If they have already made the Antonelli deal, why haven't they announced it yet at Monza? Is Mercedes hesitating about whether he is ready to fill Hamilton's shoes? I just can't figure out who else it would be other than Antonelli.
It’s Kimi. It’s done. Toto has let it slip about three times in the last week. It was likely signed months ago. Time to move on.

Hamilton is definitely a dark horse here.
I won't be surprised if they have to raise their ride height for tomorrow and go a bit backwards. That was one car that was scraping way more than others.

That could be an explanation for why both drivers complained about the seat being too hot.

Ham said he thinks the hot air from the radiators was leaking into the cockpit

Interesting theory but I don't think this is physically possible. The survival cell is "closed".

Okay, stated this way, I guess he means that air could have heated the side and rear of the monocoque, which transferred to the seat. This is also plausible.

Pace seems decent. If the guys qualify in the top 4, they should be in the fight on Sunday.

This is wrong? Lando did a 20.741 on Quali Sim not 20.851? maybe just a typo

Seems like ferrari and Mercedes are gonna challenge mclaren this weekend.

Does anyone know if Mercedes were running a higher df setup than the rest? They weren't very high up in the top speed list.

Tough to say, looks quite big in comparison.
