And is there any one of us who believes that MB management wouldn't just love to crow about a 'German' driver winning the WDC in a 'German' car?
It's not just 2 engines. It is 8.

All of the AMG runners with the exception of HAM have had amazing reliability. This is simply an embarrassment now. There is no way, statistically, that in a cohort of 8 drivers running the same engine one set of engines has such a high rate of reliability.

This is Mercedes freaking Benz forgawdsake. They ran 1. 1 Engine for preseason testing. DEAD RELIABLE. Now this?

They are becoming the Hillary Clinton of Motor Racing. Ignore all of the evidence in front of you. Listen to what we say.

These are not the 'droids you're looking for.
