But you are just using your own thoughts on Merc/Lewis and projecting them into this post.
You have no idea what Lewis said to his team, you have no idea what level of engineering Lewis has, you are just speculating to post something negative.
Didn’t Lewis publicly mention in interviews to copy the red bull?
You only have to have a quick search for that and you will see countless news articles for Hamilton urging Mercedes to copy RB design.
Not entirely sure which part you see as negative in that, but your welcome to your own opinion, just like I am/have.
I'm sure he is a bit more nuanced then to just go "copy redbull", I am absolutely sure he knows more about F1 car engineering then either of us, to just say that was his command and that he doesn't know how it works after being in f1 and racing for decades is a laughable.
I mean there has also been a lot of reporters other teams etc, that say it’s not as simple as copy and paste of a competitors design.
It wasn’t in any way meant negative about knowing what works. As we all know, it’s not a straight cut case of simply copying. Pink Mercedes for example.
If you copy a design, your immediately 6-12months behind the guy you copied
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.
