It’s crazy how fast Mercedes fell off. For awhile they were dominating and now suddenly they’ve turned to shit. All under the same driver.

Reminds me of Red Bull back when Vettel was there.

If P2 in the constructors is shit, I wonder how you rate other teams.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

They were the definitive constructors champ and now they barely beat Ferrari to second place. Also, they actually lost to Ferrari the year before). And that's just numbers. If you look at the last races of the season you'll be hard pressed to put merc car in the top 3. RB was clear first, McLaren was clear second and Ferrari was marginally better than Merc.

I wouldn't be surprised if this year Merc is struggling to stay in the top 3

I mean I wonder if the style of car just doesn’t work for Hamilton’s driving style, so why not pursue another team and see if that changes anything if you’re not comfortable in the car you have anyway?

Gonna be more awkward if Merc comes out strong this year and Lewis is already slated to leave.
