    I cannot even remember the last technical DNF of Hamilton's car.

    At posters they´re well behind.

    Oh, well, every downfall begins with something little.

    I think a total of 4 in the hybrid era. Unheard of reliability.

    Though not completely surprising, Paddy Lowe confirmed the other day that since 2014 Mercedes has been running extremely conservative power as they where worried FIA would take action.

    The “transport” wheels were much cooler in the old days. Sorry for OT, but thought it would be fun to share:

    I guess reliability will be the deciding factor and I don’t see how Max could compensate for that in a season of 23 grand prix ..

    Wheelbase of F1 car and large SUV is the same. Heck I remember when an F1 car was only 9 feet long !

    RedBull....old side vane and floor

    New side vane and floor

    Red Bull bring a large aero update to the flanks of the car for Portugal. The sidepod vanes and Venetian blinds are reshaped. While the two element flaps over the curled floor edge are extended fore and aft.

    Why is Tsunoda's name mispelled ?

    And it looks like Honda has a bit of a reliability problem. I wonder what kind of hare brained new rule they will have to put in place if Honda reliability destroys RB and AT chances at titles this year ?? making <possibly> the greatest chance of a title fight vanish into thin air ???

    Tsunoda's name is not misspelled. I forgot what country, I believe it's Czech or Dutc(not sure), spells his name like that fyi....that's where the diagram comes from

    Yeah, reliability will be an issue for Honda.

    Somehow this chart has translated in ''advantage: Red Bull"

    More isn't better in this case...
