Merc said the issue they found was fixed when Hamilton took his ICE, and that's why Bottas took another ICE. They shouldn't need to take any more parts.

Looking at the car today. I don't want to hope too much but Merc have found something. The car looks planted and compliant, and it isn't giving the handling issues that they had at the start of the season.

Fingers crossed.

Someone in the Autosport forums made a joke about Lewis getting shot by the police because of the outfit he was wearing and I replied that it was a tasteless, ignorant statement. Yet for some reason, I'm now blocked from viewing the forum :mjpls:
Really? Which thread?

So Merc finally have their car in a sweet spot and folks are crying foul.

Same folks who were saying how innovative the Red Bull rear suspension was. :mjlol:

fukkery afoot on the quali sims :mjlol:. Lewis was wheel to wheel with one of the Red Bulls, I wonder if they'll replay that.

And Jenson called it spot on :ehh:. That's exactly what happened.

I think Lewis will be on pole but will have both RB's behind him which will hurt strategically.

Red Bull looked much better in FP2.

Max seems to be the slower RB which usually means that Sergio is gonna have a long pit stop during the race that no one can explain and it'll lead to Max being able to pass him. Perez seemed like he was comfortably up there with the Mercedes when you were watching in real time so it makes sense that only Lewis and him had multiple laps in the 40s.

Gonna be a close one today between Lewis and Max although if they keep getting lap times deleted, someone from Ferrari or McLaren is going to sneak into a good place.
