You Max fans better control yourselves. The guy didn't even race there and you want to name a corner after him? Schumacher esses weren't named after him before he raced on Nurburgring 😂

Don't worry RB have a few tricks also,won't be so easy for Merc like previous years I think and at least we like Seb eh.Then...there's the possibility of some races being cancelled possibly.

They probably have two versions of the part. It’s probably more for cooling than aero. Always worth a try and see what you can get away with.

Didn't James Allison come out and said that his new rear suspension has some interesting aero advantage? Do you think that's what he meant or something else?

Maybe something else? I think it’s more major suspension and allowing more room for aero parts. Not as minor as brake ducting, though the suspension likely made room to try things like this.

Yeah . I heard about it as well . With DAS the Merc has also more weight in the front of the chassis . Probably the Merc's nose will dive a little more under extreme braking .Personal I think (how I understand DAS) Under extreme conditions it will accelerate the wear of the front tires .

Thats right because of the constant toe in and out.

I'm pretty sure they can't use it constantly .Tires would be shot in no time . They will use DAS only in crucial moments .

Of course that's my technical speculation from DAS ...
Advantage they will have , otherwise Merc wouldn't use it . But they will get a downside as well....
Anyway , within a few days we will see

I'm not sure if you heard the new Honda power source . Well my friend , it sounds very...very powerfull !

I was like .....What ?!?!
Well..I don't want to spread panic , she actually said probably 60-70% of the Germans will get the corona virus , it's unstoppable and there is no vaccine !
Over here the virus is going fast and as we know also in the rest of the world . That's why I'm pretty sure a lot of races will be canceled ...
