Blue Nosed Babe 21,459 Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Mercedes likely to abandon appeal. There is no right of appeal to CAS in F1 so it goes to their own higher ups. Furthermore it has been recognised that an appeal would bring further damage to the sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nosed Babe 21,459 Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Next Season will be interesting. With the soon to be Sir Lewis going for number 8 and Max for number 2. What rule changes will be brought in for next season. Will George Russell be an asset to Mercedes (I hope so as he is a good driver) Who will have the better combination of car and driver. Will it be as tense as this season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going there to win and if he's within arms length with Lewis throughout the season things could get very tasty. Alonso/Hamilton vibes from 2007. Interesting to see how close Mercedes & Red Bull come back to the other 8 teams with the new regulations! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if they could damage it more, but that knob Masi has to go. No way he should be in a job after the debacle of this past season.  Blue Nosed Babe and Bristol loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way should Toto be allowed to tell the RD not to bring out a safety car, or Horner allowed to tell him to get the lapped cars out the way after he had already said he wasn’t going to, or to pressure him for one lap. All depends if the top dogs at f1 want it to be a sport or a Netflix show however… I think Russell will be big upgrade, Perez showed how important a good team mate is and Bottas simply hasn’t been able to help one bit. If George has the chance for the title no way will he sit back to be no2, but come the end of the season if he has to I’ve no doubt he will help his team mate like Checo did. geneva_ger, Blue Nosed Babe, Hadron Collider and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose with Russell being the Merc academy driver, his junior record and the job he did at Williams it was always going to happen. In spec machinery he beat Norris to the F2 title by quite a difference. I do wonder though once Lewis hangs up the helmet will Norris be the next driver Mercedes would like? I reckon a lot depends on what happens at Ferrari for that next Mercedes spot. If Ferrari are happy to continue with Leclerc and Sainz after next year then Mercedes might just make a move for Schumacher. Then I'm sure Gasly would be considered and Ocon because he is close with Mercedes and I'm pretty sure Toto is his manager. The thing is with the budget cap and the changing rules there is every chance Ferrari & McLaren can be just as competitive as Mercedes & Red Bull again. geneva_ger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers_no1 34,601 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Quote  Toto Wolff says he can give no assurances Lewis Hamilton will continue in F1 after Sunday's controversial ending to the title-deciding Abu Dhabi GP. Mercedes' team principal Wolff says Hamilton and the team have been left "disillusioned" by events of the season finale. The Austrian "would very much hope Lewis continues racing" but also suggested Hamilton "will never overcome the pain and the distress that was caused on Sunday".  Aww poor wee Lewis, how will he ever survive... I get why people dislike Horner, but Toto Wolff is a bigger cunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
