I believe that it was Martin Brundle who reported that Mercedes didn't use the party mode in Spain. If that's true, I'm looking for the Mercs to be that much stronger on race pace going forward.
The heads running F1 might know that F1 is supposed to be full party mode for the entire bloody race. Maybe there is a message to Mercedes that their "party mode" talk is making a mockery of F1 and that their "dominance" is becoming uncomfortable.

Ferrari and Red Bull only hope of regularly seeing the top of the podium is for them to run Mercedes kit and fly a white flag. In todays field, simply finishing on the lead lap is an accomplishment.

Records are falling like leaves in Autumn but are they earned in a field of two?.

Texted my brother to let him know F1 qualifying was on - his reply - "Why bother?".

No more party mode is progress, welding a three ton anchor on the back of the cars has merit...
