I'd add That Russell wasn't super happy during the race either, complaining about both understeer and oversteer. In some ways it seems like the team is generally disregarding what the drivers want, and that's only ever going to go one way.Luscion wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 14:16I think the fact that Russell is also seemingly backing what Lewis is saying here with the "when i saw that, i was thinking, lewis wont be happy." line gives it more validity. Russell could have easily called out Lewis if it wasnt the caseMatt2725 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 12:02So Lewis is saying he has no agency or say over his tyre choice?
Sorry but I don't believe that for a second. Hamilton has been economical with the truth previously and is likely leaving out a few crucial details as to his involvement in that process. Either that or every success he's had in the past is all down to the team and not any decision he's ever made personally. He can't have it both ways.
Mercedes must get on top of this overheating cockpit problem. The drivers will suffer in Austin and Qatar if they do not. These conditions also make a driver slower and more error prone so there is a cost.erudite450 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 20:16The team have been roasting the drivers with how close they are running the cars to the ground. That is simply unacceptable.
