Mercedes will consider using team orders after Monza

In the round-up: Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says the team will consider after the next race whether to impose team orders on Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.



What they say


Wolff was asked whether he intends to impose ‘number two’ status on Bottas, who is 87 points behind Hamilton with 200 available over the remaining races:
I hate to do that. It’s completley against my racing instinct. We try to be always very neutral to both drivers and we haven’t done it yet and we haven’t discussed it.
Let’s see how Monza pans out and how it goes, and then we will address the question whether we need to put all force behind one driver.
But at the moment it we owe it to the two men and to Formula 1 to not interfere into the race.

Bottas vai funcionar como tampão, vão esticar o carro dele ao máximo para as qualificações ficar à frente do Vettel e o inicio da corrida já se sabe.
 
Ferrari’s car “tricks” are not illegal – Hamilton



2018 Belgian Grand Prix


Lewis Hamilton says he was not implying Ferrari’s Formula 1 car is illegal by describing it as “trick”.


Hamilton said the team has “a few trick things” on its SF71-H in the post-race interview after finishing second to Sebastian Vettel in the Belgian Grand Prix. He was describing how Vettel overtook:


“He drove past me like I wasn’t even there on the straights,” said Hamilton when describing how Vettel passed him at the start of the race. Hamilton tried to re-pass Vettel at the start.“I think I could have [passed him] but again he would have sailed past me on the straight,” he said. “They’ve got a few trick things going on in the car. I did what I could, we did what we could and we’ve just got to keep working.”
However Hamilton said later he does not believe Ferrari’s car is illegal. “We all have trick things on our cars,” he said. “Trick is just a word for something special, I guess.”
“I’m not saying that there’s anything illegal on [it],” he added. “I’m just saying we all have something trick.
“Trick is just something that helps you bring that extra bit of performance. That’s all I mean. I don’t mean anything to it so please don’t read into it and please don’t twist my words and say that I say they’re doing anything illegal because they’re not.”


Both Mercedes and Ferrari brought upgrades for their power units this weekend. “We came here with a pretty good upgrade and generally, every time we do bring an upgrade they bring a bigger one.“But we knew they were quick on the straights. They were quicker, particularly in qualifying in the last sector. We’ve known for the last four races or so that they’ve had some things on their car that’s enabled them to be quicker on the straights and yeah, we’ve just got to work harder, I guess.”
Ferrari are “able to deploy more [power], somehow, than us, from turn one [La Source] to Eau Rouge, and then it carries on down the straight,” he explained. “And it’s the same down the back straight. I’m not really sure how but that’s how they are.”


Sebastian Vettel did not indicate whether he believes Ferrari’s engine is more powerful.
“I hope we have more power,” he said. “That’s what we’re working for. If that’s the case then obviously well done to our engine guys.
“I think we’ve been making progress, especially the last two years, so, that’s good news.”

Isso é algo de janeiro de 2017....

Parece-me ter ouvido que o finlandês trocará de caixa de velocidades em Monza e terá assim uma penalização, é verdade? E que outros pilotos serão também penalizados por este tipo de questões? Riccardo? Bottas?

Em caso de abandono por acidente (nos outros abandonos não sei), podem mudar a caixa sem penalização.

Foi exatamente o que entendi das declarações do HAM, que "tricks" nada tem a ver com ilegalidades, mas descobriram algo que lhes dá vantagem e parabéns por isso, a Merc tem de ir atrás do prejuízo!

Estas rachadelas no halo não são um pouco preocupantes? Significa que com outra pancada aquilo partia mesmo?

Provavelmente o Halo do Leclerc não tem fissuras. Os Halo são feitos em Titanium e depois revestidos com carbono para o aperfeiçoamento aerodinâmico. É provável que o que está rachado seja a parte em carbono.

Era suposto o Hallo estalar? Parece que partiu em algumas zonas, não sei como conseguiram colocar um autocarro de dois andares em cima daquilo sem partir[:D]

Para Monza ou a mercedes tira um coelho da cartola ou então vai ser comida novamente pela Ferrari. Grande evolução da Ferrari mas ainda sem aquela supremacia que a mercedes desmonstrou bem recentemente, mas a seu tempo[;)]

Gosto particularmente de ver o Hamilton nesta situação, principalmente para sentir o que os outros sentiram quando a Mercedes andou a passear durante anos, trabalhem...

A questão é que essas declarações dão a sensação de que, para o Lewis e para a marca da estrela, cada vez que a Ferrari consegue ter vantagem sobre a Mercedes, é devido a truques, e não a um desenvolvimento natural e necessário do carro.


Ora, o dicionário on-line Priberam explica que o substantivo masculino pode ter os seguintes significados:

1. Acção destinada a enganar ou a conseguir alguma coisa. = ARDIL, ARTIMANHA
2. Acção ou técnica para criar uma ilusão (ex.: truque de cinema, truques de magia).
3. Maneira hábil de fazer alguma coisa.



Já não é a 1ª vez que o Hamilton, James Allison, Toto Wolf ou o Lauda têm estes comentários depreciativos, que depois tentam corrigir com desculpas apaziguadoras perante a pressão da imprensa...Lamentável e desnecessário! O Arrivabene bem lhes explicou em Inglaterra como se comportarem como gentlemens, mas parece que o recado caiu em saco roto...

P.S. E a Scuderia ainda não venceu nada, o que farão e dirão se o fizer...
