4- Overheating s@cks
5- Rake s@cks

•Red Bull according HONDA Toyoharu Tanabe

1- ICE ( Internal combustion engine ) is new and is improved
2- ERS ( Energy recovery system ) is improved
3- Rear is improved
4- Balance and handling is improved
5- Rake is improved
6- HP + is improved
7- Floor is improved
8- New gearbox is improved ( remains top-secret )
9- Top speed is improved
10- Aerodynamics is improved
11- Reliability is improved
12- The RB race strategy is improved by Checo Perez

What was lacking in the 16 could only mean room for improvement in the B from Newey and Honda though as Christian says it's hard to believe that Merc has flopped so much.
We'll see if they appear with yet another floor and a copy of the reduced fin length 'trick' diffuser used by McLaren.
I would imagine those dimples are covering extra cooling tubes of some form to cut down on overheating and if it's that bad Merc will just have to revert to a wider coke bottle shape.

Indeed my friend .

Wollf's attidude regarding the used tokens is also ridiculous !
He was questioned about the situation and he said : "No further comment"

It's for sure , something is going on at Mercedes .
Probably It's sandbagging as usual ...

On the other hand , Red Bull didn't showed all their cards in Bahrein !

Very wise of Christian to keep some things on the back boiler, at least he says it with his customary smile that draws more fans to RB rather than the scowl Wolff portrays when he tries to hide something.

I always find it super amusing when u know exactly how much hp is down, wow you must be an amg engineer ha?

Literally no one knows what hp ANY of the teams are running no matter how much you speculate.

So now the box sucks, the rake sucks? U mean after it was intentionally altered? And also running less power due to overheating? So much insider info wow

If i got thrashed to bits for 7 years straight i would have some shame and wait till mid season before opening my mouth lol, talking like u been winning and shit, why dont u look up how honda engines had issues in the alpha tauri a few days ago?
Lol

He’s got himself covered in both scenarios. One post says the Merc car sucks, the next says Merc is sandbagging. He’ll have an excuse to support Max in the end in any scenario.

Your timing is impeccable. You post at X:12 and a Red Bull post comes up at X:13. It's like hitting a switch!!

Just missing the truth - maybe Max isn’t as good as they believe

Someone's superstitious

[e90335e36m3]

The other day my wife, unsolicited, said that she believes that Verstappen is a more talented driver than Hamilton. She was excited the Netflix show was renewed again. I asked her why, she said because he has to work much harder than Hamilton and does so with with inferior equipment. On the other hand, Hamilton drives, instagrams, social justice warriors, is developing a clothing line, is dating 15 celebrities, etc...his focus is on a million things at once. One has a singular focus, the other is pursuing 15 careers. Basically it's the car that allows him to do that.

I thought it was a fair point.

Devil's advocate here:

Splitting your focus 15 ways and showing up to work and still being #1 has gotta count for something.


When you're at the top, ppl think it's easy. What about the years Ferrari had the faster car but Ham still won? Or the poles and races he won in inferior cars pre-Mercedes?

Mate . Actually I didn't said anything .
Re-read my post above : "I said : "According HONDA Toyoharu Tanabe"

It came from a Japanese article , and Japanese friends at work translated the article in Japanese for me .
HOW ?

Well , The article was in Japanese , and Japanese people translated the article for me at work .
Let's say I have my direct Japanese resources coming from Japan !
Regarding HONDA as well ........................

By this you guys could read what Toyoharu Tanabe said regarding the winter test in Bahrein .

And of course I know even more . But that doesn't means you guys know it as well ...

BTW : Toyoharu Tanabe from HONDA is Japanese !

And of course you are welcome and your wife as well !

In short : Mate , your wife nailed it !
