As Mercedes were able to do when they dominated F1. Then they made a huge error of judgement and went down the wrong development path. Hardly RB's fault..

All teams could generally spend whatever they wanted until the cost cap, generally the better funded teams ended up at the front, Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren over the years - Renault maybe the outlier although I expect in their championship winning years they were probably as well funded as the other front runners.

You do realise RB are significantly faster than ALL of the other teams right? This isn’t just about Mercedes - although clearly they’ve fallen the furthest from 2021..

Let’s see what Horner had to say after ONE race in 2015, lol :rolleyes: https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/15/red-bull-christian-horner-fia-f1-season

Ahh so it's only merc that went down the so called wrong development path. What about the other teams...

Yea ok keep hating on merc/Hamilton.

As per usual the Hamilton haters are out in full force via a click bait title slating Hamilton
 
Huge crash in Formula regional at Spa. I won’t post the video but very similar to Hubert’s accident. With early reports saying Van’t Hoff being unconscious and unresponsive which doesn’t sound good.

If we’ve had a repeat, questions are going to be asked about the redesign of Spa that was supposed to reduce the chances of things like this.

Confirmed that he's died sadly, I have to say having seen the accident - I don't think modern F1 would have been running with the visibility as poor as it was

Err, no so what is your point? Unfortunately I haven't a clue why my post stating a fact is in anyway construed as being a 'hater'. But so it goes, not about to waste my time.

It will never happen, but I'd love to see F1 try and make things more competitive by doing things such as...
Drivers race for different team cars at each weekend, as much as that's possible
Fixed, limited number of various tyre compounds
Fixed car setup for the whole season, besides the usual parc ferme rules

I’ve often thought about two fixed aero configurations, with only one change to one of them allowed. Williams could look at a low downforce, ultra slippery version to be competitive at Monza and Baku for example, but other teams would need to strike a middle ground and make compromises.
 
Some big incidents all around so far this weekend. Looks like that incident happened further up the track from where the modifications came into play after Huberts accident. But still, the weather looked questionable. Poor kid, RIP.

Indycar doing their best today too:

that was MENTALLY quick - that replay is horrendous

The 2.45 replay is insane!! The speed he's carrying - but the car does exactly what it's supposed to do.... Very very lucky

I did not 'pick' Mercedes, I just quoted them to illustrate a point. I'm sorry if that's somehow offended you but the issue is not of my making.
Hating who? Such a childish terminology to use....

You could have quoted any of the other teams or infact just said red bull created a car faster then the rest of the field but nope, you made it an opportunity to bash merc to fit your giggles

Oh dear, you're right I could have easily used McLaren as well, so what! Just keep on creating a fake agenda and reading into something that's not there.
Your being overtly sensitive, I wonder why?
