Mercedes AMG F1 Team 2012

[1158]

It doesnt matter if he starts in top 10 or outside.

Nico will lose some positions and Michael will win some so they will meet each other in lap 15 and after the first stop they both will fall back to p11 and p12 waiting till Michael car will have another gearbox or DRS failure.

Anybody want to put money to prove im wrong?

I suspect you are right which is really a shame. What a waste for both MS and NR.

Mercs pace are falling back race after race. They are now, what 7 - 8 team according to race pace...?

[mep]

Rosberg at least managing to get into 'Q3 but again Schumacher not making it around in time ...unbelievable...schumacher asked several times if he is going to get another lap ...lousy timing ...the driver is not well placed to judge how quick he needs to go to make that call...

Apart from the inbox part, which I assume, it was like this:
[Driver is in the Box]
Team: "Michael you have 2 flying laps, use the first to condition the tires, we go out in x minutes"

<Heard in teamradio on TV>
[Driver is in his 1st flying lap]
MSC: "Do I have another lap?"
Team: "Negative"
[Driver comes to Box after crossing the line too late]
Team: "Sorry Michael"


But the team already blamed Michael, they said he used Kers wrong.

I did not watch the qualy, so did that seriously happen again?
That is the third time they where unable to solve a simple algebra calculation.
Does anybody have a video of this so we can keep prove of their incompetence.

Does anyone here think Aldo Costa may of been a bad buy? or is it a collective that has lead to such a disappointing season for the silver arrows?

Lol, make it p11-p12

[Dragonfly]

He had a puncture.
But I am not surprised anymore.

[Joie de vivre]

4th race in a row with zero points for this team =D>

[clipsy1H]

maybe Daimler should decrease budget to motivate them.... when you have to much money do mistakes and don't care about all things.... how's possible Fi Sauber and Toro Rosso with less than a half your budget beat you constantly.
it's a shame for Mercedes history !! what happen with team right now. They are in a black hole ... really now i pray next car w04 will be better (but i have my doubts)

[Dragonfly]

I pray for the opposite. The sooner they go down the drain, the better.

[Ganxxta]

I pray for the opposite. The sooner they go down the drain, the better.

+1

Btw. only 12 Points for Sauber now

[marcush.]

without the puncture Schumache would have had a chance to fight kobayashi maybe....so this time they were indeed a bit unlucky..but looking at the times schumacher did not really fly on fresh rubber ,did he?

[FoxHound]

I pray for the opposite. The sooner they go down the drain, the better.

Quite pathetic how you can hold 500 people's livelihood in such contempt.
Have your opinion on the team, fine, but to show such malice and disregard for people is disgraceful.

[Ganxxta]

You have to take into consideration that he was 8th or so after Hamiltons DNF, after the whole Perez, Grosjean Webber etc incident.

Before that he was still outside the Points, so yes he was unlucky with the puncture, but lucky that several guys in front of him crashed. Both not MSCs fault, the car is simply too slow

Without their crash he wouldn't have a puncture, but he would still be behind all of them and outside the points.

Anyway, 4th time in row 0 Points for the team, this year only HRT, Marussia, Caterham and Toro Rosso managed the same...
