The problem is on car... But the strategy boss I think that is one of the heaviest problems that Michaels has too... IT'S ALL FRUSTRATING!

Why? Schumacher had a shout of a podium today if the tyres could hang on. They didn't. Not a strategists fault when you only have 1 practice session to go on.

Today, with a good strategy Michael would finished on the podium... or not, because he has lost the sixth gear right now... hahaha it's lamentable

but why take the risk? we KNOW that the car isn't good on tyres...........the chances of them making a 1 stop work were ALWAYS slim, they already had to stop schumi on lap 19.

they would have been better off from the outset 2 stopping.

Be realistic, no he wouldn't have. The car is not good enough, simple as that. He would've finished P5/P6 max anyhow.

Coping Kimmi's strategy he probably would have finished on the podium or 4th...

dude we don't know what happen if he had same strategy with Kimi ..... maybe he push to much when fight with Kimi and Hulk. It's a disappointing strategy ... car today was on nice pace not for win but he can finish easy in top3-5.
I still think how could they believe that he can finish the race with only one stop .... that's probably mistake of the season for Michael race engineer

Who cares? They did not deserve the podium, if they had got it it would've been down to fortunate circumstances for them - not because of their real pace. Alonso, Hamilton and Grosjean taken out at the start whom would've had stronger pace than the Merc.

yea guys with 2 stop strategy schumi could have finished a bit higher, but nevertheless great stuff by him. for nico i think he did best he could given that he had gearbox problem and no runs to set up the car.

perhaps we can expect a top 10 finish for both cars in monza but lets hope from singapore onwards they have some good updates in car.

this car atm is horrendous ... so painful to watch torro rosso blazing past mercedes. thats just horrendous

btw thanks for a bit of a explanation on Lotus style DRS that mercedes is or plans to implement... forgot poster name.

are you serious? that's race who cares about Alonso Hamilton Grosjean??? also Micheal was out for many races in first part of season.

At his last Belgian Grand Prix he could be on podium... what a nice story we missed.

The only races that can take Michael are these because the car is a shitt
