2024 Mercedes-AMG | Petronas F1 Team

[FittingMechanics]

Both Mercedes noted for tyre pressure infringement.

On the grid and when the race start was aborted, between the 10 minutes and the 5 minutes signal,
on car numbers 63 and 44, the tyre pressures were adjusted (pressure released) with wheels
already fitted to the car.
As this is in contradiction to TD003 N, items 2. c) and 2. h) i., I am referring this matter to the
stewards for their consideration

so thats a DSQ for both drivers if true, right?

I have no idea but that is apparently what Bernie Collins said.

I'm just asking myself where did that clinical team go? These types of mistakes wouldn't happen years ago.

Expecting a double DSQ. Another miserable weekend.

Three to go. Horrid team…in nearly every possible way.

I've never seen a car have so many issues as Lewis car had today, brake balance issues with the car not wanting to stop (Russell as well), aquaplaning, bouncing, understeer, then oversteer after pitting, then a power delivery issue that they eventually fixed, then heavy bouncing at the rear of the car. Ontop of that theyre both liklely to get DSQ'd

[SKYnRacing24]

Yep that car has some of the worst issues that rival the W13. They have no clue and if they get a DSQ , well it somes up there current guise imo just piss poor.

Team has been a shambles the entire regulation. Nothing new to see really. Needs a complete restructuring, and new leadership, that sadly won’t be coming. Team in no man’s land, basically waiting for an engine in 26’ to bail them out, as technically, they just don’t have the answers.

Mayne the air that was released was from tyres that werent to be used and they may get away with it?

and to think, Allison went all cocky on everyone talking about light switch moments…

If it's another DSQ I've got to feel for George. He keeps putting in solid performances but is not seeing the rewards in the points column because of silly stuff like this.

Just why would they even do this though? Cant wait to hear the interviews, if theure allowed to do them...

Its the false promises that do it for me, No other team over promises and underdelivers like they do. Even Lewis is guilty of this say " weve found our north star "

[justin2102]

This race gives me assurance for next year and beyond. If we get a good car, we could see George world champion because that was a mega drive today. Also, why was he consistently loosing one and half tenths to gasly into turn 1

Looks like Lewis has now checked out of the rest of the season and is focusing on 2025

https://www.motorsportweek.com/2024/11/ ... 1-weekend/

Lewis Hamilton says end of the season “can’t come soon enough,” and his expectations going into the remaining races are low.

“I just put my focus on something else. I’m not fighting for the championship, it doesn’t really matter where we finish in the championship.”

“I don’t care if I finish ahead of George or behind George, it doesn’t make that big of a difference to me. I just want to keep the car out the wall and try to score points if I can for the team.”

“If I can finish well and they give me a car that doesn’t bounce off the track in the next few races, then hopefully we get a better result. Looking forward to Christmas.”
