The Max mafia is giving so much nervous vibes. It’s almost as if they’re nervous for another Ricciardo v Max rivalry. The one where Ricciardo was outperforming Max but Red Bull were head over heels supporting Max over Ricciardo which drove him away. And then all of a sudden Ricciardo doesn’t have the car to do what he was good at and people say he is washed, and Max has rookie teammate after rookie teammate and then midfield pay driver so people are convinced he’s the second coming. I don’t know how people keep up the delusion for years but I’m here to watch it 🍿
I mean let’s be honest. Zhou Guan Yu could’ve been at least a 2 time WDC if he drove the red bull instead of max. Ricciardo could’ve been 3-4x WDC. Just calling it as it is
In the back of my mind I don’t fully believe they don’t know why their car becomes a rocket ship in the cold. If I were them I’d tell everyone I have no idea why and just keep it my trade secret. So hard to tell with all the misinformation campaigns in F1
@@Hodor3746honestly probably something to do with the suspension that works really well I cold but bad in hot. They barley get any tire wear and are very quick
@@bruhhhhmoment4848 Ah good point. Total speculation but in materials science you could study the effect of temperature on different properties like elasticity/bending, tensile strength, etc. Would be awesome if they played with the right composite materials to favorably bend or stiffen based on temperature
they could the W15 was very good at lighting it's tires very quickly in cold temperatures and it had reasonable low drag as it was consistently matching ferrari and Williams in the speed traps
Max doesn’t realise his method worked because he had the better car, which led to him accumulating more points early in the season and put his opponents on the back foot later in the season chasing to pass him on track and on the points ladder. That gave him the box seat to bully them off the road (Hamilton, Norris etc). Based on the later half of the last season, there is 0 chance he’ll be in that position again this year. This season is going to be a proper scrap between McLaren and Ferrari, with RB, Merc and potentially AM
That's red bull all over. Horner has alluded to as much in interviews. The scary thing is if things get repeated enough some start to believe it. Even Max started believing his own hype, when he's been racing low quality teammates most of the time. I don't even know if I can say it's Max or it's Jos instilling in Max his experience with Schumacher. I imagine he said "don't be me son, be your other Uncle Michael". Well we know that it's true really now. It's a shame so many dismiss the teammate issue. Out of everyone with a likely competitive car (top 4 teams) he has the *rookie* teammate who isn't the next big thing. Antonelli is at Mercedes but seen as the next big thing. That remains to be seen, but out of the top 4 it's clear that Max has the weakest teammate again. Hope not, but what does it do to Liam to have to put up with this? Even he seems happy to sing from the Max fan club though. As you said let the results speak, but don't stifle the drivers that may be ok without that pressure, or have better drivers in there in the first place. Red bull freely admitted they don't want that and hence are a boring team.
Albon and Gasly destroyed themselves mentally by trying to beat or equal Verstappen rather than focus on their own performance. Checo is the weakest of the three, but also lost his confidence by thinking he could compete. He didn't have the excuse of being so young, though. What pundits have praised is Verstappen's consistency. Even in 2024, in races where the McLaren or Ferrari was the better car, he wold still grind out good results.
@ "low quality teammate" I don't think Russell or Norris would call Albon "low quality". "It's a shame so many dismiss the teammate issue" Maybe because he finished with double the points of Checo? What people praise in Verstappen is his consistency - much like Vettel at Red Bull, and Schumacher at Ferrari. That's why all 3 have records Hamilton could never achieve, even in 2019/2020 against Bottas...
@ It's long been their strategy to promote young drivers. They get criticised for putting too much pressure on them. When they tell the driver to just focus on their own performance and not worry about comparisons, they still get criticised. When would a team ever expect a driver of 11 starts to go head to head with a multiple champion? The crying and whining about Red Bull is pathetic, just like all the whining about McLaren and Russell. I guess Leclerc will be the target this year.
This is all show. I have lost all faith in Mercedes over the course of this set of regulations. How many times have they said that they understand the regs and they still end up doing nothing.
James Allison is a genius. Everyone in the comments taking the piss out of mercedes clearly don't understand how good he is. Im expecting mercedes to surprise people a bit this season. They won't be competing for the championship, but the car will be miles better than it has been for a few years.
@davidoconnor3201 That’s what was said about the W15 and we’ve seen what that looked like, however I will say that if the temperatures were cool and they could run the W15 low on the way the team wanted then the car was lights out but for the W16 it remains to be seen.
What a ton of Merc copium….and btw when Russel made those comments Newey was already long gone….so Horner and Russel were obviously not referring to newey. They were both talking about “key staff” that was still contracted their future to RB at the time of abu Dabi
Liam needs to just be the driver RB want at the moment. Give great car input, hope the techs make good changes, and dial YOUR car in. Drive it like you stole it. Drive smart and play the long game. Watch and learn from your teammate.
