Marko,former Merc boss Norbert Haug,Gerhard Berger and Ecclestone are urging Wolff to drop title appeal

FormulaMMM · 12-15-2021, 05:46 AM

Should have urged Bottas to find the gas pedal. Within 23 seconds of HAM is all they needed.

Bot is already driving the Alfa

Seidl has now jumped to Michael Masi's defence

M5Rick · 12-15-2021, 06:37 AM

Apparently Merc is refusing to have it's cars present at the trophy presentation gala tomorrow meaning it's cars will be missing on the 2022 F1 Calendar. They have won the constructors and I don't know if this childish action will put in doubt their sportsmanship to receive the '21 constructors title.

It's not clear who won the constructors championship. The rules that govern it can be modified at any time to say anything so there's no way to know who won.

Maybe Chevy won it for the C8 Z06, it's a nice car.

Agreed. Having already prematurely assumed the WDC, Merc should hold off on WCC celebrations until Chevy exhaust the appeals process.

True, but it's not just Chevy appealing. BMW feels their new M3/4 X-drive is a masterpiece and should have won them the constructors title. Lamborghini's Sián Roadster is also a strong contender. The rules never provided clarity if bicycle manufacturers are also allowed to compete... incoming protest from Cannondale and Kona.

As an avid mountain biker and cyclist, also agreed. Glad we could find common ground.

I recruited Dutch people at the company , I even have Dutch friends .

The Belgians tolerate a lot more than the Dutch ..
In other words : In the Netherlands the people would kick your A$$ for your personal humiliating statements !

Carry on ...

For example : From last weekend ,This is a "MERCEDES ML" in the Netherlands"
