How long have Merc been in F1, ask yourself how many times has it happened before, I know what I think and agree with you, also with the slow puncture, pressures can be adjusted from the pit wall

Yeah those barsards at Mercedes sabotaging Russells drive...makes perfect sense to put Russell in the car rather than the reserve driver and then make sure he didn't win.
Same as Red Bull when they messed up Ricciardos pit stop at Monaco so he didn't win or Verstappens pit stop at Turkey or bla bla bla bla.
Do you morons never give it a rest?

LOL at this whole thread.

Why wouldn’t Merc replace a multiple world champion in his prime? He did win multiple times more races than second place person, no?

[QUOTE=SenorFunkyPants;27103824]Lol at beating DR.
*DR has jumped ship more than I've had hot dinners. If he was as good at RB as you profess then why did he leave, because his pit stop at Monaco went wrong?
He left what is now Alpine without doing his homework, the Renault engine is showing good results on the graphs and so far McLaren hype is all guesswork and speculation just because it's getting a no 2 Merc engine, well..blow me over.

DR was the better driver when paired with MV.
Thats the only relevant point.
Red Bull always prioritise one driver over the other.
When Ricciardo realised that wasn't going to be him, he knew he had to leave.

You must understand that with the other things having 1022 hp was a sizeable advantage my friend, there's an old American saying..'there's no substitute for cubes' or in this case horses.
So, roll on Bahrain and we'll see how good the Merc 11B is with or without HAM
The saying is "There's no replacement for displacement"

At first I thought it 'was' a ski slope brrr it looks really cold there.
Over here it's warmed up some, we had a smattering of snow one morning which melted away after a few hours but of course the rain is now on it's way
