Good job mate !

Probably you don't want to see a close battle : Merc vs Merc is really exciting

Fact : If we want to see an exciting race , we can only hope that the Mercs blown their tyres in the first half of the race...

yeah Merc' is in another level so far but it can change in following races mate.. and except Merc's grid is pretty tight and tomorrows grid is a bit different that i hope there wont be a crash in first 1-2 laps.. at least Lewis and Albon wont be that close at the start..

No way mate .That won't change in this season . 1.2/1.5 sec. is a sea of time in F1 terms.
I heard Merc is still playing it safe . For the moment they run with 1020 ponies during the race . The Mercs Party-Mode is an even higher level with probably 150 more ponies during the QF sessions .
If they wish ,they can pull the Merc engine even wider open ...
Ralf Schumacher got inside information and said : The Mercs run on 80% of their maximum capacity...

Amen !

The start should be interesting and if Hulk has lightning start and gets between the Vaders it should be thrilling.. they can't use 100% power starting

[QUOTE=yco;26540457]i dont know about that my friend probably efficiency is much higher than other teams but please tell me how come other teams cant catch up or past Merc' in this 7 years of turbo hybrid era?



The turbo hybrid era was only introduced through pressure on road vehicle manufacturers by the governments and F1A for some strange reason followed the pied piper through political correctness
Merc somehow knew the way it was going way before the others did,with Schumacher joining then, was it 2 years tech lead? another unfair advantage.

well regs will change in 2022 again my friend.. if start developing earlier is an unfair advantage other teams must already started working on new reg'ged cars.. but im sure again Merc' is pushing more on new regs than other teams again now.. if budget is the problem, Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull they dont have financial problems at all.. they have the resources as well.. but im not sure Merc' will fall behind in '22.. cause they re always pushing.. and as you know when the teams inner motivation trend is high you build up even more by time..

RB should seriously consider signing Seb asap. His market value is still huge. Get him out of the Ferrari misery. Max-Seb would make a great pairing.
Albon is getting destroyed by Max and we all know how it's gonna end.

Merc copy trouble.

Teams are appealing RP verdict as they are not happy with Merc's actions in passing on restricted designs to RP in 'some way' other than tracing paper etc.
If appeal successful then Merc may be in serious trouble.

SEB has already made his decision, but still has to negotiate.
Which team it is remains a mystery....

Other teams are being little babies tbh. RP had the blue prints in 2019 but the regulations changed in 2020. They can't just "unlearn" the information passed from Mercedes. And of all the teams protesting, the one that really pissed me off was Ferrari. Ferrari have huge capabilities and yet they couldn't come up with a decent car since 2018. All the teams realized that adopting the pointed nose philosophy is better aerodynamically (although heavier) but Ferrari are still stuck with their shit design and they're taking down Haas with them.

i dont think RP problem will involve Merc' my friend..
photographic softwares are really advanced creating 3d modeling based on pics is not something new.. recently its even crazier part of my job involves this.. i really dont think so Merc' d just give all the designs etc to RP.. its d be a clear violation of the rules and Merc' have no reason to do it.. money? no.. need more trained mind resources? no.. RP's leader so charming that can trick Merc? no..

i believe worst case scenario is disqualification of RP or no cons. points for them this season only drivers.. but i believe in the end we ll have more detailed rules of the car designs but one way or another "inspiration" is not avoidable.. maybe clearer boundaries can be set.. but still copying something cant make you better than the car you copied only you can be good as that car.. thats why no reason for big teams to do it..

look at these 2 cars for example..



heavily inspired.. is it wrong for a small team.. i dont think so.. back in days Minardi was trying new things and their car sucked esthetically and performance wise.. closer grid d be a nice thing.. did Haas was better than Ferrari back 2018-19.. no.. like this..

but with RP problem is bigger because almost all teams suck this year.. clearly suck.. 1 seconds behind on quali is ridiculous.. when RP is faster than almost all the grid problem started for other teams.. besides when you let a team to buy suspension elements brake discs etc. there is not much other options to design a car differently you take the right path to evolve the elements around those parts you import..

New rule just in force by Masi..you can't win a GP by coming into pit lane on last lap like HAM could have done at one time. I remember M.Schumacher won a race once doing this.
You must be on the actual track to win a race.
