    It is sad to see them fall back so fast over the last few seasons.

    they were simply the 2nd best Mercedes powered team, they built **** cars for years, though somehow Maldonado won in one of them.

    Could Red Bull get a penalty free PU change? Not that it's really best timing but gives you a bit more usability.

    True but when the new V6 PU's came in they did seem to be good. Maybe it was just that the Merc PU was so much better than the rest in the first 2 seasons.

    somehow Maldonado won in one of them - Somehow Maldonado won full stop!!!!

    Merc really don't look fast enough!!! But Lewis is on Soft tyres!!!

    Is this more about Merc killing tyres and Pirelli making thinner compounds after a request from Merc?

    The McLaren chassis may actually be a little worse than 2014. How it is possible for them to still be this bad?

    It's the dodgy overhead power lines :) Hope you are back on soon.
