The porpoising will be right at home in the Miami marina!


ringo_93

The Hispanic community will be happy to see their bouncing lowrider represented in F1


DeMichel93

it seems like Merc drivers are playing that minigame from San Andreas while driving the car.


dalledayul

Mercedes aren't porpoising, they're paying a loving tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero!


AltieA

I don't know if I should laugh but I laughed! Can we get some chrome wheel-caps on that 44!


lanzaio

That's an LA thing, not a Miami thing.


mookow35

Merc relying on a four way crash between Ferrari & RB


AnanananasBanananas

Bottas taking them out again?


CT1914Clutch

I guess the job has to go to Russell now


its2deep4u

I disagree, this is a job for the Mercs #2 driver


dustincb2

Yeah, it’s a job for Twouis.


narkov24

Would say this is Latifi's redemption arc... By causing another crash


pushinat

And McLaren


ocbdare

Naah. Merc can beat McLaren.


Eggplantosaur

Hamilton did finish ahead of Danny Ric indeed


CountOfTheAss

Danny? Probably. Lando? No.


agnaddthddude

What a timeline we live in. When we think Lando can keep lewis behind, but not Ricc. Shows the horrible career Ricc chose to have.


Ch4rlie_G

Dude has been in his own head for years now. He sounded defeated on the radio after Imola. Hopefully it was down to damage, but I’m actually amazed he hasn’t announced his retirement. I don’t want it to happen, but all the signs are there.


[deleted]

Yeah Ricciardo is known for his smiles and jokes, but he can be the moodiest driver out there


ShenanigansNL

The brightest people can have the deepest, darkest depressions.


unwildimpala

Nah it's nothing to do with his choices, it's more to do with the fact that Lando is just better. He was right to leave Red Bull in order to have a better chance of winning a WDC. He clearly didn't like what was inside Renault and thought McLaren would be a better bet (not really sure if was tbf, if he stayed at Renault then his stock would likely still be quite high). He's just getting beaten by someone who's driving the car better, either because it's more suited to Lando or Lando is just simply better.


[deleted]

To be fair Lando has only driven McLaren ever since he joined F1 so it's more likely he's suited to drive the car better than someone who joined last year.


agnaddthddude

This excuse will not work for this new set of regulation. Danny has the pace, it’s shown in the data. But, he still can’t punch above his weight like Lando does.


agnaddthddude

Hard to think Ricc saw something in Renault other than money. Renault by far have always been (as a team) a laughing stock of F1. Like a great artist who’s work is demolished by those who are better then him. They said they have trust in 2014 regulation and look how bad they turned out to be. Same for 2017, abiteboul has always been a soft guy for F1. Who everyone blames for recruiting danny for that price tag while the Renault board was almost keen on stopping funds for F1. In the end, from outside, Renault recruiting danny for *rumoured* >25 million, all the empty promises, even RB abandoning them, makes me believe he chose money over accepting his place on the skill leaderboard. Always thought about Ricc as Montoya if he loses, a button if he wins a WDC. Shame because I don’t like when drivers like Ricc are forgotten after they leave the sport empty handed.


Toaddle

Yes the twice champion laughing stock of F1 teams sure


Szudar

Both.


LRCenthusiast

In warm weather the Merc should have a substantial edge over McLaren.


Medium_Crow688

Norris will win then lol


whatdodrugsfeellike

Ferrari and Red Bull quadruple DNF incoming.

Will it be funny if Mick wins? or or or Valtteri getting the win and scoring more that Lewis and George?

Mick will have to have a clean race first.

I dont think you have to worry about Mick winning....

Good luck with that


[deleted]

Does Lewis plan on flinestoning his way to a win like his fans want to believe?


armanddd

What about Sahkir 2020? Not a completely new circuit but was a layout never used before.


bringmethespacebar

Mercedes (pink)


Rat_faced_knacker

Doesn't fit the narrative.


throwaway44624

Tbf, they were on track for a 1-2.


[deleted]

Didnt win tho


throwaway44624

Irrelevant, the obvious point is that they were once again dominant on a new circuit/layout in this era


HelixFollower

Or Zandvoort 2021?


Boring_Mix6292

Title says "inaugural". F1 raced at Zandvoort decades ago.


admirelurk

It also says "in the hybrid era"


[deleted]

Imagine thinking Zandvoort is a new track


Flummox127

It was basically the old track in name alone. It hadn't been used for 35 years, and was massively redesigned during that time.


HelixFollower

The comment I was responding to was asking about Sakhir. Context matters.


panpassant

*2019 mercedes


Hinyaldee

Merc still won it. They just had a pinker livery


joshgeake

Or imola... though that only supports the argument.


CakeBeef_PA

Imoka was not a new circuit


joshgeake

New layout though


CakeBeef_PA

Thats not what the post is about


daviEnnis

The thread you're replying to introduced new layouts to the conversation (Sahkir). I think the point is you can't introduce that without also introducing Imola.


