Can’t believe this team can’t build a low downforce rear wing…

Even Red Bull has a one even though they are already way too fast on the straights! Not to mention their reduced development time…

RB have mostly reused their 2022 low downforce wing. I think Mercedes aren't a fan of their 2022 low downforce wing that was first brought at Miami and that is still costing them in terms of having more RWs available

They did I believe!

In AD practice FP1 if I recall ?

Slower than Mclaren in Q2 #-o

Could it be that Merc is really missing the FP's now to dial in the car?
Still fricking slow in a straight line it seems :roll:

We really need some Lewis magic to get this car 5th-7th in Q3

Would've been slower than Williams too if not for Sainz. Slowest Merc engined team.

Still carrying a huge amount of drag on this car. I suspect the lack of fp sessions will hurt Mercedes. On a good day this car is difficult to setup...so let's hope for an eventful race so they can gain places by others making mistakes.

Merc built another dog, as simple as that

Is the sf-23 coming alive? Funny Merc advertising their updates: complete failure. FErrari keeps quiet, almost as fast as rbr :lol:

All that false hope expressed after Australia, but same again.

That concept is definitely finished.
