We all know that Seb is first and foremost a fan of Formula 1. So his statement makes sense and is the truth. I'm sure in retrospect he'd agree if someone calls the Red Bull dominance from back then boring as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFC 1,501 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 15 hours ago, Cannabis said: The interesting scenario will be if Bottas can handle Hamilton's mind games towards the back end of the season. Rosberg had to retire because he admitted himself that it totally drained him in 2016 and it's well documented that had it not been for an engine failure in Malaysia, Lewis would have won that season. Whether you like him or not he's an absolute animal in and out of the car when the going gets tough and it'll be interesting to see if Valtierri can keep up with that. At the moment Lewis is ''happy'' to be 2nd however when we get to the likes of Singapore, Monza etc. then it'll be a totally different kettle of fish. Good point, I feel Lewis has started the mind games on a low scale for now. Listen to his comments, he said him and Bottas play it safe, referring to the start at Baku, how they respected each other unlike previous partners (Rosberg). He added that he doesn't know if this mutual respect will last, so I reckon he has started the mind games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if it works and Ferrari manage to beat Mercedes in Spain, they'll still lose their advantage after a while considering that Mercedes will bring theirs later in the season... I'm reading that Haas are bringing a big update; new front wing, new floor and a lot of the smaller parts like mirrors. RB are said to found aerodynamics solution to their previous issues with tyres; will only bring some "subtle evolutionary developments" otherwise.

I think they will bring some upgrades but nothing major... Not sure if it's true but it's been suggested that Mercedes had been having some cooling issues since the start of the season and are expected to have them solved for Barcelona meaning they can use more powerful engine modes for longer times (as opposed to Q3 in quali and a few laps during the race only).

I'm hoping this move pays off and we see a bit more consistent competition to Mercedes now and actually bring some entertainment/fun to races for the rest of the season (or until at least the August break). Don't want the season over before it's barely even started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