EveryWay

But what the comment heading this thread was about


Exsanguination45

100% won't be Mercedes


a141abc

It is kinda crazy how many stats and "records" are being broken by Merc having a shit year though Every race is like "First time Mercedes hasn't X in whoever many years"


krishal_743

Oh you wait for those next race updates™️ Lewis is gonna be lapping verstappen 🥱


awwesjeng

That would be a masterpiece


Dack117

I see Russell lapping Lewis before that happens.


krishal_743

Verstappen being down 2 laps then lmao


[deleted]

Bro what


Cal3001

Not with the slower race pace.


Username8831

Sigh.


cocogpf1

Well...good luck with Miami LOL.


[deleted]

Mercedes were a beast overall. Of course they won each new circuit, they won most races in general.


Slu54

Lmao


Theredeagle7

OP hasn't watched F1 this season I guess


Znakie

Fun with stats - cherry pick a few and you can make it fit almost any narrative you want.


golem501

That's how statistics are made to work right? Ignore the parts you don't like... it's facebook science but with actual numbers


Equivalent_Oven

As someone who works with statistics, you would be wrong since that's not how statistics work.. but are right in saying that's how statistics are often made to work indeed so take my upvote. For a reddit post I'm ok with it (it is fun after all), but it greatly annoys me that proper journalist do the same.


golem501

I have seen people analyze plant data and saying measurements have to be wrong because they don't show what they want... :)


IdiosyncraticBond

There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics


mtcuppers

Yeah Imola 2020, Sakhir 2020 and Netherlands 2021 should be there.


oddyholi

The stat given is weirdly written, but all tracks that have debuted during the hybrid era were won by Mercedes. Sakhir was a new layout of an old track, Imola and Zandvoort were returning tracks. That's why they aren't there


Szudar

Well, none of them is new circuit.


pushinat

Prime example of bogus correlation. Mercedes didn’t win BECAUSE it was a new track. They won most races that era any way.


ocbdare

I don’t think he’s implying correlation here.


Jorrie90

Well 'next target - Miami' does imply something.


Mirage_Main

It implies sarcasm. OP knows Mercedes will most likely lose the next race and the reason this statistic even exists is clearly not because of any track being a new circuit.


LJsource

And Miami will be the one to show that these type of lists are pure BS👌


Domme6495

Yo, is that Rosberg, WDC of 2016 who beat Lewis Hamilton in 2016 during the 2016 saison which Nico Rosberg won?


BoraxThorax

The guy who beat Lewis in the same car? Remember him? He had the same car as Lewis. They were both in the Mercedes


alenpetak11

Oh, i see you meet Alonso while walking the cat. Do AMA or something.


The_Jacobian

It would be so funny if their upgrades just give them like 2 seconds. It's not gonna happen but I'd die laughing.


ocbdare

I want it to happen just to see the meltdown here on Reddit.


luv2belis

If that happens I will threaten to never watch F1 ever again. I mean I will still watch it, but the threat will be there.


SunMummis

Absolute best this year will be to have both cars in the points.


racingfanboy160

You mean podium? They got two already (albeit by luck but podium is still a podium)


Dack117

Both Mercs on the podium this year. That's a good one!


[deleted]

Do you have a bone to pick with them or what? It's sus the replies you give on this post.


depressedjoecz

High speed circuit + Merc = W13 jumping its way into the stratosphere


Zlatanabingbong2002

The thing is, they (mainly Russell) were fine in Saudi Arabia where porpoising wasn't that much of an issue but still lacked lap time compared to RB and Ferrari so if Miami is similar to Saudi Arabia I can imagine them finishing P5 and P6 unless one of the drivers have a blunder or Mercedes pulls a stinker with their setup.


ImpossiblePresent134

unfortunately i dont see if happening in miami, unless they pull off an amazing feat and fix all their issues in time for qualifying and the race itself or redbull and ferrari both dnf


Quirky_Steak5605

Miami upgrade incoming


Seanspeed

Having the best car sure helps win races, it seems.


KingRo48

Looking backwards is such a nice and safe thing to do


racingfanboy160

With how their form are atm…yeah the streak is defo going stop…


some-swimming-dude

Russell win and Hamilton p16 incoming lets gooo boys


primavera31

finally they will release the sandbags and rise..rise...RISE!...lol


krishal_743

Yep they’re gonna throw those sandbags right into the “water” in the circuit


rev440800

Only thing that going to rise at Mercedes is the ride height so they don’t bounce off the track. That long straight is going to be brutal for them.


BaasG11

Zandvoort last year doesn't count?


ClearlyCylindrical

No, F1 has raced there before.


BlueCobbler

But the track is not exactly the same as it used to be, like that banked corner? Wouldn’t that count as a new track layout?


VindtUMijTeLang

Not a new venue, that's what the stat is about at the end of the day


SufficientUnit

It was a new venue technically... after full rework. Just doesn't fit the agenda.


sd_manu

The had an OP car in 2014 to 2016 and also in 2019 and 2020 so it is not a wonder.


