Interesting that all of the Merc people are wearing IWC, someone has thrown a few bob at it
IWC have been Merc's sponsor for years (partnered with Mercedes-AMG since 2004 apparently), they've all very clearly been wearing them for years in every press interview, podium shot etc.?
Not everyone in the garage

Ah fair enough, clearly feel that it's worth the extra advertising in Monaco. Or that at least they'll probably not all get stolen like in Barcelona hehe

Anyone else getting a fair bit of interference on the signal from Sky?
I thought that was Di Resta?

Thanks. That must be painful- there is not a worse circuit to lose a session. People are looking to Bottas to spring a surprise in qually.

Is there a confirmed problem? Or are they swapping it to give him the best shot? He could be formidable here with fresh power and his knack for the perfect quali lap.

They tweeted to say there's an issue at the back - could be gearbox - which they still use internals provided by Ferrari.

If that was the case, they'd just start the whole weekend with a fresh PU, not lose a session doing a planned engine swap.
