    Aston Martin’s engineers are telepathic. News and simultaneous novelties at Mercedes and Aston Martin today?

    Amazing coincidences!

    Surely Mercedes feeding them information isn't legal.

    Essentially what's happening is they're getting double the data than anyone else. It's like Alpha tauri running a near clone car of the Red Bull, or Alfa running a near clone car of Ferrari, and they're getting the same updates that the ''big boy team'' is getting...in a testing session where only 1 car is allowed.

    At least our car is reliable.
    Vmax is back too.
    I’m still hoping for two victories this year.

    Bottas: Mercedes W12 F1 has "snappy and unforgiving" rear end
    By: Luke Smith
    Mar 14, 2021, 4:24 AM
    Valtteri Bottas says the rear end of Mercedes’ new Formula 1 car for 2021 is proving to be “quite snappy and unforgiving” through pre-season testing in Bahrain.

    https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/bottas-mercedes-w12-f1-has-snappy-and-unforgiving-rear-end-/5723366/

    Bottas said that although windy conditions in Bahrain were not making things easy in the car, he could notice the rear end of the W12 was tricky to control at times.

    “It's a bit more windy conditions than we've had normally at the race,” Bottas said.

    “But still, I would say one of the big issues with the car is the rear end. It’s quite snappy and it's quite unforgiving.

    “That topped up with the new tyres, that they feel quite sensitive to the sliding, it's not that easy.

    “We are kind of trying to calm the car down a bit and that way trying to get some more pace.”

    Lewis is desperately trying to convince anyone with ears that Red Bull, Mclaren and Alpine are serious contenders.

    Lol
