Mercedes is all class lately. Lewis blaming the team in his post race interview. Toto blaming Bottas for an equipment failure. I hope that one specifically is just a sign of what is to come next year. Bottas out, Russel in.

Yeah Lewis came across as a real cunt in that interview.

Everyone says Lewis is just the greatest guy, and I don't believe a word of it. I bet behind the scenes he is a very different person.

Agreed. The others in the pit crew got their wheels off no problem. It seems Toto just doesn't like Bottas and making up excuses to possibly fill his seat for next year lol.

Toto throwing Bottas under the bus and all the other drama queen stuff is mega annoying. Most of the teams/drivers come off as spoiled brats. Just my observation from the past couple years in comparison to virtually any other athlete or 'team' out there.

I don't know who "everyone" is? It's definitely not politically palatable to say anything negative about a black even if it's true. But the guy sports a BLM face mask, and makes instagram posts from his fucking yacht telling everyone how they need to take climate change seriously. He is as hypocritically cunty as they come.

Did you even read the article or just the clickbait headline?

As recently as the Monaco Grand Prix, Horner said Cowell was not going to Red Bull, while Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said his regular chats with Cowell had not given any hints either that he was interested in Red Bull.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of media traction on these topics and with personnel joining obviously this new venture,” Horner told reporters.

“But I can say I was surprised to read a story this morning that apparently Andy had agreed to join us because that isn’t the case.”

“It would be a great surprise,” Wolff responded.

“Because it would mean it’s different to what we have discussed. But there’s nothing stopping him from taking any decision, whether he continues on his entrepreneurial journey or returns to Formula 1 in a different role.

“I speak to Andy every week about different things and for me it doesn’t seem he’s going to Red Bull. But in this sport, we’ve seen many black swans, so at the moment what I think? He’s not going there.”

That is why I said 'If this report is True "

I hope whatever happened with Merc today in both practices was sandbagging. But for some reason I don't have a good feeling about it. All I want is one more championship for Lewis and it's starting to look increasingly difficult.

Why do you want that?

I want to see if he's matured to be "Sir Lewis" or whether he'll just throw childish tantrums like he did in Monaco.

I am curious why Mercedes' performance has decreased though. Was there some secret technical directive/agreement that has caused them the performance hit?

Aero rules hitting low rake cars harder (merc and AMs clone), and the new tires doesn’t heat up fast enough for Mercs. Merc was already using DAS last year to help get temps up on the outlap and with no DAS and harder tires, warmup has been particularly difficult. The trade off on tires is better tire life and race pace, but position is just as important when passing is mostly difficult.

At the end of the day, if they can pass in race on track or on strategy, it’ll make shit way more exciting.

ya, Hamilton losing is way more entertaining than Hamilton winning.

If Hamilton doesn't win, it'll always be Max. There's no difference.

Just don't understand why people have so much hate against Ham. Regardless of the kind of person he sometimes can be (has been maturing and growing a lot) his skills are up there and he's definitely had to earn his way to where he got not having much family money/resources like most of the other guys that make it.

I haven't watched a Baku race before so what's to expect here? Seems like there's a lot of spinouts and hard corners.

Safety cars, brake checking and ramming opponents during safety car. Good entertainment.

Two straights with DRS zones should be good for some passes.

Yea, I knew about the aero rules but Merc looked fine in the first 4 races. I guess the street circuits are a little different for tire strategy though.

I agree this season has been more exciting - I would like to see AM more competitive in the mid-pack though.
