Silverstone has always suited Mercedes in recent years. Cold temperatures have also helped.

Real test will be at upcoming tracks like Hungary and Spa.

What did i say about Hamilton being outqualified again...... I was ahead of the curve again. Russell's got Lewis's number this year especially in qualy. This is why Merc let him go because Lewis has lost it over qualy pace. Understandable because of age. Great performance.
Russell had outqualified him 9 times out of 11 when you made that prediction, more like behind the curve lol.

Btw, Lewis is still very quick. However, he has a very quick team mate as well. Russel was always excellent in qualifying. Nico and Bottas outqualified Lewis as well. I still think Lewis is slightly faster than Russel in the race. Russel might beat Max and leclerc in the same car in a qualifying trim

I'd love to see Mercedes crash out each other at the start. Lando punts, and Hulk passes Max for the win.
What an odd thing to post in a Mercedes team thread... utterly miserable :mrgreen:
You know, I honestly thought this was in the main race thread lol not meant as a troll post. #-o

Impossible. For these people, Q has now become bigger than winning world titles. GR is faster than LH over one lap, but Sunday is what counts

It'll be a test of their newest set of upgrades, more like... One and a half month ago, Allison promised an upgrade package would arrive in about two months time that'd enable them to fight for not just podiums, but wins on merit aswell... They had the distant 4th fastest car back then, so... They either about to pull a Ferrari, or even the constructor's championship isn't entirely a lost cause then 😁...

You are right but most of the Merc fans are actually Hamilton fans and we want him to be ahead. That is my opinion, could be different for others

Yeah I will be surprised if whoever gets in the seat next year doesn't get beaten by George in qualifying.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff: "Our car performs better in lower temperatures, so it is clearly a British car... We are going in the right direction and will continue to provide upgrades in Hungary and Belgium. Hopefully tomorrow we can prove that we 'on merit' can win."

Surely, they go backwards tomorrow? True race pace deficit still remains regardless of what the practice times show.

Btw. Great wkend so far for team Mercedes with ANT winning the sprint too.

Lando said he thought Merc were just as quick as them yesterday, whether he meant just quali or in race pace as well not sure, but Lewis and George both seemed confident in their interviews right after getting out the cars

Spot on tbh, the reason why im giving Hamilton alot of crap is because i want him to show his best against Russell but damn Russell is a demon and is making Hamilton look second rate this year lool people have been waiting since 2007 to discredit Hamilton's achievements and call him a fraud and i have nothing to use to say " he still got it " thats the disheartening thing. It used to be Hamilton sneaking these poles and wins in now George " Chad chin " Russell taking every ounce of opportunity to maximise results.

Im not deluded like some fans on here, deep down i know Hamilton's on his way to the scrapyard. Quick here and there but he can't bring this level of performance against these youngers week in week out.
“And that’s part of the game, is being able to be adaptive, and we’ve got this new car – I don’t know how it’s going to handle, hopefully she’s great.”
