Thats what you get merc for running these mad setups between sessions and putting the car on a knife edge. Crazy how the car let go there at that corner for Russell. Lewis will pretty much have another experimental setup for tomorrows race. Its simply not good enough. The development has been hit and miss but the main thing to me is this car is bog standard. Im sorry to rant but regardless of the 3 wins viewing this car onboard from both cars has been a death trap at times. They still don't understand these ground effect cars and basically THEY ARE SCREWED. You can't be going down these blind alleys and not expect the W16 (Possibly even the W17) to have some of its inherent flaws of the W15.
its a big upgrade package on a sprint weekend, the car showed signs of improvement yesterday with Lewis' quali times but then both cars ate their tires come the sprint, sometimes you need a couple weekends to dial it in, but saying that theres still a lot of problems with Merc, still have a car that overheats its rear tires, is very sensitive to temperature, while better than the W13 and 14 still has a relatively narrow setup window
