Should we expect Mercedes to lose some of that advantage next season or not?

Don't think Mercedes will lose their advantage in the next 2-3 seasons unless FIA somehow fucks them over

 

[JDB]

Merzzzzedes

 

[Upinsmoke]

Haas doing good.

 

[chadskin]

Track limits!

 

[DrM]

Almost eight tenths faster on soft tyre than Ferrari on SS. Wicked.

Grosjean will get 5 place penalty

 

[nature boy]

3 seasons in and Mercedes still killing everyone.

 

[Xando]

Ricciardo driving parabolica is like me driving parabolica in F12016

[LordAmused]

Both McLaren-Honda are goddamn slow

 

[Upinsmoke]

Gonna need Vettel to somehow get into 1st down to turn one for this race to be mildly entertaining.

 

[Xando]

Suprised the mercedes are going out again

 

[chadskin]

Nice lap by Gutierrez.

 

[Hasney]

Jesus GUT. Perez just squeaking in.

 

[djplaeskool]

FORCE INDIAAAAAA

 

[Xando]

Massa has given up

 

[DrM]

Sky commentators are experts in flat-spotted tyres

 

[bobnowhere]

Nice lap from Guti.

 

[Ruruja]

Button outqualified by a Manor.

 

[LordAmused]

Alonso said he was lacking power in straight lines.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Guttierez winning. Grosjean failing.

Wehrlein matching the Maccas on one lap pace.

 

[NewDust]

RBR really tought they had a chance to place top 10 on softs? Otherwise their decision for that first run of q2 baffles me. And if they really thought they had a chance, their optimism baffles me...

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

Almost eight tenths faster on soft tyre than Ferrari on SS. Wicked.

Keep in mind that the Mercs don't usually have the same speed gain on the SS as other teams. They're supreme on the harder tyres though...

 

[nature boy]

Are they going to give #blessed a new tire?

 

[nekkid]

1.2 second faster than Vettel who did he time on the soft tyre as opposed to the super soft. So not a true reflection.

No, but 0.7s faster on the slower tyre might be.

Are they going to give #blessed a new tire?

He now has a set that have done the same miles.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Haha fuck right off

Safety issue my arse.

 

[Juicy Bob]

The Gutierrez family delighted as their boy does something worthy of praise for the first time this season.

 

[Upinsmoke]

No, but 0.7s faster on the slower tyre might be.

Let's see if they are 1.2 seconds faster in Q3. If they are then fair enough.

 

[nature boy]

He now has a set that have done the same miles.

But he has to start with that front left tire that he flatspotted.

Sky speculating that Merc might ask the FIA to replace that tire for safety reasons.

 

[DrM]

Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne has admitted that the Italian team has 'failed' with its ambitions this year, as he set sights on a recovery in 2017.

We do not know how bad that flatspot is. If the tyre is deemed dangerous by Pirelli and FIA, they will give him another tyre

 

[GrizzleBoy]

http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-failed-on-2016-f1-targets-marchionne-815004/

Dont say.

 

[DrM]

Big Boss Sergio is looking like a fish in the dry

 

[brotkasten]

http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-failed-on-2016-f1-targets-marchionne-815004/

And so the cycle begins anew.

We've reached that point of the season already

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Ham pole...

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Fixed.

 

[nekkid]

That's what I mean. If he needs to replace it he has a set with the same mileage.

Come on, Lewis. Get out the car. Risk it.

 

[DrM]

And so the cycle begins anew.

I just wonder who will get sacked

 

[Zeknurn]

This qualifying session is pointless. They should have done a sprint race instead.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Kimi 0.7 seconds slower on same tyre. So half a second off that original 1.2

I'm not really sure what you're trying to prove, here. They're still a shambles.

So yeah Ferrari still a lot slower than they need to be but I find the whole Sky agenda quite baffling and frankly pathetic.

“looks like Kimi got a tow off Hamilton“

Lolololol

Like why can't you just your liquid diarrhea driven agenda to one side for like an hour and a half.

 

[djplaeskool]

Damn.
Mercedes: Run a qual lap > Make a sandwich > Run a qual lap > Brew some tea > Run a qual lap > Go home

What are you trying to prove. I don't really know how you can define shambles? I mean what does that make all the other teams?

So whoever is second, third etc etc is always a shambles by definition they aren't on the front row? So when Ferrari dominated (for a longer period than Mercedes have) every other team was a shambles?

They should get to work early on their 2021 car.

 

[nekkid]

Monster!

 

[olore]

Lewis... #bow

 

[aspiegamer]

lol, why did Rosberg resign with Mercedes? He's got nothing for Hamilton on equal footing, ever.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Your very quick to blow smoke up Mercedes arse and criticise Ferrari.

Like yeah your beating a dead horse. Good going.
