I think its never fun to have any dominant team ... Even if you are a fan of that team. Its great to see your favorites win, but it blows if there is no real competition or turns into teammate death match. Seeing great teamwork and seen close competion is way more fun. 2021 season was quiet fantastic to watch (except end of that last race).. 2022 was kind of nice too as there was hope and tems moving around, but 23 was a lost cause at the front and 24 seems to be repeat of 23...the midfield was alot more fun in 22/23 as well but not so at end of 23 and 24 it seems there is alot less going on there...
Switched to tidal as got fedup with Spotify shit app quality, constant breaking when usieng Android auto, and glitching out when playing between pc/android. Tidal is better but missing things. My wife loves alexa integration..so she sticking with Spotify. I am enjoying tidal though. It just works evey time. Its clear why it stops playinga song, and so on. I would rather miss featurs then use buggy product. Spotify is full of random featurs and crap but its buggier then ever...
One other stark difference is the qulaity of of mixes and radio stations tidal puts together..spotify plays same stuff on loop basically, i rarely got anything good thats new and not promoted artist...with tidal i get a huge mix of artists in mymixes and radios, both new and old stuff..its been better for discovery then Spotify.
I wounder how much its also experience, yuki never drove in china in f1? (Dont remember) But the experience gap probably helps Ricardo adopt...doubt its gonna save him or move him to rb though...we shall see next race but with all the rumors going around, if race goes poorly we might see lawson in next gp...
Classic merc in this reg....still no idea what they are doing with the aero of the car. Solid 7/8 place just as at start...
I dont think u can say lewis folded under pressure that car is a shitbox. Noris did get over eager and should have been conservative to have a chance later on as maclaren does have pace advantage on merc..
Its like Ferrari has a second team... Merc does not have a second team. They supply engine and bits to other teams, like Ferrari does to hass, and Alpine used to do. RB right out owns two teams.
Its failure of regulation. Same shit will happen in any system if its not properly regulated and checked...
Did he ever explain why he let George by? Besides reading that he could not turn i did not really get it.... But agreed Merc performance so far was mediocre at best...wounder where they finish in wcc. Last year they were solid 2/3 but atm they feel closer to 4/5....
Another issue is many ppl are just not technically apt or are able to problem solve, so many times they dont know what key words to use for finding a repair guide on google... It almost like a mental block for many...
I really wounder how much edge they had pre 2022 simply due to engine power that let them overcome inefficient aero. RB had shat engines for a long time and invested a ton into aero it seems and now with reliable pu its really paying of for them..for merc though it looks like current pu has same power or maybe less then others and their aero understanding is sub par, even when compared to customer teams.
Did they not bring upgrades? Or were they downgrades...it seems evey race they do worse and worse ... Or others are doing better and better and they are stagnant...
