It just Shows how dominant they really are. If they are Fast on Track ahead of everybody with RND and they still have Time to produce this Videos and Explaine everything. That is for me TRUE Dominance.

[@SocietyUnplugged]

@@Erich8101 They have 1,700 employees, that makes them so dominant. Because factories, machinery and materials are all regulated by the FIA, one of the things that are limitless in development is staff. In comparison, Red Bull Racing has "only" 600 employees. I know that only a handful of them are actual engineers, but my point is that Mercedes have more.

[@MercedesAMGF1]

Those comparisons are not accurate as you’re mixing engine and chassis teams. Our chassis team in Brackley is very similar in size to the two companies in Milton Keynes (Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Technology). To compare with our engine team, you would need to add the number working at Honda!

Spetsop f1 2019. It is a very pretty looking game tbh.

[@Spetsop]

@@vatz8341 Thank you, I'll have to check it out!

[@filmandfirearms]

Well, if you use TV footage, you might not get exactly what you want to show. Drivers get 1 shot to get a corner perfect, so a mistake might not work well for their demonstration. In a game, you can take the same corner multiple times with no issues and you can run the track solo. In the race, drivers also take different lines or brake at different points to conserve tires or fuel or to shorten their lap times. A simulation game is a controlled environment
