2023 Mercedes-AMG | Petronas F1 Team

[AR3-GP]

That was absolutely disgusting.

[maygun]

What in the ever loving lord was that?

An Alpha Tauri put 3s to Hamilton 1 one lap, in the shortest circuit in the calendar.

I’ve been waiting for this race the whole year after realizing Red Bull’s advantage at the start of the season as it seemed the only place where we can win!

Probably no reason to watch tomorrow's race! Unbelievable…

[Luscion]

if i were Merc i'd start from the pitlane to be able to change the setup, hell, even take a new engine. With that race pace their going to tumble down the order a lot tomorrow

[ambientnoiz]

Maybe they should break parc ferme and fix the problem…? Or is that not worth it?

they got passed by an alphatauri which then pulled out of drs range in two corners, they would be crazy not to break parc ferme imo

2 stop race...bank on a safety car. Maybe

Theyre gonna need a 52 lap safety car lol. they were what, two seconds off the pace in 10 laps? thats horrible

This circuit really is Merc's last chance to get a win. Vegas and AD will not be kind to them.

[Bill_Kar]

There is actually zero chance now to win any race for this year. Car is atrocious here

[Sieper]

Maybe Vegas. Not tomorrow, way to low topspeed and too much deg. Abu-Dhabi also seems very unlikely indeed. I too expected them to be good here.

Corrected for you.


Scary how much those Merc tyres dropped off in such a short period

[Bill_Kar]

Why would you place any hope to Vegas? The car is draggy by design, even if it defaults to its usual state (because I refuse to consider Interlagos to be the normal marker) we are still way behind RB/Ferrari and McLaren now in this department.

[Sieper]

Because they went well at Singapore. And because nobody knows really about Vegas yet. I expected Mercedes to be there here, but indeed, probably not at the other races.

[Luscion]

Isn't Vegas more akin to Monza with the long straights? I thought everyone would be going as low downforce as possible with the wings? Either way Merc are going to get eaten alive
