Tbh, it's looking a lot better that what I thought. If they are hiding more power in hand then that's good. The car is still behind but we are not miles away.

What's going on with the PU?

Huge concerns over reliability that was evident last year?

What a dog of a PU, not a single other Merc powered team in Q3...

What's that? One second off the pace...

It is really painful to see MB struggling... Not sure if it is chassis or PU

7 tenths, worrying

It's not that bad considering the compromises they had to do in order to avoid the bouncing.
Also they had only 1 new set which didn't help.

I am surprised as well. I am eating my words. Was wrong about them hiding their cards.

Wazari mentioned in the Honda thread rumors one of the engine manufactures was struggling with the transition to the E10 fuel. I assumed Renault/Alpine but wonder if it may have been Mercedes?

Looking at the top speeds and the fact that all the Mercedes powered customer cars are out of Q3, it's evident.

I'd say both. The PU worries me a lot, though, I believe it's frozen.

Trust Mercedes to mess it up during an engine freeze.

I didn't see any issues with top speed.. they lost all their time in sector 2..and they are on par with Ferrari in s1 and s3
