Are Mercedes Restricting Hamilton's Powertrain?

I'm waiting with interest for the qualifying and race over the weekend. If LH wins, have the team given him equal power to Nico now the Drivers & Constructors Championships are over?

He's never had anything other than equal power ffs!

No, they'll have given him extra power like he had for the other races he won this year. Otherwise how else could he have beaten Nico?

Nico seems to be faster in FP2, so I think they have definitely removed LH's turbo and replaced it with a pallette of bricks

It seems very likely .. based on the performance.

Also, when he is leading they bring him in for another tyre change, despite his protests (two races now).

Actually, I'm surprised they haven't sent LH out on square wheels just to slow him down on the straights

I don't often resort to personal criticism, and this is no way related to the thread being about Merc/Hamilton/Nico, but peddling this line makes you sound like a complete moron.

All hat seems likely is that you do t know what the hell you are talking about.