Jos really have a problem, who is he to tell a driver not to fight for the championship? It’s not because he was a bad driver that everyone else have to be!
They've been hiding the real car for ages. I think they're going back to zero pod but revised suspension and floor. They know the benefits of active aero to unlock performance in zeropod in the 26 regs
At this point mercedes are in damage control, they jist lost a very big part of their team in Lewis, how are they supposed to explain to investors why their star driver has left because he has no faith in their future..
Dude, there is literally no F1 news at the moment. All these things have been said before the season finished . They’re all on holidays now and none of them are doing interviews
That is a classic camouflage wrap to stop anyone being able to see the shape, angles and layout of the car. It has been a well-known method that car companies use when a new car design is in the public space and there is a chance images can be captured. As you can see from the image, there is no way of making out any type of shape or design aspects.
To be honest if they could figure out how to make their car as fast in warm conditions as they were in cold they will be pretty consistent but merc haven’t been consistent for the last 3 years so why now!
Didnt red bull launch show the overbite last year? Was that a showcar? I remember some event…the 4 of them standing around the car in jeans 👖 not mentioning the innovative shapes in shadows…
Plot twist. Mercs make a rocket ship but Russell keeps crashing into Kimi, cause he’s faster, and then says it’s kimi’s fault, he turned right into me! 😂😂
Question. Sim racing...are they using new sim for the 25 dev in these races? If so, Ferrari sim racers seem concerned about the poor pace 😮 Concerned, what if developing a car to Lewis' style produces a slower car?
I would not be surprised if Mercedes car improves and come good this coming season, after all their salty car over the past three seasons was a deliberate effort to render Hamilton less competative in his effort for his eight WDC
This is what I want to know, when Kimi eventually crashes his car, which he will, will Mercedes's budget be affected, since 2021, one little crash, Mercedes had no money for upgrades.
Jos was never any good at Benneton, he is trying to rewrite history, his advice is just trying to protect max by stifling any competative ambitions and pour cold water on Lawson
All right guys more drama at RB Suzuki Yuki moto Honda has been told he doesn’t have a ride with RB instead there going togo with JOE Apparently he is to good & RB doesn’t want to hold him back

Okay guys more f1 drama Austin Martin has told Honda there is no way in hell that they are going to let lance stroll go for Suzuki Yuki They sed Suzuki Yuki race pace is not there & has lost more positions then any other driver
Mercedes has proven itself to be quite capable of designing race winning cars, even in seasons when they weren't competitive across a whole season. Mercedes know they have something innovative and want to protect that. Seems fair to me. I personally think they've figured something out and will be competitive this season. (Still rooting for Lewis though.)
"Prodigy" - is a word used by the know-it-all media and content creators. It has to be the most inane and vacuous hyperbole used by those who think they have infuse knowledge and absolute wisdom ... it is a word often used by this creator ...... whatever 🤔

Mercedes shouldn't name their 25 car w16 because w16 was the engine used in the Bugatti Veyron, Chiron, La Voiture Noire,Bolide, Mistral and Centodoeci. Hence It can create copyright issue of Bugatti doesn't catch them😅
Everyone called me crazy but I still believe Toto was working with the FIA to give Lewis a non competitive car on purpose, watch Mercedes bounce back in 2025 now that Lewis is out of there.
I don’t understand how you can be so deluded. There is absolutely no reason for Mercedes to do that at all. Just accept you’re boy doesn’t have the fastest car every year.
Ah, yes, Wolff a shareholder in his own team, intentionally prevented his own team from winning just to spite Hamilton. Genius. It's not like every F1 team ever that eventually fell from dominance after personnel left plus a major regulation change, including an engine freeze after Honda reached parity. Did it ever occur to you that the domination of Merc was not entirely down to Hamilton and Wolff and actually took years to implement based on a combination of factors, or how basically every team in the last 10 years has gone down a path of correlation failure because the sport has become so focused on simulation tools in the hybrid era, when they cut down real world testing? Get a clue, mate. Hamilton isn't automatically supposed to win every championship. It isn't a grand conspiracy to deny him. He got to 7 titles like Schumacher because he was in the right team at the right time, while most of the champions of the sport get 4 or 5 shots at a title if they are lucky, and many talented drivers never get a single shot.
Max doesn’t realise his method worked because he had the better car, which led to him accumulating more points early in the season and put his opponents on the back foot later in the season chasing to pass him on track and on the points ladder. That gave him the box seat to bully them off the road (Hamilton, Norris etc). Based on the later half of the last season, there is 0 chance he’ll be in that position again this year.
