For me its still the suspension rule changes which caught them out. After all the fric tricks and such they havent got that back yet until they have a new rear suspension i thinkwesley123 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 18:42Seems weird that a flawed aero platform has thus far worked best at aero tracks.Chuckjr wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 18:28W13 is fundamentally flawed. It’s amazing to me experienced watchers of this sport don’t see it. I guess they will have to learn the hard way like Ferrari fans did back when the engine changes happened. Will be fun to watch this unfold with frustrated fans unwilling to accept the reality that turd pods are an engineering disaster. That car is an aero boat anchor, a pos, a garbage can on wheels.
Also the “It’s amazing to me experienced watchers of this sport don’t see it.” should tell you enough about your argument, really.
That’s the deal the got for allowing the original fuel cooling rules to be reinstated. Seems like a mighty nice one, especially for them with the engine issues they faced.
He was inside the lines, his first pole on a dry track this year, great!
Doesn’t matter anymore this year, just take a new one and find out if this one is still OK in the next Free Practice.
honestly imo it was more a battle of who made the fewest mistakes. i think ham wouldve been right up there had he not crashed. he was only 2 tenths down with yellow s1 when he crashed.

A very strange rule update. Now you can crash for free (no risk of having to start with a (potentially) damaged gearbox and can make others people lap impossible.
i think the new directive allows you to repair the car in PF as long as its like for like.chrisc90 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 19:10The cars are effectively in Parc Ferme now though?Sieper wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 19:04Doesn’t matter anymore this year, just take a new one and find out if this one is still OK in the next Free Practice.

Marko even said the Mercs might struggle more in Aus in the buildup, so yeah I think it will surprise a few.
Not the first time Ian has said this whenever Hamilton crashed or made a mistake. When called out he is quick to delete those tweets.
