o proceduri nakon što se ustanovi da je bolid oštećen u utrci....kao primjer za objašnjenje koriste Hamiltonova oštećenja iz Bahraina

[Scuderia]

definitivno su u maloj mini krizi. prosle sezone su bili puno bolji.

3 utrke - oba bolida na postoljima.

[Dani]

Mislim da su se malo uobrazili jer im se inače ne bi dogodilo da nakon promjene mjenjača ne provjere sve komponente motora. Nije mi jasno kako je baš sad otišao taj mgh. Vrijeme je da se uozbilje, jer će inače opet krenuti teorije zavjera i slično.

[F1NAC]

Po navodima na twitteru navodno je problem s Hamiltonovom PU bio u izolaciji MGU-H i neki komadi su se nasli po turbu. Turbo i MGU-H iz te prve PU su neiskoristivi dok ostale komponente ce sluzit za FP.

Pismo posle Sochi-a:

To the fans,

We returned from Russia on Monday with mixed emotions. On the one side, filled with pride at another one-two finish – a rare achievement in the ultra-competitive world of Formula One and something to be savoured but never taken lightly. On the other, pained by a stressful weekend – both behind the wheel, on the pit wall, in the garage, back at the factories and for all of you watching at home.

We have seen a lot of frustration aired online after the mechanical issues experienced in Sochi. We share those same emotions – but for us, it goes far beyond frustration. For those watching at home, a Grand Prix weekend starts on a Thursday morning and ends on Sunday night. A bad result might hurt for a few hours afterwards – but then life moves on. For more than one thousand people at Brackley and Brixworth, however, this is our life. These men and women pour their blood, sweat and tears into racing, day in, day out – often working around the clock and spending weeks at a time away from loved ones. They do so through passion for their work, loyalty to their team-mates and a desire to be the best.

The success we have enjoyed in recent times has not come about by accident. To paraphrase Mr Toto Wolff, we have worked our a**es off to get where we are today – and we have done so as a team. The faces you see at the track are only the tip of the iceberg – but they are a perfect example of just what this represents. They don’t just perform pit-stops together. They travel, share rooms, eat meals, construct garages, build cars, re-build broken cars, kit spares and pack down tonnes of freight – together. They sweat, strain, laugh, cry, shout, scream, celebrate, and commiserate – together. And, as one of our own often says, they win and lose – together. We have the best guys and girls in the world, doing an awesome job, week in and week out – and they do it for the team. Not for one driver or the other – but for each other. There is no ‘A’ or ‘B’ team here. Every single member of the crew has earned their right to be counted among the elite of their trade – and have sacrificed much to do so.

What happened in Sochi showed the world just what a team working in unison is capable of. We were baffled and gutted by the repeat MGU-H failure on Lewis’ car in qualifying. But we kept calm, gathered our thoughts and sprung into action. It took a monumental effort from a significant number of people back in the UK and in Russia to fly spare parts out to the track, fit them to the spare Power Unit by working through the night and make sure Lewis could start from P10 on Sunday without having broken parc fermé. This made Sunday all the more stressful for each of us. But, in the end, we were relieved just to get both cars to the flag.

Shortly after his pit stop, we saw some alarming behaviour from Nico’s MGU-K. We spent a number of laps reassuring him that he had a good gap over Lewis and could ease off before the FIA gave us the all-clear to tell him to switch to a setting that would control the issue. At the wheel, Nico wouldn’t have had any inkling of the stress on the pit-wall. When he put in the fastest lap on the penultimate lap of the race, he was still in that ‘safe’ setting – demonstrating just how much pace the car had last weekend.

Not long after Nico’s issue arose, we started to see the water pressure falling on Lewis’ car. At the time, he was pushing hard to catch Nico and pull away from Kimi – posting several purple lap times in the process. Again, we needed to await confirmation from the FIA of what we could tell him via the radio. After several calls asking him to take it easy, the all-clear came to let him know that he was losing water pressure. With zero – yes, zero! – water pressure remaining for the last 16 laps, the job he did to nurse the car home and still retain second place was truly remarkable. He had to keep the car as cool as possible to avoid damaging the engine whilst also keeping Kimi at a safe distance, which was no mean feat. We genuinely aren’t sure by what miracle the car limped across the line – but we’re certainly not going to complain!

