He's got a point, after all last time the regulations changed Mercedes had a big advantage in the early races of 2014 and that vanished in...

 

*checks notes*

 

Oh.

 

Random Competitive Cautions to bunch up the pack that Mercedes strategy has no chance to respond to.

That’s what the “race” director job is there for, Dudley. You start doing anything that management doesn’t like, and they insert some additional zombies.

 

He just retired though.  Although given his replacement is Bottas...

I'm starting to think that Hamiltons continued radio silence is either a sign he's going to walk away and never darken the paddock doorway again. Or he is currently sitting in a dark room evolving into his final incarnation of the greatest F1 driver ever. And that he will arrive in a blinding light over Barcelona to smite the evil FIA and take back what is rightfully his.

A friend sent me this and I’ve watched it 3 times already.

One of those times where you think I could do better than that. You couldn’t, not even close but bloody hell is that poor. I can imagine him asking Toto why he’s not getting another year and Toto silently handing him his phone with this already playing.

Christmas break, time away to clear heads and come back in March.  I’d of thought he’d want at least one year of the new car to see what it’s like. 

[Loik V credern]

That's more funny than I expected it to be. (the video) 

[jonamok]

It really is. Was lolling by the last couple.

[GwiDan]

That video was Russell’s pitch to Toto instead of a PowerPoint this year.

On a social media break, apparently.

Good move.  Especially now no-one in day to day operations F1 gets much of a break. When you do, take one properly.

 

I don't think I'd read anything much into it.

Conceeds a place at every single corner, and then only not at the chicane as it's one car wide. Penis.

[Dudley]

The problem he's got is there's a lot more wheel to wheel racing in the midfield than there ever was at Mercedes. He'll be doing this every race but with a Sauber under him.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, this all looks perfectly normal to me. </mnrc>

Apparently not the real car, just the generic example car.

[Dudley]

To be fair that's usually basically also true of the one they launch.

New Year - New thread!

 

 

[mexos]

Goodbye sweet thread. 🥲

[Dudley]

Well except the first 5 pages which will be allowed to unlap themselves into the 2022 thread.
