Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team 2014

Arguably, they should have already have had this record wrapped up if they didn't lose Canada, Hungary and Belgium the way they did.

Factually, it wouldnt matter in which way they lost those races.

Guys, any ideas about the PU: both are running out aren't they. Will they take a 10 place penalty each (to play it safe) or will they risk blowing one up. (hope that doesn't happen! )

[Skippon]

No they are not.....!! they were all using engine #4 at Sochi

[De Jokke]

Really? Ok then, pfew

The team switched over to the 5th and final ICE for Sochi. From what I can tell, Lewis and Nico are essentially back to equal on engine component usage.

Mercedes timeline of success, still a wip.

The FIA say the previously used engine going into Sochi (i.e. at Japan race) was indeed the fifth.
That doesn't preclude them going back to the 4th!!!! and they probably have the third as a spare too!!!

Anyone notice Massa engine change in Parc Ferme yet he apparently had already taken the fifth in Japan!!!!

From engineers to cleaners, apparently

I think the Mercedes drivers will be fine. Hamilton has an engine not used in Australia, Rosberg in Singapore (a few laps). Hamilton was cruising the whole Sochi GP.

They have the constructor trophy from Red bull already?? Thought it got given out at a ceremony at the end of the year.

They drove in and stole it...red bull couldn't catch them when they made their escape in the W05

In all this, there isn't one person who named Dear Mr. Bob Bell for the credit of constructors. If i remember right, the man was responsible for chassis and engine integration in this new generation, which was such a great achievement as far as W05 is concerned.

This is very true.

Has he now left the organization completely? Last I heard was he popped into the DTM division.
