Good to see Mazaspin with a sense of humour there!


Edit - for the benefit of those who arent watching


Engineer - "Nikita, Driver setting C87, Charlie 87 please"

Nikita - "Done it mate, were not in Monaco anymore!"

Going to be another painful weekend for Lewis and Mercedes it seems...

Is there a contractual requirement for teams to put up anybody for the media beyond drivers?

Not defending the decision not to talk - just wondering

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark. It must be hard to handle a situation like this when you’ve had nothing but success for a number of years.

Still surprised at Toto though, he’s typically so affable.

Maybe he is just reinforcing Lewis' support of Naomi Osaka

The Mercs do seem to struggle on the C4 C5 tyres this year.

Great pace from Red Bull.

That car is just so slow to get heat into its tyres it seems.

I think he's taking the P2 result to the International Court of Appeal.

DAS must have been quite an advantage last year

It's true, and I think the floor changes hurt Merc more than most.

Boohoo. It's the same rules and the same rule changes for everybody. Crying about it isn't going to make your car any faster.

Who’s crying?

It looks to me like the Mercedes rear wing is just as flexible as the red bull’s.

So how far into the season does Sparta and others accept that Max is only winning because he’s in the best car?

Dunno what’s going on with Mercedes right now but they need to get it together if they’re to challenge the best car on the grid

[BrettMRC]

It's only friday - suspec Merc will be back in the top 6 by saturday afternoon.
