Merc clever strategy, assuming merc ICE can run jet mode reliably for two races.
Bottas ICE ran Sochi and Turkey, so he will run a new ICE for US and Mexico in full jet mode. Hammy PU changed in Turkey, so US is the second race in full jet mode. Hammy will take a new ICE for Mexico, and run it Brazil. Bottas will take a new ICE in Brazil and run it for Qatar Hammy will take a new ICE in Qatar/SA and run it for UAE Bottas takes another ICE for SA and runs it for UAE. Keeps Max off P1 and out of the top points barring a DNF It’s amazing the ICE does not factor into the budget cap.

It's for sure that Bottas got access now to the full power mappings . BUT ...Checo has showned us something in Turkey ...

1) About halfway through practice 2 they gave us an on board on the front of Lewis’ car where the tip of the top flap of the front wing was in front of a white letter on the base of the front wing, first time I really noticed how they depressed as the car picks up speed. Really cool to see it go up and down through the braking/accelerating.
2) AFAIK there’s a certain number of dry tires each driver is allocated for each race and they can pick and choose as they like(not sure how accurate this statement is lol). I’m curious as to why they choose so many softs when they mostly use mediums and hards during the race, especially those at the top. As I see it the main importance of the softs are during qualifying, especially at a track like this with above average tire wear and overheating. They continually comment how the softs overheat at the end of a fast lap. Wouldn’t they want more mediums/hards to get more data on race sims? |

During FP2 , HAM and MAX came side by side over the start/finish line . Once again HAM was playing mindf@ck games by slowing down in front of MAX. And so ...It came to a dragrace and it finished by a middle finger ! Ain't no good !

Can't believe the PU doesn't take in the budget cap, no doubt another BS rule line wangled into the Mercafia way of things.

Red Bull Racing brings us, "The Bendy Wing". ILLEGAL.
Mercedes AMG Petronas Racing brings us, "The Squatty Stern". LEGAL. Karen Horner and Darth Marko currently having coronaries. James Allison earlier this season. "We won't reveal where we've spent our tokens but it will become apparent when you see it." We see it. ( )

And technically it's not illegal, because f1 cars are allowed to have suspension. This means if you smartly tune the damper settings it's progressive until it hits a certain load - the down force you would only see under high speeds that only occur during the straights, at which point the damper completely gives out and bottoms out allowing the rear to squat and stall the diffuser dropping off all the drag characteristics a high rake car would have. So essentially it's just how the damper is tuned not actually active suspension because nothing is active. This is actually insanely hard to do (tuning the dampers alone is hard as hell), and alot of suspension geometry needs to be taken into account when the car squats. So that's probably where they spent their development tokens - so smart... Not going to be easy to copy because the squat F's up suspension geometry alot, and it must be taken into consideration. I'm not sure if you can even implement it properly without alot of suspension changes and that needs a token. But we shall see, it's also gonna take alot of development time so aka sacrificing next year's car so let's see how many teams are gonna copy. So what Mercedes is doing is in essense it's the reverse of what a street car spring does (if you have a good spring setup - I had this style of spring and damper on my frs so when it was lowered it would still have suspension compliance but it wouldn't compress enough to cause rub) where the street springs start super soft and get firmer as you go through it's travel. And this is stupid hard to achieve, especially if you have to calculate the exact loads that are needed. Overall this is an engineers wet dream, like wow this is insanely clever and absolutely amazing. Me personally I'm geeking the heck out over this design. Like holy crap it's awesome, almost as awesome as das. So simple yet so ingenious.

Merc got the math correct on this, I can see other teams attempting to emulate this with spectacular failure.

And yeah if it's done wrong you could loose so much down force on corerning elading to a major crash. Also you have to factor in suspension upsets like bump, what happens if you hit a bump while under a high amount of down force will the suspension completely compress? I'm sure newey is also working on it, but the question comes down to how the rb16b's already twitchy rear end will adapt to this. Will alot of suspension work need to be done? Idk but im looking forward to it.

On a side note it's hilarious seing hammy walking around with his 'helper' woman nearly everywhere carrying his toiletries and essentials so he keeps his short arms free, then again there are snowflakes and there are prize snowflakes with their own assistants. |

"That wasn’t the end to Verstappen’s vexation as he also decided to forgo his short run in FP2 amid traffic, retreating to the pits in dissatisfaction. He said: “In FP2 on the soft tyre, I didn’t put in the lap – but overall, I mean, it’s not easy out there."
suck it up buttercup, if it was easy everyone be doing it.
