Congrats to Max. That was proper, solid drive from him to ace the race. He thoroughly deserved the win.
So much for Mercs version 2.1 engine and all it added "goodness".
It seems complacency has set in with quite a few unpardonable strategy errors, parts not meeting specification and so forth. You get the feeling of a team in limbo. Heads will surely roll now.
Calm down its gearbox and fuel presure problem.
My point is only buttressed by the fact that it seems to have affected not just one, but both cars. So, you have strategy and engineering fails thoroughly trashing a race that was theirs for the taking, losing valuable constructor and driver points.
The last time it was folk getting dimensions of the engine wrong, today it was a shocking strategy failure and an equally shocking double DNF.
Something has become old and tired at Merc. After today, Ferrari now leads both constructor and drivers championships.
