I don't think anyone doubts that the Mercedes engine is the fastest; if they can transmit the power to the tarmac effectively. But they can't due to the chassis. Are they faking it, l think no. But l am enjoying your conspiracy theories about it. Mercedes and Hamilton may find a way to win the championship as they did with Ferrari in 2018. Then you would only say l told you it was staged.
At this point in time, l am having doubts that they would win both championships. It would be a feat of performance for them to achieve that and a serious blow to Redbull and Horner. Wolff will enjoy rubbing Horner face in the dirt, if Mercedes comes on top after Abu Dhabi. As Horner would enjoy doing vice versa.
The Aston would be great in the next five races, which suites the Mercedes chassis platform. It would be interesting to see how Vettel would fair against Stroll on those tracks.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 10th June 2021 at 17:31.

Can Verstappen beat the Meastro Lewis Hamilton at Paul Ricard? It would take something very special to do that or a stroke of luck. Providence has favoured Verstappen of late. Even when he has bad luck, he comes out of it lucky.

Well they clearly were designed to penalise Mercedes and address their dominance. When rule changes like this target a team directly then the adage "it's the same for everyone" doesn't really apply because, although the rules are the same, the performance hit is greater for one team than it is for the other, the situation for either team is different.

It's still a long season. More than anything strategy gave Max the chance for the win in France. With Lewis stuck on the old tires, he couldn't even really mount a defense once Max caught back up to him on track. The team really just didn't make the right call, and should have realized earlier in the race that RB could go for 2 stops. When wear is that high and grip is low, someone is going to do it.
