Another potential MERC-driven torpedo in the front row, one with even less to loose. :)
All respect for Russell, really great driver but he won't be seen at MERC 2022 as he's too fast for HAM.
Just a teaser for the start:

For people with lower budget it's one of the best driver cars out there. Even amoung roadsters it has set benchmarks due to its excellent suspension.
I've had one for 3 years but long ago. But the 2.0 engine lacks torque IMHO.
The heart attack has been postponed. :)
Leclerc's engine is also damaged.
HAM seems to suffer of long Covid symptoms, might explain some of his faults this year.
The engine of Perez is damaged too after the crash. Well done, Bottas!
Next race is in Spa. MERC better not arrive there...
MERC understood the new rules (budget cap) best. A broken front wing or suspension is much cheaper than the rear end of the car. Go on with it, you 'respect'-guys, an...
Why? Bottas did an excellent job for the team! Best teamplayer ever! Russell couldn't do it any better. One torpedo, two ships sinking (3 incl. Norris). Toto will be very pleased with him. Best he could ever do, what a brilliant racer! But BOT might better change his sports carrier into bowling...
I was not asked but here's mine. :)
CE28N with NEW GY tires.
f 32.6 lbs
r 38.5 lbs
The complete set is even 10 lbs lighter than 15/16 with OEM Yokos and about 25 lbs lighter than 16/17 with OEM Yokos.
I've had 17/18 before with casted wheels of the 'usual' weigth, heavy Bridgestones and low ET (43/38). Went back to 16/17 with OEM Yoko tires and NO spacers. Quite a big difference as you've noticed as well. 17/18 was faster I believe but 16/17 was more fun to drive, more interactive.
Now very...
RB has revealed that the driver seat broke in the crash. Really lucky for Verstappen. 10 or 20 years ago, he would have been injured seriously.
As things calmed down in the meantime, some kind of summary:
1. it's the first real CS fight for Verstappen, so maybe he should be a little bit more...
Then I have to tell you what Mr. Marko said to the MERC crew: "they are blind". It was Max' corner. Lewis' front wheel/wing to touched the rear wheel of Max' car. Could you please explain me how this is possible if Lewis was ahead?
If you're far behind there are other tricks to win the CS. A slightly bent front wing for MERC and a million dollar bill for RB. Very dirty...Lewis was much too fast for that corner and acted as a bowling ball in that corner.
Pretty boring sprint race. After having watched it, I'm not even sure if I'm going to watch the race tomorrow live or just the summary on Yt afterwards. If they really want to make Silverstone more spectacular they should wet the track and bring the grid girls back.
Not sure what to expect from the sprint race tomorrow. I don't think there will be a hard fight, noone wants to crash his car. No rain to be expected. Might be a boring Sunday too...
