Wolff mentioned that an overnight tweak on their settings reintroduced the Mercedes porpoising in Q3 & qualifying that negated Friday's gains.

Are they allowed to 'untweak' to Friday's settings? Or are the cars now in parc ferme?

Interesting as Russell said in his interview that his car was exactly the same and couldn't understand why it had suddenly become terrible.

Mercedes 'tweaking' cars without telling the driver? Tin foil hats at the ready!

I’d be absolutely astounded if any teams didn’t make some changes between FP2 and FP3. Everyone will be analyzing data and hunting more performance at that point in the weekend ?

I didn’t see that quote from George but I guess he’s talking fundamentals. Maybe nothing he’d expect to be so significant to take him so far backwards.

Wolff did say that they learned about the car from the changes that took them backwards… We’ll see if that translates to performance in future weeks.

George was saying that the car was identical Q2 to Q3, so it must be the conditions that it didn't like. It must have a very small window!

Turns out I was wrong; it’s Mercedes who don’t want to see Andretti in F1…..

Georges performance was down to what the car would allow. It was working on day 1, it was a disaster on day 2.

Yes, he was clearly right on the car's limit in Q2.

10 really isn’t enough, Grid would look very sparse if even one team left or folded. It’s a shame that Audi or Porsche aren’t thinking about setting up new teams.

This a joke?

If it is, it’s not one of my funniest.

Your best work is when you predict Perez victories.
