2024 Mercedes-AMG | Petronas F1 Team

[AR3-GP]

The team have been roasting the drivers with how close they are running the cars to the ground. That is simply unacceptable.

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.

Now I understand why Russell asked for "words of encouragement". He probably was getting sick in the car.

Apologies.

As expected Allison admits starting on the softs was a mistake and they shouldnt have done it and Merc are bringing a pretty big upgrade to Austin, its gonna be their last for the season.

Big updates you meant. Whether the updates are upgrades will be judged on track.

I see Lewis has backed down on his claims at the Petronas event last week.

So, the truth came out, it was a risky strategy which he ultimately ended up agreeing with and it failed miserably.

If he agreed, Why would GR have said LH was pissed to find out he was starting on the softs?. Key words " find out " , Doubt GR minced up his words.

More likely he has been told to change his comment.

What are the chances of Mercedes with significant upgrades fighting for victory at the Austin track?

If it rains / is cold at any remaining races their chances go up significantly. Vegas is probably merc's best shot.

Anyone can get depression, I hope this news inspires others to talk about mental health.

Lewis said what he meant using his own words from his own mouth.

Everything else is quite literally the definition of PR.

The cat is out of the bag already anyway

The social media posts have been made and shared.

The youtube F1 news videos have been made and watched.

The podcasts have been heard.

The fact that Lewis did not want to do the strategy has already been left out of all the management interviews and debrief vids aimed at fans of the team. Making the stink, even stinkier.


The "walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, smells like sh*t" narrative was already loud enough and the team decisions were already fuelling the fire under the cauldron of bubbling poop.

For them to want him to do this kumbayah fluff post must mean the pressure is real, but at the same time there is nobody who is going to be moved by this statement.

At this point, they might as well just do what theyre accused of unabashed. Nobody is changing their minds at this point.

Okay, thank you for explanation.

Signing for Ferrrari isn't going to help and may made it worst. Tifosi can be very unforgiving

Pure conjecture. Couldn't have been farther than truth.

Can be? They are.
He’s oblivious to the rats nest he’s walked into.
It’s going to be an epic failure.

In case anyone still comes here for Mercedes team news:

Explaining how Mercedes is currently filling the extended gap ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Allison said: "We'll be trying to figure out how to mitigate what ailed us [in Singapore], how to figure out how to make the tyres run better on these sorts of overheating circuits.

"We'll be also doing quite a lot of work to bring our last upgrade of the season together."

Confirming "a fairly substantial set of new clothes" for the car in Austin, Allison added: "We hope that will give us a decent weekend there.

"So we've got to deliver all that and get ourselves ready for these last few races of the year.

James Allison is one of the tire magicians of Formula One. I'm sure they will figure it out.
