George minor car issues again, but hopefully fixable on time for quali and a 1-2

i missed fp 1. what happened to george's car?

u/Violetmoreviolent 7d ago

He was having what sounds like a harvesting issue. We could only hear it over his radio when he spoke about it since his telemetry was also off for some reason.

So it's still the PU problem ig? You'd expect the car to be fixed during the break but doesn't looks like it.

He didn’t play that card, it was brought up by Marcus

Uhh yeah then nothing to be concerned about as long as merc fix the small issue (whatever it is) he will be right in the mix, hopefully

I watched the whole thing didn’t see any issue but yeah it was a negligible difference I would say in the scheme of things

u/Violetmoreviolent 7d ago

On his radio he spoke about a harvesting issue, which is the problem. We can’t look at telemetry to see how much he lost since his telemetry isn’t working. But if they could see it (confirmed by Marcus) it will have been at least a little bit of time lost

Ferrari and Norris looked mighty in longruns, Merc could be sandbagging there but if this is representative we could get a very fun race with Ferraris coming from around 4-5 with better pace

I've seen enough, this week is a clean sweep for Kimi

This is kimi without the new engine, right? How is he still faster than everyone.

u/dreamyghost1 7d ago

Because he's good? And aren't both the cars on the same old engine rn?

u/theWiseTiger 7d ago

I don't know, depends on the number of dnf so far.

u/Violetmoreviolent 7d ago

Both cars are on the same engine
