sipping a micro-brew from my viewing chair.

Next sunday , a new GOAT will be made by the Merc W11 !

No wait ! It's not the car ...It's the driver !!!

Speed trap my A$$ . MAX floored the RB16 . And HAM pulled away from him like he was standing still !
MAX's F* right race shoe was damaged by pushing with brute force on his gas pedal ..But the W11 disappeared out of sight anyway .
MAX was faster in one sector . In all the other sectors , the Merc was faster .

Yeah the Mercs run with the handbrake pulled . That's why they win ALL the races !

The million $ question is :
Will Russell "really" get the chance to run with HAM's (veritable) car and power software ?
Or just a Merc W11 with a stickered '44' on it ?

Sometimes...Speculations become reality !

Max speeds on the straights may have been lower since Hamilton was never/rarely behind anyone using DRS, especially later on when they all get spread out and fuel/weight is reduced

I think that HAM is badgering Wolff on the phone constantly not to give RUS his personal software while he is quarantining and I guess he won't..RUS will be wondering why he can't catch BOT heheh