Ultimately, none of this changes the fact that we have not met our own expectations in terms of reliability so far this season. Performance-wise we are right on the money – with a points haul just two shy of what we had managed by the same stage in 2015. But there is work to be done. Our goal is not simply to be fast but bulletproof too. Not just to manage problems but to understand them, fix them and ensure they are not repeated. We are working tirelessly to do just that and will continue to do so every step of the way. But there are no guarantees. This is a mechanical sport, balancing on the knife edge of performance and endurance. You have to push the boundaries and failures can happen.

And then, there’s the bigger picture. Here we sit, picking apart a weekend of various challenges – both on and off track. But look at the result. We should not simply be grateful to see both cars crossed the line but proud and humbled after a team result which quite literally could not have been stronger, thanks to the amazing efforts of the guys and girls in the factories, in the engineering offices, on the pit wall, in the garage and, of course, in the cockpit.

So, four races down, 17 to go. And, from what we’ve seen so far, it’s going to be one heck of a rollercoaster. There will be highs and lows, good day and bad days, successes and defeats. But, through all of this, we stand united as a team – just as we always have. To those who stand with us, we thank you. And to the rest – the haters, the naysayers, the conspirators… if we can convince even half of you of what we really stand for, we’ll consider that a battle well won.

Together, #WeAreW07

Jos rade i budale od navijaca

a rare achievement in the ultra-competitive world of Formula One and something to be savoured but never taken lightly

[Kenny]

Sigurno da nije lako razvit taki bolid

[marcus]

Mislim da im sve ovo nije trebalo. Koja budala misli da je u "safe modu" moguće napraviti 0.6s brži najbrži krug od svih ostalih. To sve ne pije vodu. Barem kod Rosberga.
Kod Lewisa je najbrži krug bio u 36. krugu i taman su ga onda "usporili".

[speedy56]

Mislim da im sve ovo nije trebalo..

Ja mislim da britancima ovo nije trebalo, pogotovo Skyu (a danas čitam da je i BBC imao nešto slično s teroijama urote, ali na nekoj radio emisiji). Mercedes se tu samo brani
Ono - "hej Toto, neki debil koji nema pojma o F1 i motorsportu na Twitteru nas je pitao dal namjerno sabotirate Hamiltona, koji je Vaš komentar" Ne kužim kak uopće mogu s takvim stvarima ići u live prijenos

[Cuky]

a ništa čudno za medije...što je više napetosti to je više gledatelja kojih to "ne zanima" ali svejedno žele znati što se dešava...a što je više gledatelja to je veća zarada...

[Slash]

Da, ne znam, meni je ovo fora - pokazivanje da im je stalo do mišljenja svih, čak i kada su ti ''svi'' neracionalni fanovi sa suludim idejama o sabotaži. Nekako ljudski. Go Mercedes!

novi nos


novi monkey seat i pokrov motora

[F1NAC]

jos jedna slika novog nosa



nema usmjerivaca ispod nosa za scrutineering

[vidc]

nije ni čudo da su dominantni. stalno donose update-e, bez obzira na prednost koju već imaju

[F1NAC]

Kad se mijenja PU onda se upali ovo ogromno crveno svijetlo iznad bolida koje oznacava da samo određeno osoblje moze bit oko bolida

[Cuky]

novi su i usmjerivači ispod nosa

[Cuky]

evo danas kod Rosberga problemi

To koriste i ostali timovi ili samo Mercedes?

evo danas kod Rosberga problemi

Odlučili su odgovorit na najbolji načit teoretičarima zavjere tako da sad sabotiraju Rosberga, ali ipak tokom treninga dok ništa neutječe na sezonu

Vjerojatno samo Mercedes...neki timovi okače oznaku na kameru na vrhu bolida, neki ga ograde trakom sa upozorenjem...svatko ima neke svoje procedure

Znači svi imaju samo svako na svoj način, čemu to? kao da zaštite da se informacije neukradu? mislim kad svaki dobavljač ima par timova koje opskrbljuje lako se može desit da neki od mehaničara pređe u konkurentni tim i s njim odlaze i te informacije

[Cuky]

mislim da je to više da nebi slučajno onaj koji polira bolid krenuo polirati nos, a nije primjetio da ovi zaduženi za PU kopaju po stražnjem dijelu pa da nebi bilo nezgoda poput el. šokova i slično.

[F1NAC]

Navodno Hamiltona mjenjaju za Wehrleina. Hamilton ce ic u manor za Monte Carlo
