Re: Mercedes v Ferrari v Red Bull - 2018 edition

Re: Mercedes v Ferrari v Red Bull - 2018 edition
Time for some conspiracy theories again, 2021 rules set, Merc again a sec/lap faster than anyone else, even secured some "special" tyres for some races... : ) Did they just show their real pace for 2018?

Re: Mercedes v Ferrari v Red Bull - 2018 edition
Seems the different is that Merc have lost speed, not that Ferrari have gained so much. An easy theory is obviously the end of oil additivies, Merc could hide any tire issues with the huge PU advantage they've had. Still in this race IMO it's advantage Merc with 2 cars behind the Ferrari and able to...

Re: Mercedes v Ferrari v Red Bull - 2018 edition
Yes they are clearly quicker as the article itself confirms. It's not a massive gap. It's a gap that certainly allows Mercedes to fight for the championships. In fact, much like the end of last year, the race pace between the top three teams is very closely matched. There's not much in it at all bu...
