Or Daniel. I am really starting to like his attitude. The only negative is the shoe thing.

Hah yeah Danny is a great F1 personality.

How is that a negative esp after he’s stopped it?

I like how Toto Wolfe is questioning the legality of the Ferrari motor. Again showing that Mercedes is no better than a donkeys behind. Bad form.

And Ferrari can veto any rule... gets more money then anyone else. And Christian Horner complained as soon as both of his cars didn’t finish 1/2 in every race. Or questioned legality of anything new on who ever finished 3rd.

It’s F1 it’s part of the show.

If you can't beat 'em, bad mouth 'em.
It's juvenile but yes, all part of the "show"

Ferrari complained about Mercedes and RB's suspension at the beginning of the 2017 season. Basically made RB redo their suspension and Mercedes alter theirs (allegedly). Happens all the time to gain an edge. Either RB or Ferrari complained about Mercedes oil burn during Q last year. It goes both ways.

Also, sad to see Sergio Marchionne pass away this morning.

I think he has a new rule now where he only does it when he wins.

He said maybe not even then.

Oh yeah for sure! I wasn't saying that about one team in particular.
Same goes with the drivers....

Horner is the worst at it though. At least Ferrari and Mercedes hide behind the "just want clarification on the rules" while Horner's complaints are pretty much trying to get Mercedes and Ferrari to lose whatever advantage they have.

When Mercedes supports their driver, who not only hits his own teammate off more than once, but also blames his team for sabotage, and Kimi for intentionally hitting him off, they are done. This has nothing to do with Ferrari or Red Bull. Mercedes needs to put their big boy pants on and run their own program. When Mercedes wins they pat themselves on the back, when they lose there is somebody else to blame.

Apparently RBR and Horner have been running under your radar for a decade.

No, they just have nothing to do with Mercedes and their current line of BS.

Weber blamed the team for sabotage
Vettel and Weber hit each other how many times?
Vettel took out how many people when it was convenient to his WRC?
Red Bull complained more about everyone elses cars then anyone else when they where leading, and even more so when they where not getting constant 1st/2nd.
Red Bull prayed to the god of air Adrain Newey as the sole reason they dominated and mentioned him in every interview, if someone else even got 2nd they complained about the other team cheating... sry... not being in spec...
Lets not forget how many rules they got caught bending like a front wing that flexed to give active aero...

Seriously RBR has the worst record in the past decade.

So your argument is that because Red Bull does bad things, that makes what the Silver Whiners do acceptable?

No im saying it’s not that bad. If anything I’ve seen Merc be positive even when their car was not as good.

Then again I’m in the US so press narrative might be different.

Exciting Q on Saturday with the rain allowed Mercedes to be much higher up the grid then they would have in the dry. Great Q3 drive by Lewis in the rain to take pole. This allowed Mercedes to convert what should’ve been a damage limitation raceto a points extending race. Too bad for Bottas but he’s relegated to #2 the rest of the way. He’s too far back to catch Lewis or Seb at this point barring multiple DNF’s for either.

Too bad for Bottas? He should have been black flagged for driving around with
that busted front wing at the end....

They don’t black flag for wing damage. It has to be really unsafe to get a black flag. His car was drivable and pieces weren’t flying off.
