Poll: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022, Baku - Race 8

[Deleted member 651465]

No surprise this is coming from you lol. Rent free in your head.

When have I ever complained about Mercedes Engines? Stop with the pathetic whataboutism.

Mercedes can reduce the porpoising if they really want to but it will compromise their performance, much like the other teams. Tough luck, redesign your flawed car.

If Mercedes had the Red Bull car and vice versa I wonder what Mercedes would be saying then?

No response to my valid post about health concerns? Check.

Note that I didn’t actually say you specifically? Note that if you apply that logic of “they should do better” then everyone complaining of Merc domination for the last few years are equally invalid.

Grow up with the stupid posts or your access to this section is going to DNF.

Isn’t the problem even worse on the Mercedes’ due to their design though?

I remember hearing/reading that their sidepod free design meant the floor had less space to make it more rigid….I’m not sure how correct that is but they do seem to suffer more than other teams.

FP3 I think it was where they replayed on board, the merc was banging the ground where others skimmed over, still hitting just not as violently. I can’t see how bashing a drivers spine at 6G (sky said it not me) can be good for any of them.

I am no expert but i think that side pod design is causing headaches! Or backaches!

Insightful post 10 outa 10..
Lewis is a doubt for Canada with a spine injury apparently

Looks like toto said that without speaking or seeing Lewis according to news articles

If it was that, none of the other teams would have it. They just don't have it as bad.

Plenty of drivers complaining about it

Without the red cars it all becomes predictable , 6 for me .

 

[PinkFloyd]

Got bored watching the highlights and turned it off once it became a foregone conclusion about half way through. Didn't seem to even be any overtaking, which is odd as I swear the last few years it's been chaotic slipstreaming and swapping of places on that main straight?

4 for me - boring race once ferrari's went out.

Nothing interesting - McLaren wouldn't even let their drivers race. All far too predictable/boring at the moment.

Merc need to sort their car out fast but raising the ride height is a massive performance hit but for the issues that the drivers are having it looks the only option for Canada...

Typo from @Flibster or his source there Max should be on 13.6%.

Pretty dull race to watch unless you work in Ferrari’s F1 engine factory as you know you’ve got loads of overtime coming.

Or none - if you've been fired!

Like one of the comments from YT said - if heading a football has links to dementia then imagine what this is doing to the drivers wellbeing. This is insane. I wonder if Lewis might skip the next race if half for genuine health reasons but also to make a firm point on the dangers here. He could barely get out of the car after today ffs.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Well, that’s me out of the run for the lead in the fantasy F1 lol!

Ferrari really need to sort their **** out.

 

[Slam62]

Are we headed for a couple of years of MV dominance now?

Merc will improve but in f1 you have to get better just to stay where you are. Ferrari have returned to form only with a fast car and driver this time.
tbh it's not even close

 

[Quartz]

If Mercedes sort out their car, Russell will be well in the mix. Hamilton should have retired already.

 

[Mr Jack]

Are we headed for a couple of years of MV dominance now?

Could be. Red Bull have come out strong, whilst Ferrari are squandering their chances. But, on the other hand, Leclerc has been battering Red Bull in Quali. Start connecting the dots and they're more than on level.
