Er, you base that on what exactly?
A Mercedes finished ahead of both McLaren's and both Ferrari's and the leading Force India as well as Sauber. So does that Make those four teams even more "stupid"?
JET, as much as I admire your passion for MGP, I can't but advise you to take your head out of the sand.
Rosberg finished where he started. And thanks to Mclaren messing it up again.
A FI on 2 stopper finished ahead of its starting place. Not to speak about the Lotus'es.
I responded to the quote.
Do you think Mercedes are stupid in relation to the teams they beat on Sunday?
In the end I'm using cold hard facts that seem to suggest that if Mercedes are stupid, then so are the teams they beat on Sunday.
Of course the more logical readers/posters will know that is not the case. None fo the mentioned teams are "stupid".
I'm not saying they set the world alight either, but if a little bit of perspective was applied before posting I feel I wouldnt have to set the record straight.
If we go back a week, does this mean Lotus were "stupid" for not brining Raikkonen in earlier? Or Red Bull stupid for not running the new exhaust on Vettel?
It's beyond me how people can level such criticisms at teams when in reality, taking gambles is part of the game.
Hell, had Schumacher not fluffed his lap in Q1 we could be talking about Hamilton missing the cut at Bahrain. Small margins.
And with something as novel as the Merc DDRS if you continuously tinker with it(driver feedback driven) then it is prone to fail.
I have faith in Schumacher yet, he is just going through a rough patch. It will come good, evidently not soon enough for some.
