Mercedes W13

[restless]

aaaaand by magic last lap from Lewis was on par with RB, and the car was not jumping as much as before
So, too early to claim the car is not at the top atm

[ENGINE TUNER]

Release the KRAKEN!!!

[Timtim99]

I said it yesterday don’t ever rule out Mercedes, I am expecting them to challenge during qualifying

Looked a lot better. Wide at T4 though and still a LONG way off the times Max/Lec were pumping in last laps of FP2. 2 seconds to come out yet.

Yes, HAM left a couple tenths out there when going wide onto the curbs, but when on the grey stuff the car looked much much better, much more stable and not much visible porpoising. Looked a little down in terminal speed(relative to the RBR) on the main straight but they might not be in the highest power mode yet.

Soooo, bouncing looks better today innit ? A bit better on Ham's car compared to Russell as well.

The car is fast in s1 and s3 i.m confident in the car in the race

[Peter Ian Staker]

I bet they finally decided to cut their losses and lift the car a bit

[pursue_one's]

Front end ride height change

[Mchamilton]

Toto just said
Fp3 was the first yime theyve been able to run the car without the bouncing. But not a place (setup window i assume he means) where they saw the full performance in the (wind?) tunnel

All Mercedes cars around the bottom. Hmm, their PU is behind as well. Boy did they drop it hard?!

I'm sure the Merc PU isn't the best anymore.

[Jozsusz]

Well, to be honest it's not that bad.
Hamilton couldn't do 2 laps on new tires, I guess there was 1-2 tenths in the lap, 6 tenths deficit isn't that bad if this car is a pure compromise now.

[Henri]

The bouncing stopped with the ride height change.. but theor slower on s2 now.. but i.m confident lewis will nick p3 because gis excellent in tire management

Mclaren ans Williams have been languishing in the bottom 3rd for a while in the last 8 years, even with the best powerful engine .... that doesn't prove anything
