What else can I say?
I hope mick stays the reserve driver.
lando norris has traumatised me too many times. on the edge of becoming a russell fan. reasons why: way more humble
Seems like he really cares about the sport - hope he sees a race day soon
There are a lot of "Mercedes fans" who claim will follow Lewis to Ferrari so I wonder if there are any people like this here and if they are, where this decission came from?

We all know a sprint weekend is the worst type for learning about upgrades and how to set the car up with them as you only have 1 solitary practice all weekend.
USA: a sprint weekend and to make things to debut the upgrades. To make things worse Russell smashed his up in qualifying and Hamilton was out on lap 2.
Mexico: a race so high up that teams bring Monaco wings and only get Monza downforce back in return already making for weird data. Russels car did not have the upgrades this weekend. Hamiltons car had a non F1 driver in P1, it then picked up floor damage skewering any data gathered for the rest of the weekend. P2 was on 2025 tyres for the first hour.
Brazil: another sprint weekend that was also a washout.
The coming race will finally be at a "normal altitude" track, with 3 conventional practice sessions to fully set the car up properly, with the upgrades on both cars and likely to be dry.
It may not change much but it's strange that there have been 3 sub optimal race weekends for data and set up since the upgrades were brought.
If Hamilton and Russell get banned, I'm going to be very upset. I'm a new fan, but I don't understand how Mercedes continually makes little mistakes with the regulations and hurts their drivers.
Besides that, George wanted to stay out, and the team brought them in.
This team won eight straight championships. I feel like they should know these kinds of things by now and it's very frustrating to watch.
