As you can see my friend !

Thank you, gentlemen. I don't want to hear a single excuse when Max Doesn't Win the WDC this year. Not. A. Single. One.

Well my friend , as you know that depends from Mercs W12 spaceship .
Sadly I didn't saw the Mercs warp-speed over the 3 days of testing in Bahrein...

Don't be worried my good friend . If the RB16B is fast enough ...
MAX will take HAM completely down ..

Throw MAX in a fast car . And no doubt he will be fast !

The latest and really interesting news !

Mercedes is trying to build in a hurry ( behind the curtains ) the same rear as the Red Bull RB16B !
And of course with the same rake as well !

What can this be ?

A Mercedes "RB16BW12" ?

And......BOOM !!!

100% expected move by fia, which you guys think are merc friends?
To change regulations and destabilize those with a specific rake and under body/floor design, and with the most planted rear end. Done intentionally to benefit rb and the others.

Very obvious move by merc to experiment, its not a flattery copying the rb better believe it lol!
Im positive they will get over it and adapt and win. LH doesnt spin like max and vet
Unless something is up

Indeed...as it has always been in F1.
The regulations have always been refined to try and diminish the advantage any particular team has developed. Be it Ferrari McLaren Williams Red Bull or Mercedes etc.
Reducing the rear floor area was chosen as it reduces the rear downforce which will be most especially disruptive on long wheel base cars such as the Mercedes...bad also for the Racing Point which showed a big improvement in the 2020 season having also moved to a lwb concept.

The "show" always comes first...any suggest of bias to one team or another (Ferraris veto notwithstanding) is just the usual fan boys whine.

Be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Red Bull have already copied the Mercedes rear suspension and Mercedes may have to run more rake...yet moving from a lwb low rake to a lwb with higher rake will not be without significant problems.
The first race can't come soon enough.

After a decade of Mercedes dominance by inventions like DAS , tire cooling , Party-mode , Magic-mode , ect...
Approved by the FIA ,and driving the rest of the field out of sight ..
Was that exciting to watch ? I don't think so...

Even before the race started we already knew who would win the race !
As I said : It's time for a change ....Hopefully with close fights in the front .
That's what people want to see...and boring races coming to an end .

[M5Rick]

^After seven years of dominance with a podgy ol fert passing everything for a team that would render the rest of the field to the doldrums, what is he still doing there.

Except of course, boring races would be great if it was Verstappen in the Red Bull (or a Mercedes) that was winning every race...in which case you would be wetting yourselves after every victory just as Bahrain last year.
Double standards much?
