Poll: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022, Baku - Race 8

The trouble Merc have is that, this doesnt seem to be a massive problem across the board. The Red Bull doesnt seem to suffer from it to anywhere near the extent that the Merc does.

The FIA will likely just say "design a better car then. If Red Bull can do it, so can you".

Hamilton's onboard during practive did look utterly ridiculous/horrible, but i can't see them changing the rules for Merc, just because they designed a **** car.

They all have it just to different degrees. The Ferrari for example looks horrendous, even the McLaren which is one of the best has porpoising.

Is anyone else irrationally upset that they were calling it street fighters, but then use a bunch of mortal kombat style animations and sounds?

Random thought. Anyone reckon Schumacher will be in the Haas next year?

Not the way he's going. Far too many crashes and KMag is destroying him. He's a hell of a long way off his pace.

Interesting comments by Wolff. Something does need to be done though, either raise the ride heights or bring in a standard active suspension.

I just missed what he said, was he saying they might not finish because of the pain? I saw an article with Lewis suggesting that he could barely get through a flying lap.

He sounds like a well trained puppet tbh, he is a nice guy but he's a proper corporate suck-up.

He seems like one of those epitome of a posh English boy. Nice enough, but you have to lol at his pics of him in the country with the Barbour jacket and flat cap etc As he settles into Mercedes it’s be nice to see a bit of humour or character from him. He does seem a bit overly serious. But then again I would be if I was in his position!

Albon pit radio - Warmup on the prime is slow for Daniel and Ocon. 2-3 cars ahead

 

[Junglist]

I love Sainz but he is not doing a good enough job so far this year

 

[Flibster]

Latifi radio - Just check pressure of rear left, Sorry, rear right.

Pit - All is good. Go race.

Latifi - Copy. Doesn't feel good there, almost put it in the wall.
