So I would be correct in thinking Lowe is replacing Costa's backside, considering that you make him sound so bad back then.
Costa seems to design cars that are well within the rules, which is fine if you're Force India, Sauber etc. What you need to be at the top of F1 is to push the rules and expand them as far as you can.
In some ways I'm glad that the car doesn't look like it has serious potential... This way I'm not going to get my hopes up.
Must agree, Costa aint done a lot for Ferrari, so quite how Mercedes expect him to work a miracle for them, I don't understand. They very much need a McLaren or R.B. man and bloody quickly, oh, is that Paddy Lowe I see heading across the car park !!!!
Come on Bahji, lets not give up on our man quite yet, you being a Yank and all, I thought you guys always took the positive view.
I can't think why that would be. I mean, what connection does Hamilton have with Mercedes these days? Anyone would think he drives for their works team now.
Engineering director, Lowe used to be one before he became TD at McLaren. Sounds like he will be the man to stay behind and totally focus on the future of all the Mercedes F1 cars rather than go to all the races. What I posted when the news came up about Lowe leaving:
[video=youtube;Qw_p7neUfFM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qw_p7neUfFM[/video] I keep thinking it's Schumacher, even with the blatant yellow helmet. So weird for me, and probably for macca fans.
I imagine the drivers will be happy not to have to look in their rear view mirrors so much. 20 years ago it was because he was coming up to lap them, last three years, well, i could say something but it would be very very mean and I'm just not like that.
You have your own opinion, I respect it, to an extent hahaha. Well it would be good for his aspirations, but it would be awkward as heck if Rosberg beats him.
Seems thermal management is the name of the game with the SilverMercedes (Hi Silver ) Donât write them off: New Mercedes W04 technical analysis We shall see
I'm watching you... But anyway, both Scarbs and Tobias Grüner (AMuS) didn't really say anything fantastic and I kind of agreed with them even before those comments, it looks basic, very plain, big and unrefined at the moment regardless what the journalist hype will try to make up. If anything they're starting from 2012 again in my opinion considering how out of the mold they're when everybody else has gone for tight rears and smaller sidepods etc... and no new front wing will sort that out since they are basically starting from scratch this year. My confidence of a "strong-ish" 2013 has been shattered already, but confident the punishment of today will be rewarded in 2014 when the team works together properly for once.
