Can anyone think of something so outrageously stupid that matches this?
I suppose one could give Mercedes the benefit of the doubt. They obviously have a lemon on their pit wall, so one would expect to see some changes in that area at the next few races. The true impact of this error (if we can call it that) would be apparent as we approach the end of the season.
