•As we know Merc absolutely wants to achieve the 8th world title , it got during the winter tests significant PU issues ,because the Merc PU is tuned beyond the limits !

•So, probably the most interesting change is the "pimple" that developed halfway up the PU hood. It seems that one of the engine parts needs extra space. The question now is whether this is because Merc wrapped the hood so tightly around the engine or because the Merc PU is somehow bigger than last year.
Maybe the more knowledgable Merc fans could judge the significance of what is lurking underneath the dimple.

Indeed my friend

Honda worked really hard on the PU , MAX has at least 40 ponies more to push with..
And the Honda MGU-K is upgraded , It's there where the Merc's power and torque advantage comes from..
The rake from the RB16B is changed as well ..

Hopefully that's enough to fight with 44 in the front line....


On the other hand :Meanwhile the Merc's hood bulge and updated floor remain suspect !
There's also an extra cooling opening on the Merc's hood bulge . This means the Merc's PU had overheating issues during the winter tests ...

Merc tested already from mid 2020 with the new 18-Inch Pirelli's *with more rubber* , and the '21 new W12 floor is build to get more downforce .
But....As we know !
More downforce means also more tire wear ! Then suddenly the '21 Pirelli's showed up *with more rubber* ...Just in time !
Of course Pirelli supplied Mercedes *with more rubber*
Coincidence ?

I don't think so...

Of course Merc Pirelli and short man might as well be called the same thing rolled into one, Mercpirtotty all in cahoots to put a stranglehold on their continuing agenda..but Wolf seems to be ageing 2 weeks every week thinking about the 16B

Why HAM got only a (*1) year contract instead of the 3 year contract demand ...

"44" will be "33" in 2022...And BOOM !!!

Well...Shake your cards HAM fans !!!

Merc just about scraped up the treasure trove for Hammy's demand and as time goes on it's all pointing at Max heading to Merc ''but'' if Max wins the championship then that will throw the cat amongst the pigeons.. and Russ maybe to Merc and Hammy to Ferrari for the cash money so pressure then is on Sainz to haul in Leclerc.

MAX vs HAM at Mercedes with equal machinery is my dream scenario ...

Now that would be something both in the Merc but would Max get equal treatment and equipment with the current 'arranged situation' in force. I don't think that will happen as you said yourself even Wolf has hinted he doesn't want a 'star wars'.
