And apparently Mercedes has engineered their car in such a way that they can play with the front suspension geometry from race to race without bringing a new chassis.
that would be brilliant. setup has always been an Achilles heel for Merc.
It would. Allison said they were testing different anti dive settings, something you can't typically do in a practice session. Sam Collins showed some pictures of the pushrod at two wildly different angles, and a panel where it connects to the chassis. On top of that, Allison said that track changes are generally agreeing with what the simulator says. So I think it's entirely possible to see a flip flop between geometry from FP1 to FP3, or even differing geometries between the two cars. It should leave a lot of scope for development this season.
also gives them a firm base for development correlation. that's excellent news.

Yeah give credit where credits due. That boy is a nazi but he is a consistent nazi. Thatās exemplary performance.

Sounds like Mercedes was already looking to the future.

Truth coming out or is Merc covering their asses?
I think there's a little truth to it

A mix of both. They just didnāt think Lewis would be the one to pull the trigger. They were def about to pull a Schumacher on him. And with a driver named Kimi no lesss
Makes sense to me. If it was up to Toto, George probably would've never gone to Williams. Bottas got another 2-3 years at Merc solely because of Lewis. He's been ready to flip the lineup for years.
Hard decision to make but on some level I understand.
