Mercedes Engine Degredation
Is this all BS? Surely Merc wouldn't build an engine that looses such a noticeable amount of power between races in a formula with a such a tight limit on engines. Was the new engine = more power Mercedes propaganda to cover up what they were doing with their rear wing? Is anyone else starting to th...

Re: 2021 British Grand Prix FP & Sprint Qualy/Race Thread
With a new format comes new opportunities that we might not have thought of... I can't think of any I think it will be: 1) Qualify well 2) Hold position in the sprint race after trying to move up a few positions in the first 3 corners 3) Race as usual in the actual race. I'm sure the strategists wil...

Re: 2020 WDC - When will it happen.
In the next race, if Verstappen is third and Hamilton first then a fastest lap by Verstappen will decide if he stays in the hunt for the WDC or not.

2020 WDC - When will it happen.
I couldn't find the numbers anywhere so I worked them out. Hamilton Needs: 2 Wins, 1 Second Place, 3 Fastest laps Bottas would also need to come atleast second twice and win one race and it would be over in Turkey. At worst he needs to finish 3rd in 5 races and 4th in one, with one fastest lap. If B...

Out of interest what strategy could you use to benefit from a lap 1 safety car?
Possibly do Q2 on the softest tyre available then hope to switch to the hardest on the first lap for a 1 stopper?

I doubt this would even be a thread if Hamilton had just done a Button in the interview "The car was all over the place, I had no grip on these tyres" Just an off race, considering what he is driving he's doing alright. When he has the motivation of a good car and a new championship, he'll come back.
