Why no set up changes for Hamilton? He wanted changes hence why he said he will likely start from the pit lane. He will likely suffer and have a terrible race and Russell reverting to Singapore spec starting from pit lane he will likely have a better race. I know it’s not good for George starting there but seems to me total favour for George yet again

after the sprint, they already changed a lot of stuff on Hamilton's car to improve race pace. Russell kept the same setup as before.

AMuS -
Hamilton was unhappy with the way his car performed in qualifying and wanted to start from the pit lane with new set-up changes, but in the end his engineers decided against making any changes.

Not making any changes to a car that was as fast as the Saubers. Bold move.

They changed it to improve race pace, so whatever happened in Qualifying may not mean too much for today.

The start at the back may btw actually not change too much either, result wise. Unless Perez gets past the midfield cars quickly (which he rarely does), 6th could still stay within reach. At least if the race pace is better than yesterday.

Everyone had already written this weekend off. Can’t deal with T19. Car & team are a shambolic mess.

is this the car or Lewis? it sounds like he's slowing and shifting down gears when the car starts to spin. doesnt seem to be a case of too much speed imo

I called a Mercedes SC 2 hours before the race on discord.

That car is terrible, props to george for not binning it yet.

worst weekend of his career but i mainly put it down to the team running these experimental setups. when was the last time Lewis had a moment like that in a race. The thing is a death trap.
“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.”
