It takes a few seconds to have a look at Merc's social media channels to see that they had a large number of posts celebrating the podium and the posts for each driver's finishing position have a separate one for George (twitter link) and one for Lewis (twitter link) which still mentions that George was on the Podium - so if anything then it was rather the opposite to what was implied in the one of the posts above.
Hmmm...Have there been any points given for that or were they given after the race?siskue2005 wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 14:01Hmmm.. you must have missed the part where Lewis was ahead in the first stint when George was slower and around 7 sec behind Lewis before the safety car came.proteus wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 11:09Lewis lawyers on the work right away. Neither you or me know what exactly happened on that track. Only Lewis, George and Mercedes know. The fact of the matter however is that George finished ahead and is ahead in the standings. And the rest is pure speculation.Mchamilton wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 10:14
How did george drive a better race exactly? He was behind the whole time untill the SC helped him out. Lewis was managing tyres befote the sc, hence why he pulled the gap on george to over 2 seconds when he decided to. Then after the SC again lewis manages tyre while George fights perez for no real reason. The lewis closes to 1 second behind george untill he apparently has engine temp issue, though i think secretly the team told him to hold position, hence his comment.
In the same way we can all agree that 'the fact of the matter however is that' Perez is (checks standings) 20% faster than Verstappen and that Leclerc is nearly two-and-a-half times the driver that Sainz is. Now that these inalienable truths have been stated, what other searing factual insights can you share about the teams?
And what does Verstappen have to do with the Mercedes thread? If there is any salty tears for Max, thye wont be shed inside this thread!silver wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 15:58Some people here are so salty and haven't moved on from hating Verstappen, while Hamilton seems to have moved on. The forum is being spoiled by such rubbish posters here. 2022 is promising to be another good season, but some people are just sore here. Some if not showing outright hate, are piggy backing on Leclerc's success to demean Verstappen's talent. Guys, stop being silly and enjoy a good show.

Good luck with the mods. There is a certain "factor" to their actions. Max fans having a go at Mercedes is well within their "factor" allowances.
