It appears Mercedes are in chaos with Wolff's orders to his drivers not to collide with each other going in one ear and out the other with one particular driver.
Wolff stuck in Monaco recovering from an operation may be rueing having told 'subservient' Bottas to leave the team. https://racingnews365.com/wolff-must...ussell-tension *Just to add that both drivers were blaming each other for the collision and in the end Hamilton accepted blame after watching a replay. What's particularly creamy is that Mercedes' replacement manager for the weekend praised Hamilton for his truthfulness. Last edited by M5Rick; 10-10-2023 at 05:39 AM.. |

I take with a pinch of salt what some of the drivers say publicly sometimes in the heat of the moment but must say Ocon's quip that he'd rather die or be killed than retire from a race is a new one on me.

Could have been a double DNF ŕ la Barcelona/Spain 2016 (where both Hamilton and Rosberg were subsequently grilled by a furious duo in charge of Mercedes F1: Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda). Wondering whether Hamilton received a heated long-distance phone-call from Toto Wolff once he had returned to the pit lane. Hamilton once he DNF'd: taking no blame Hamilton afterwards (replying that he hadn't seen the footage yet of the incident): taking the blame Later:

I don't even understand the soft tire call. Even if he pulled the move off, those tires were lasting maybe 6 laps. He would then have been released from pits down the field into a lot of traffic, that were all running longer on mediums. He would have lost loads of time and positions.

The Qatar race was a golden chance for Mercedes: starting P2 and P3 + Perez required to start from the pit lane + Sainz not starting. That chance was already squandered in Turn 1 of Lap 1. Toto Wolff must have gone ballistic while watching in Monaco (unlikely that he kicked his TV as he's currently recovering from knee surgery).

2- More traction means faster in the first straight and more grip in T1. 1&2 = Win positions in the first lap , and then "elbows wide" to the first (mandatory)! pitstop for new mediums . But LEW didn't make it that far with his dive-bomb in self-destruct mode , it was 100% his own beginners mistake .. LEW and his 2021 brake-magic button mistake was even worse ! Because he actually lost The '21 World Title in the Azerbaijan GP by a button ...

But keep an eye on rookie Oscar Piastri. I said it before and say it again: super talent. I expect many Verstappen-Piastri on-track battles in the future. August 2022 post:

Bad news for McLaren & Merc in that Horner has warned there is more to come from RBR in '24 when the new RB 20 debuts in March and that is where the teams focus is on now, it was noticeable with McLaren moving up closer to the leading RB in hot as an oven Qatar.
What's happening at Ferrari is anyone's guess but with their noticeable drop in performance with the 55 car breaking down before the start it would appear to be the case also. https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/10...4-improvement/ |

Yeah, Piastri is the new hot thing. Hopefully McLaren already ditched the 2023 car and are working on 2024. |
