Mercedes has been invited, they just declined to take part.

ImplicitAssembler posted:That is simply not true. Refueling allowed to cars to drive fast from the get go, rather than tip-toping around 10 seconds off the pace, as they're logging 100kgs worth of fuel and any attempt at going fast will destroy the tires. Refuelling also made it more dangerous and except for a fire it adds nothing to the show.

1500quidporsche posted:Has there ever been a new team that came from another high profile racing series though? Closest I can think is Manor/marussia/virgin and they literally had zero dollars for a budget. Haas isn't exactly a HRT or a Caterham, they've got some idea as to how to go racing successfully. They aren't going to set the world on fire but I wouldn't be suprised if they got past Manor and Sauber this year. To be fair they got tricked with a 30 million budget cap promise.

As we all know, after Williams disappointed us in slightly damp weather in 2014 I realised Mclaren was the unbeatable #1 team. I have to say though, sandbagging for the entire 2015 season to surprise everyone in 2016 was ridiculous.

Yeah, RB were just spergs trying to hide their aero. Berger has gone soft in the heda quote:Gerhard Berger believes Rosberg is better than the rest of the current drivers in the field, with the exception of his team mate. “With any other driver as his team mate, Rosberg would have probably won the last two world championships.” Further, the ex-Austrain F1 driver believes Rosberg’s close of 2015 form can trouble his current team mate. “Hamilton appears to be walking on a tightrope,” says Berger. “He always appears close to losing his nerve so if Nico succeeds in rattling his confidence, then he will have a chance [of winning the WDC]”.
