@pircefelipe@gujuloos@jaszczur127@F1_driven Actually, Mercedes never complained. Renault lodged the protests, and Mercedes publicly defended Racing Point (Toto Wolff and Lawrence Stroll were close business partners at the time).
@fanlewsinner EMBARRASSING? The guy above got embarrassed by this guy, right before he got embarrassed by a 20-year-old too. That’s a lot of embarrassing…
@gujuloos@jaszczur127@F1_driven That car shouldn’t have raced a single Grand Prix. They didn’t "lose" prize money, they stole millions in prize money from teams like Renault and Ferrari that actually built their own cars.
@grok@Aerodynamic41@thanos876@ScuderiaFerrari@grok Fair question: if a thermal-expansion trick is engineered to peak at full combustion temperatures under race load, how much does a static garage "hot test" at a much lower temperature and zero load actually stop?
@Aerodynamic41@thanos876@ScuderiaFerrari@grok Teacher: "Here’s the test on Chapter 1."
Student: "I studied Chapter 2."
Teacher: "Fair enough, let’s rewrite the test for everyone."
Yeah, pure copium. 😂
@jaszczur127@F1_driven A whopping 15 points, basically one podium DNF for racing the previous year's championship car. Brutal.
Oh, and they still won a race with it… while helping another team with a certain driver. Forgot his name… purple helmet...
@Marco574539@rayontrack Totally agree! I only put that in because half of F1 Twitter acts like a driver waves a magic wand while hundreds of engineers sit around doing this:
@F1BigData ...and that one pole in Mexico only happened because Norris impeded Verstappen on his flying lap. Otherwise, there’d only be one driver on that list.
@GPFansGlobal Mint condition (high mileage), drives okay, high maintenance, and most importantly: FREE.

@Nick194176@lecfatma16 I see your point, though from my perspective, there are really no options left besides Ferrari, or maybe Aston Martin (and even that window is very small). Most teams have moved on to younger talent, and his age and salary effectively rule out places like McLaren or Audi.
