    I'm f***ing done with Mercedes bullshit btw

    First they're changing the engine in Brazil because "reliability and degradation concerns", Lewis is annihilating the field, Toto Wolff says that engine will be used for the end of season

    Then Qatar, they're using the old pre-Brazil engine again, Lewis s***s on everyone in quali with -0.5 delta, maintains a comfortable lead throughout the race, Toto Wolff says they will be using the "rocketship" engine again in Saudi

    The amount of CAP Toto Wolff been saying throughout the season is f***ing off the charts

    So according to Mercedes @ Brazil, old engine was lacking reliability and they changed it because they can't risk but apparently it was pretty much alright to run it at Qatar lol. That "performance degradation" part is also questionable seeing how the car was still absolutely competitive in Qatar.
    Mercedes just keeps playing these games while being whiny as f*** throughout the season despite them moving on some fishy s***.

  • Nov 22, 2021

    But still the funniest s*** for me is how Mercedes did all those loud af protests about RB's rear wing, but them having flexible front aero and flexible rear lower wing plate is just ok 🤡🤡

    Opinion on Horner and Marko calling volunteer Marshall’s incompetent?

    Ehh ngl i didn't pay much attention to what exactly was said by Horner but from what i've seen, Marko words weren't really aimed at marshalls but rather at the race direction handing out the penalties

    Anyway, i'd say Horner just said some really unnecessary hot-headed s*** because his driver got the penalty that can be crucial for the championship battle. But i mean, rules are rules, s*** like this just may happen.

    Btw Pirelli keeps being a questionable tire supplier to say the least

    I don't know what the f*** they are doing but they were supposed to provide harder but more durable tires for this season

    Then Baku happened and now this complete disaster in Qatar
    How tf 4 drivers catch tire blowouts without even seeing any signs of potential tire failure?

    Bad curbs in Qatar. Better questions is why not enforce proper track limits

    I guess not curbs alone though (they did more damage to aero/underbodies this weekend), track is full of high-speed high-downforce corners so combined with more abrasive surface the tire wear is naturally excessive here. Still, wear is one thing, but it's a Pirelli's job to make sure that tires don't just straight pop like that, it's a safety thing after all.

    Track limits been a hot topic throughout the whole season tbh, my take on this is that in the end of day the only track limits that drivers will 100% respect are the physical ones that either damage your car or slow your down

    Bottom line is these teams are going to be dramatic, downplay, say whatever.

    The best part is that they can settle this all on the circuit and as long as it’s within regulations it is all fair play. So I don’t really put much stock in to anything the teams say, to me it’s just entertainment there.
