Can’t wait to have your guys & girls opinion!!

Does Mercedes have a problem when attacking / driving fast; to the limit with the W17 ?

As a remainder:

-Russell power unit breaking down Canada…

-Kimi ´s power unit in Barcelona…

-KA suspension & GR tire in Silverstone
I don't see that the tyre can be attributed to the car in particular.

But they do seem to have worse reliability than the other top teams.

The issue that occurred to Kimi at Silverstone has set off alarm bells at the FIA and prompted the other teams to point fingers, suggesting greater scrutiny; this is where this new ban regarding the suspensions would originate, but further details will arrive in these coming days