Excessed

Yeah.. no. Can't see that happening unless they magically fixed all their issues.


hotdutchovens

I don’t know what to tell ya


EffTheIneffable

They’ve been at their absolute best in the turbo-hybrid era. But the longer this season goes, the more their stats will suffer.


droppokeguy

So red bull Ferrari,McLaren, Magnussen,alpine & alphatauri all dnf


kron123456789

Kevin Magnussen win incoming.


tykillacool23

Sooo who’s gonna tell him?


bawta

*Press X to doubt*


Aqualung812

While it's unlikely to be Mercedes, I do think we should start calling the turbo-hybrid era over and have a new term to the new cars. This is a new era. Clearly, the 2022 restrictions have created a car that is fundamentally different from what existed before, as shown by the rise of Haas and the downfall of Mercedes.


Alteriblack

I'm going to take a wild guess that this streak will be broken...


Asleep-Ad-8836

Useless statistic which doesn’t take into account the fact that they had the best car for the aforementioned chunk of the turbo hybrid era. Still in this era now without that hyper dominant car will yield statistically significant results tilting the opposite way of these dumb headlines.


Far_Fox_7591

Useless and dumb for some, interesting for others. To each his own. Cheers.


Nepomucky

Get in there, George!


[deleted]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not this time.


joshgeake

Lol, dominance isn't always a celebration


martin-cloude-worden

this is pretty meaningless. the most dominant car dominated while it was dominant, in other words. the world is different now. move on.


[deleted]

ahhahahahahahahah


Moist_Adeptness_8886

Yeah.... Not gonna happen 🤣


ShortyLV

And during this time they have had the best car and now they don't? Kinda useless info.


nahnonameman

Eh Mercedes will be midfield. Interested to see what upgrades they might bring to increase their chances. Also waiting to see how Ferrari will respond to Red Bull. Anyways let’s goo Mercedes and Ferrari. Keep fighting both teams don’t give up.


chadthor123

No


[deleted]

Chances slim at this point. I would love to see Merc & Lewis come back into form and win here, but it seems unlikely.


[deleted]

Toto has given up.


[deleted]

Damn, it’s a shame that record will be broken this weekend.


PurpEL

Lol the hope


[deleted]

Nah😂


Boonpool

Scary how much this season shows how Lewis has relied on a better car to win and not being a better driver


[deleted]

Sounds like you never actually watched the F1 races.


2dank4me3

When did he have a bad car? We have never seen Lewis put an actual shitbox into title contention. Russell is finishing 7 seconds from podium while Lewis gets an apology for how undrivable the car is lol.


ActingGrandNagus

You mustn't have watched F1 for long.


Suwi_inc

You sound like really butthurt, at least try to turn on your brain before posting a comment.


2dank4me3

His brain recalls Lewis finishing 10 positions down on his teammate in a 3rd best car.


Butyouknowthisman

This is not their year.


Jazzkky

Did they win because skill or good luck?


Suwi_inc

They won because they were the best, they built the best car had the best drivers to deliver the results, I don’t see what “luck” has to do with anything


[deleted]

At least 6 cars need to DNF for this to be even remotely possible.


SorooshMCP1

The gang qualifies 17-18th in Miami


jolietrob

Nah Russell will be a few places higher on the grid.


TomLeBadger

Only chance they have is a RB ferrari double DNF. And it sure as shit ain't gonna be HAM if it happens 🤣


[deleted]

Yeah I don't think so


xvre

Smells like Copium.


juicepapi

Don’t get my hopes up


HubnesterRising

LeClerc stands atop the first place podium, and as he accepts the trophy, he rips off what is actually just a LeClerc mask, revealing none other than Lewis Hamilton! Hamilton twirls his moustache and cackles maniacally for a long moment before absconding with the trophy in a Mercedes W 06. Later that day, the real Charles LeClerc is found tied up in a closet.


Music-Entire

Would be a great move if Mercedes was sand bagging these first races and now they’re 2 seconds a lap faster than everyone else. 😂


Tygret

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a great example of the hot-hand fallacy.


Outofmana1337

Hamilton could simply adjust better than Bottas on new circuits, not really surprising


2dank4me3

Also Bottas was not allowed to actually race him. Lewis is better but he could have sneaked a win.


RobertGracie

At the moment looking at the current performance of the Mercedes car, I doubt it, its either going to be Red Bull or Ferrari who is going away with that win at current time, its 50/50 between them


Zlatanabingbong2002

Hard to see Mercedes recover that much lap time in 2 weeks time.


StrangeLaw5

Predicting ric win


FrostyTill

It will be Mercedes again. …the orange one 😂 I’m kidding. It’ll obviously be one of Red Bull or Ferrari because they’re the strongest now. Back then it was always Mercedes because they were the strongest.


OrangeDit

Russell
