    Cheers. <ok> To link to a post click the post number in the top right corner of the post and then copy the URL in the address bar.

    Yeah their tyres look in pretty good nick there. You can't really compare between the cars though because you don't know how many laps they've done, they're not even using the same compounds.

    Merc are playing for the engine changes coming into play next year. Thats's what sold Hammy. This is his year to get used to the team

    Yes but I don't think that's the whole story. They can't write off a season and they must improve on last year because there's a lot of pressure on them from above within the parent company.

    Agree with this Stuttgart will not take another season of failure regardless of this year being an evolution of last year in terms of the cars

    It's the race at the factory that teams need to win as much as on the track and Mercedes need winners at both

    It simply cannot be possible for Hamilton not to win races this season, the driver's have been the missing ingredient at Mercedes, Hamilton could also inspire Rosberg into regaining his full potential.
