Interesting.

I wish the FIA would ban MB from this season. Throw them out.

 

i wouls like to Perez to put elton on the wall with his engine broken...just to see elton fanboys and Toto cry....and because payback is a *****!

 

I would like to see Perez actually do something to help max. Anything

 

Don't be shy speak your mind

Tire wear, even the hardest compounds used this weekend, passing and kerb damage are going to be serious issues...

 

Apparently there are scuff marks on the back of the wings which shouldn’t be there in the normal course of business…

Don’t think the FIA are completely infallible. Remember it took a bunch of college students to catch VW which then became dieselgate.

 

See the following for an explanation

Just playing the da here…wouldn’t that part of the wing open with DRS? What I see is peeling carbon fibre…is that proof that a moving part is moving? There hasn’t been a protest thus far, just allegations and suspicions.

 

The way Hamilton passed one car after another in the small race and then in the real one was just not anything based on reality. That looked like a video game of a pro player against a bunch of AI driven cars.

MB claims the new engine is more powerful. I have a hard time believing that it is THAT much more powerful. Something stinks here and an altered DRS wing would make perfect sense, especially on a track like Sao Paulo.

PS: Just for the record I am a Hamilton fan and realize he is one of the best on this grid and of all times, but the way he sliced through two entire fields is just not something that happens normally (rain situations not withstanding).

 

I respect your post.

 

They delivered a stack of papers of evidence in Brazil. How do you know that those papers do not contain proof?

 

Wolff comment about the markings on the wing at the presser with Horner: "I think it's within what is allowed."

I read this as saying there’s probably no static test on the trailing edge of the main plane so it probably deflects (beyond what the intent of the rules are) but it doesn’t fail any current test.

Some will say that there is no such thing as the intent or spirit of the rules; only the rules. In the case of Ferrari in 2019, though they couldn’t prove anything, they nevertheless added sensors and what not to try to figure out what was up. Based on this, FIA should at least—of their own initiative—instrument the wing trailing edge and institute a test, or tests, to close that loophole.

 

Did anyone else notice that despite Mercedes could be cheating within the rules, Skysport are more focused on Verstappen pushing Lewis off the track?

We get it, it was pretty much a dirty move, probably deserving of a penalty, but no harm no foul, they kept racing, Lewis got the pass and the win. Move on. If they want to tell Toto that he is an embarrassment for even asking for a review after the race is over, then do that once and move on.

 

Given that the FIA had zero interest in moving the already existing sensor to a different part of Merc's airbox for a more accurate reading to see if they're cooling the intake temperature outside of allowed temperatures, I have very, very low hope of them actually doing anything on their rear wing.

 

+1

Not just Sky. Look at all the headlines on Autosport.

When HAM took out Max at Silverstone, all they talked or wrote about was whether or not HAM even deserved a penalty, how the 5 or however many seconds penalty he was handed was warranted yet nothing about Max being taken to hospital and his car destroyed. The only guy going against the tide was Button—who, probably because he was a teammate knows HAM’s real character—who pointed out how HAM’s move was over ambitious and how he missed the bloody apex in his haste to pull a stupid move.

 

British pres focuses on Ham, a British driver. Not a huge surprise is it?

I think we all need to move on. The Merc rear wing topic definitely needs settling.

 

Like I said before zero respect for any sporting code from Mercedes

 

That's just the way the Mercedes Bends.

 

Qatar looks really nice ...NOT. Finishing the season /WDC at these soul less nondescript circuits.Ugh

 

Post your proof lol. Its RedBull who was caught earlier this year and had to redesign their new wing and FIA had issue new tests. So...have another drink.
