@John78



Nooo Maxy nooo

This is sooo Not right

:crazy_face:

Now i know why Merceds AMG did so many tests with porpoising in Formula 1!


Mercedes (Telegram: Contact @Pravda_Gerashchenko) has created a new “jumping” mode to prevent the car from getting stuck in sand and mud

But car owners just test drive it on the streets, because a dancing car is fun.

They only did it so Mercedes drivers can pretend to have sex in their cars :joy::joy:

Günther Steiner already said that they will not do anything about the 2023 car anymore and concentrate on 2024

They know they can’t use the saved money for the next season? :joy::joy:

yes, but next years car is basicly the same as this year, so they can try out certain things this year

Doesn’t he say that every year? :joy::joy: apparently there will be a massive change for Haas in Austin, Gunther has said “it would be the biggest change Haas has ever made in-season.”

When they upgrade as little they do that won’t be a hard statement to beat

he could learn a lot from Lawrence Stroll, copy the best car of the season and you score points with the right driver

They will use different colored hub cabs :joy::joy::joy:

Funny you should say that because that’s exactly what they are doing, this is what he was saying yesterday:

“The concept of the car will change, go in that downwash direction,”

“You’re limited with your chassis and a few other things as you all well know, but we are trying to go to that downwash shape now, like everyone else has got.”

“We know the direction for next year. We weren’t sure, should we do it this year or not, and then next year we go full that route.”

“We had to say, ‘Let’s do something this year’ so at least we learn as much as possible for next year on that concept and maybe learn something which we can then integrate in next year’s car as well.”

“The team’s “biggest problem” with its existing concept was that it “couldn’t find any performance anymore”.

“We developed the whole year and there was nothing there anymore, And at some stage you need to decide, ‘We need to do something different here’.

“We cannot keep on banging our head against the wall, crying and obviously the other ones, you look at the other cars and just see, they keep on finding performance, McLaren changed the system like this, they find something, and at some stage you need to say, ‘We need to change concept, we need to face reality’.”

When asked about the deal with Ferrari and why so far behind

We cannot change them now, just haven’t got time to change radiators and those other bits, your chassis, you can change, you can do everything but it wouldn’t work out,”

“But I don’t think it’s down to Ferrari. Yeah, their electronic boxes are there as well, but I wouldn’t blame Ferrari for that one.

“Some of the stuff, we need to go close to them, but like the side impact structure we could have put it somewhere else if we wanted.

“But it would be very similar, because that concept that we are running now asked for that side impact structure to be where it is.

“So that is why it is where it is.”

FP2

Ferrari doing a good job on one lap

Aston Martin very fast in the long runs

can be a nice weekend!

Red Bull has some simulator work to do…
and the practice start from Max was not optimal to say it in nice words

FP3

Going to be a nice Qualification!
