Mercedes have been cheating for years

[@MartinKillips]

The Mercedes' call to let their drivers fight it out on track was very risky. Piastri was catching both on fresher tyres and Russell's tactic slowed them down allowing Piastri to catch them. The sensible thing to do was let Hamilton through earlier and allow Russell to stay in Hamilton's slipstream, keeping him away from the fast closing Piastri. The fact Mercedes didn't do that suggests they were more concerned with rewarding Russell OVER Hamilton. There's no doubting Russell's bravery, deciding to do the race on one tyre change. But Hamilton had driven the better race right from the first lap when he passed Perez and the second lap when he took the lead from Leclerc. Some might say this is karma at work!

Mercedes need to hold their collective heads in shame honestly. What the fuck are is Mercedes even doing here?

This isn't normal behaviour honestly. It was abundantly clear they tried to engineer this win for George and it shows they have their priorities fucked up. They never told Lewis he was racing Russell and that Russell was on a one stopper until much later. Why even take the bloody risk knowing full well if you are found wanting its a DSQ? WHY? Merc should be focused on grabbing every possible point not trying to engineer race wins for one driver over the other. Its BS and it reeks of desperation. One more lap and Piastri would have overttaken both Mercedes drivers. No team orders given despite that being the best call. Its no wonder Lewis is leaving really.

And he wasnt anywhere in that race, it was Lewis all along. Everyone was expecting, even the commentators, that Russell would be instructed to move aside for Lewis then protect Lewis from Piastri. Instead Mercedes inexicably have them duke it out in a drag to the end with Piastei 1.4secs off. There was no honour in Russell taking that. Today, the better man has really won.

[@laman8914]

Some of the explanation does not fully make sense or maybe we don't understand the technical issues. We do not think the deg on the tires due to the one stop strategy has led to the 1.5kg weight deficit for George. All drivers had to do the same number of laps on the same circuit, why would one driver have such a sizable weight loss on the tires? Alonso also did a one stop on the hard tire just like George, but his car was fine. A more logical explanation is that from the start the amount of fuel in the car might have been less than required and led to a weight gain in the end. For many it was difficult to understand that George was on 34 laps old hard tires and still could keep SLH at a distance on fresher tires. That looked very strange. Also, extracting information from the post race interview, the Merc strategy for both drivers was agreed to be a two stop, and changed to a one stop mid race for George. SLH had also requested a one stop but was denied by the Team. So, it might have been a calculated mistake that ultimately was not successful. However, we must say that George drove a phenomenal race and deserved to be awarded points. But, there will be talking issues within the Merc family during the summer brake.

[@briankennedy7260]

So you suspect Russell started with less fuel than Lewis?

[@briankennedy7260]

But your logic above seems sound.

[@jkbzz]

Bro, don't contradict yourself. George did not drive a phenomenal race because he was a phenomenal driver. He didn't have to overtake anyone on track, that is how phenomenal races are driven sir. If what you say is correct and I have no doubt about it in my mind, then that explains why George was faster than Lewis even with DRS on the fucking straights.

[@wezzzor]

Fuel is removed from the cars and then weighted. So how much fuel you start and finish with is irrelevant.

[@r0der1ck_0nl1ne]

@@wezzzorof course it's relevant. Less during the race fuel means less weight means a faster car. The sample removed at the end is for testing, not weighing. And the car needs to be a certain weight with the sample removed

Research by the team wrt track temp, degradation speed of the tyres, laps remaining and a miriad of other results gathered from practices and past races are all collected and used by race strategist to analyse and put a path for the race, for the team managers and the driver, to formulate their plans such as A, B or C.

To be clear - it is said that an F1 tyre can lose as much as 3 kg/tyre (from 42 kg each to 39 kg each) after a long stint. And in Spa the car is off the grid just after the finish line and has not had the usual opportunity to drive thru the discarded rubber to get some of that rubber weight back on the car. The 1.5 kg of missing weight (1.5 kg/798 kg = 0.18796992 %) is just short of the FIA regulations for car weight. It makes ESPN's headline of "Mercedes' inexcusable DQ...How did Mercedes get it so wrong?" seems quite hyperbolic!

The answer part of your question is after each race some cars are checked for weight (it's sorta "randomly" chosen) so Mercedes probably hoped they would not get picked for the weight check.

All the cars should be emptied of fuel and weighed, then look at the tyre compound, laps done and compare the final weights. Almost 400g from each tyre is a lot of rubber, and those tyres are not very heavy!!!

Not 11 races but 10 remaining

[@whelo1112]

Did know need cheat to win races

[@RoySmith-i7m]

Not respectfully a shock They have been trying to promote George as a better driver than Lewis By cheating I absolutely love George But they are making him look inferior now 😢 Mercedes always looking for the next great thing

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

Although I'm a Max fan, I'm gutted for George. He drove a flawless race. Well done, George Russell. 🏁

[@Distortion-Overdrive]

Yes, but not as flawless as the one who actually won the race.

KARMA

[@mca4u]

Poor George, this was to be his first win on merit, until it wasn’t.

[@MOTIFXF6420]

Carlos S wants to go to Redbull. He only wants to join a winning team he says.

[@truth-hurts888]

Merecedes doesn't want Hamilton to surpass 7th championship. Don't be fooled by its crocodile tears when Hamilton was robbed the 8th Championship. I believe it was a grand conspiracy with Mercedes itself playing victims.

[@princeaddison3302]

Mistake or intention of makeing that mistake made drove incredible. Mate, Toto did everything to rub Lewis for Nico. Again Ver/Lewis Abu Dhabi issue was deliberately neglected just to refuse Lewis to win more than Schumacher. Toto a German abd make no mistake, Toto is preserving Schumacher's legacy. Toto Wolf seem a nice guy but trust me, he is Lewis saboteur.

[@Imhotep_86]

This was a Lewis's race to win though call it "Jammie" or anything but Toto's bet was on GR on tyre strategy fortunately it's LH wins

[@MOTIFXF6420]

This was a good informative video Youngman. Thanx✌😎 The Constructors championship means 10's of millions to the winning team. The Championship itself pays Nothing to the Driver or team.

[@lawball1727]

I won’t be surprised if Hamilton leaves the team at some point this season. The obvious sabotage of his car is a mental health issue and a serious safety concern. Mercedes Benz is looking very nefarious and sinister at this point.

[@DillyPutty]

Sore winner.

[@Anna-gm6zy]

How are they sabotaging him? He wasn’t disqualified for a non regulation car. If Lewis had had this issue you’d be saying that they were purposefully removing bits from his car to have him dsq. I cannot understand the mindset of thinking that a team would sabotage their driver. What purpose does this serve??? They earn money by scoring the most points with most drivers so what could they possibly have to gain by sabotaging a driver? This narrative is absolute insanity.

[@jennings316]

George tried to steal it and it was handed back to the rightful winner.

[@barryalangroves8759]

Lewis deserve the win

[@muzzytt]

If this was red bull you would all be screaming cheats

[@yffadkcud]

another reason formula 1 needs to do away with the FIA
