Mercedes time


Source: https://www.tuttosport.com/news/formula-1/mercedes/2020/02/14-66732219/f1_ecco_la_mercedes_w11/?a=3

Well as we can see Ferrari and Mercedes look very similar to last year's car.
These cars are only an evolution from the car of 2019 since the technical regulation is not changed at all.

Need to wait 1 more year to see some visible changes.

I think that is good that the free practices before the official Championship will start soon but these do not show real team power.We have seen in these practices middle or bottom table teams top up the fastest lap of a day.Still these are good indications of where mid table teams are as I am sure top teams will not go full power here.

Yup...  They're just mostly for checking how their car runs on the track and to do some tweaks here and there.  And I guess it's part dog and pony show...?  Fans get to see their favorite teams parading their new cars.

According to Times.co.uk the China's Gp has been removed from the calendar due the coronavirus risks.
They maybe postpone it later on the season.

^^Lovely presentation by Ferrari.
I hope they are going to improve their strategy this season as well.
They lost a lot of races last year due to the lack of strategy or race mismanagement.

@coinlocket$ I’m so glad the season is back and hopefully this time it’ll be more competitive than the last season, and that’s a nice teaser by Mercedes hopefully it’s worth the hype.

I think that is good that the free practices before the official Championship will start soon but these do not show real team power.We have seen in these practices middle or bottom table teams top up the fastest lap of a day.Still these are good indications of where mid table teams are as I am sure top teams will not go full power here.

@swogerino you’re absolutely correct mate as the big teams will only show flashes of what’s coming, but the mid table teams will try and put on a good show for the viewers.

This will be the last season with Valentino Rosso as Driver but the already said today that he wants to ride at least one more year, probably in another team or category?

I think that if Lewis Hamilton wins the 2020 title and becomes 7 times World Champion and will break all Michael Schumacher records then he will try to win also with another team.The best team inline to do that I think we all agree is Ferrari.Also the Championship would become more interesting with such move.

Keep also in mind this: in 2021 we will have a deep revolution on car shapes, engines, tires, etc.

2021 it will be a reset and do you remember BrawnGP back on days?

This is a concept but not too far away from what we will see soon.

Is someone here who believes that Hamilton will join Ferrari from 2021 ? I do at least. I'm a Mercedes car fan and I also love McLaren but I would love to see Hamilton drive that sweet red Ferrari and trying to win the title with them and for them as I'm sure this year Mercedes will be unbeatable just like the years before EVEN IF the Ferrari Engine Test Sound was so damn clear that maybe we will see big surprise and Ferrari might do it somehow. What do you think guys ?

^  As was the case when Vettel kept giving everybody the finger during the RBR era.  And nope.  Bottas def third tier.  On top of my head could be second tiers (maybe and a half) are Ricciardo, Norris, Ocon.

I'd still put Vettel at second tier, with Verstappen peeking at almost top tier.  IMHO.

Yeah, this year should be a tree drivers thing, IMHO.

Top Tier: Hamilton
Second Tier: Verstappen - LeClerc
Second and a half tier: Vettel

Third Tier: Bottas.

From this list, the one with the better car will win.

If Mercedes > Ferrari > RedBull = Hamilton

If Mercedes < Ferrari > RedBull = LeClerc

If Mercedes < Ferrari < RedBull = Verstappen

@coinlockets$ it’ll yet be another disappointing season for me if Hamilton wins it again, because I’m tired of seeing him win the title season after season. Though you have considered Bottas in the third tier in my opinion he can definitely move up to the second tier, but then again I know Mercedes will never allow him to win the race because they’ll always prefer Hamilton winning the race.

I think it will still be the first option with Mercedes being the better team.This will be the case unless the rules changes and I hope they will do it this year to stop Mercedes dominance of the last years.Mercedes has been the winner as it has started the development of the engine before the rules changed in 2013 or 2014.They were ahead of the other teams with the development plan and we all have seem their results.I hope this changes.

^  Best car, big edge.  Put Alonso in a Mercedes, he'd give Hamilton a run for his money.  IMHO.

I'm calling out LTU_btc!  I wanna get a chance to win my 10 bucks back!  Lolol.  You and me, who finishes higher at the end of the season, my Verstappen vs your pick (without Hamilton and Bottas or any Merc driver).  10 bucks...

Gogogo!
Ok mate, I'm in! I don't have many realistic choices, so I should pick one of Ferrari drivers. Let it be Leclerc!
Though, personally I'm not Ferrari fan and would prefer Verstappen finnishing higher Cheesy.

Lezz go!  And it isn't like your forced to bet on a sure loser.  I think Leclerc has a slightly chance to get more points by the end of the season imo.  But betting on Verstappen makes it more interesting.  Lolol.
