Although Lewis has 2 running PU to serve him at the moment, I hope Mercedes take the new PU for him.

So if he qualify still ahead of CL, he will start 3rd last.  Then CL 2nd last and because of MV's penalty, he will start dead last.

This way it makes the penalty valid.  No point for Lewis to struggle to keep his pace with VB because VB is running new PU.

Meanwhile, FP3 cancelled due to weather I think.  If qualify does not take place M.Massi said to take FP2 result as final position for the race wink.gif

Lewis hit the wall... Twice... LoL

Drama all year long... Still inter lap good enough for P4.

It seems like not much response here when neither RBR and Mercedes are in top 3.

The slicks need a few laps to heat them up that's why thoae who switched first were the quickests as they managed to get more laps to build up the heat.

Isn't this the first time the top 3 grid are all younger generation drivers?

Edited:

The slick only works in sector 2 and 3.... But it was enough to overcome the deficit in first sector.

I think he'll lose places if not pit. CL is faster on the fresh tyres.

Lewis is losing 1sec a lap to Perez but I think it's a bad call too. He could have ended 4th or 5th even if he stayed out but would have avoided a bad situation with Gasly. If Merc think it will rain again, then the call make sense but driver is still saying it's fine.

Inter tyres takes longer to heat up.

Merc rely on their computer cost lewis again.

LoL

Are you listening to the radio and commentators? Lewis is saying he had graining and commentator also mentioned the same thing.

I think Mercedes made the safe choice as they want to cover Gasly and rain started coming again

Impossible it's going to rain again when the dry line already starting to appear.

Meanwhile, RBR is so so scare of Mercedes.  That even VB could comfortably held off MV in Turkish GP.

A pity that I am not going to be able to watch the next 3 GP.

This season Mercedes is so un-Mercedes tradition. Previous years they always hype about their competitor, downplayed their own cars. This year Toto and the team keep saying they are good, competitive etc...

I think it is all down to engine modes. Mercedes cant use party mode anymore. It is either on for whole gp or off. I guess they had been experimenting with a higher output mode with Bottas to figure out the wear n tear.

FIA has been trying ways to slow Mercedes for so many years.  This year they successfully done it, or at least helped RBR move up the order.

Are you sure they had done it? I don't think Mercedes has slow down, but rather others had catched up a little bit with their high rake design. Mercedes sticking with low rake and beating you is a statement.

Now Mercedes got ride height adjustment like MotoGP's holeshot device 6UE5T

Last year got DAS, this year silently implement Ride Height adjustment, they are creative

Suspension moved up and down when car accelerate and showing down is pretty normal. Definitely needs to check if claims is true. If anything, I would rather suspect bendy wings somewhere.

This track is so much better than those classic F1 tracks. Wide and cars can take different lines. Just watched replay and Lewis drove well. Undone by strategy though...

Tried to watch race highlights but the video cuts here and there. Can't even see why it's Lewis vs Max into first corner.

Next race if 1am, might stay up to watch for a while. After all, it's Brazil. Hope it rains...

Yeah Honda has come a long way from the GP2 engine comment from Alonso. They really gel with RB unlike the toxic relationship with McLaren and Alonso.

Anyway uphill battle for LH, he can still realistically finish 2nd but will need luck to win this race now.

I dont think Honda is beating Mercedes with their engines, it just showed how good RBR cars were this season. They were in the sweet spot. In comparison, everyone knew Mercedes is basically just winning on engines plus the best aero amongst Mercedes powered cars for the past few years. They were not known for having the best aero, judging by how their cars were destroying their tires when race day temp got out of control.

Lewis should stay 6th, demote 5 places, race from 11th, clean side, and also get to choose tyres (I assume he can change tyres but who knows)

Bottas did a brilliant job overtaking Max and finished in front of him.

Lewis mega recovery drive.... holy cow.... if there's refuelling, I think Mercedes will destroy everyone...mega pace overtaking 16cars in 24 laps...
