Think sausages, beer and gas chambers sounds like a weekend at Blackpool pride or summat that come to think of it Ahh, OK. Work for Merc then do you? I'd be jealous of your visit. Be fascinating to see any of the F1 team factories, but especially the engine manufacturers. Technology doesn't come more cutting edge than them. Always erks me a little when folk say, so and so only won coz he's in the best car. We'll that's not right anyway, but also, it's a team sport overall. They all working within the same regulations to produce the best car they can, it's as much of a fight as it is on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t possibly comment pal 😁 and absolutely I think people miss that the unsung heroes are the engineers and design teams. These boys are sensationally talented. And work so very hard.

MancWanderer Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hamilton. Awesome. The way he managed the intermediates for so long dropping in such fast times. Amazing drive. Might be unlikeable to some but what a driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at mini merc and and how well they are doing this year. he’s the best driver but also In by far the best car. All cars equal Then Lewis still wins the world title for me but max and le clerc run him close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogs Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Just watched highlights on channel 4. Hamilton not put a wheel wrong all weekend, pole, lead race start to finish and fastest lap. Can't do anymore than that. Hardly saw any footage of him in the race, that in itself shows how much he bossed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Sainz might just upset the order though. Good drivers can also help the team develop the car or tune it for a race better, that in turn results in, well, better results. The new generation of Norris, Albon and Russell look interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 19, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2020 If hamilton commits to merc, dont think he has yet? theres every chance russell gets a drive at merc And norris is going well, too, as you say Albon might end up getting dumped at red bull as hes going to be judged v verstappen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows he has a star in Verstappen and hopes Albon steps up. You never know, Gasly might even get his seat back! He is another with potential. I can't wait for Silverstone in a fortnight.

Escobarp Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Merc should looking at the tracks this year win every race between their drivers now. Hamilton almost unbeatable and will need mechanical gremlins to stop merc winning them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me laugh a little how Wolff explained the reason for their pace was in part due to trying to match the power of the Ferrari unit. Then Ferrari got knobbled by the FIA and the rest is history.

Ferrari will come again that’s for sure. I would love personally to see Red Bull really push on and become real Title challengers to merc. At the moment the gap is too big and it just diminishes my enjoyment and all the fun in back in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
