When they are on lower fuel levels the car suddenly gets alive ...sport777 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 15:00The Mercedes car with the optimal tire position is one of the fastest, in the second part of the race Russell was one of the fastest on hard, unfortunately they have not yet understood the reason why the tires sometimes do not work correctly, but as I said, the Mercedes car is quite goodSKYnRacing24 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 14:57Knew Lewis would have a absolute mare with that suspension change.

Well, then this is a problem for them, since it’s clear that the car is definitely fast, I’ve already seen for several races how Merc lags behind in the first stages, but then comes to life and becomes the fastest, Russell on the hard race beat Piastri a decent amount of time, in my opinion 5- 7 seconds exactlyatanatizante wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 15:32When they are on lower fuel levels the car suddenly gets alive ...sport777 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 15:00The Mercedes car with the optimal tire position is one of the fastest, in the second part of the race Russell was one of the fastest on hard, unfortunately they have not yet understood the reason why the tires sometimes do not work correctly, but as I said, the Mercedes car is quite goodSKYnRacing24 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 14:57Knew Lewis would have a absolute mare with that suspension change.

It`s speculated that lowering the car`s CoG throughout the race is the main reason and the car`s DF load is just enough to get the tyres into their optimal window ... and that gets along with the fuel levels they had when on Friday's race sim when HAM was just flying on the H tyre ...
Merc was faster only a few races were the track didn't fit Ferrari/Ferrari missed the upgrade but overall its quite clear Ferrari is the better car and will probably be till the end of the seasonDunlay wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 14:55Early in the season, Ferrari was better than Merc and Lewis probably felt vincidated of his decision to leave Merc and then came a period where Ferrari was behind and Merc was ahead, making Lewis rue the decision and now again Ferrari is ahead. I would like to see this see-saw continue.
Perhaps to give him a car he's more compatible with? its something Shovlin said they were working on but then the season is almost over and he's moving to Ferrari next year.
Eh, its pretty clear is most likely a one off thing imo, months and months ago the team said they were done with experiments including Lewis himself and they were only doing tiny changes
This is the problem with Lewis. He had a poor qualifying and didn't like the setup. What was he expecting? They would have decided to redo the setup to help him in the race. Not doing anything would have probably given him a few places better in the end result, best case scenario. Would he have been happy?
In the last decade+, teams have spent multiple billions to understand these Pirellis and build sophiscated suspensions and cars around them, but have failed to really master. Previous to Pirellis, they had other suppliers whose tyres used to work with 13 to 15 PSIs and we hardly used to hear teams and drivers complaining about them. These ridiculous Pirellis don't work even at 25 PSIs. Pirelli must have been only example in the history of any sport that is failing so ridiculously as a supplier.
That's pretty much my conclusionDGP123 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 15:52Here we go. The word experiments on Lewis’ side and it’s going to kick off. See you in two days once the numerous bans have been put in place and pages and pages are deleted.
Merc just simply haven’t got a clue about this reg. simple as. Hamilton has made the right decision. Everything else is just noise.
