Mercedes REVEAL Antonelli Failure Cause! (It's Bad)💥

Kimi drives like a spoilt brat, he's inexperienced and that will be his downfall, when something happens on track, he looses his composure, like the track limits too, Lewis is looking at that and thinking....pressure every race will lead kimi to make errors, george should be doing way better than what he is, that car is fast, put lewis/max in that car and they would be out in the lead by some way, i see george leaving them myself, he isnt top tier.

what talker thumbs down next

13:50. Kimi the fav younger child, Lewis the accomplished older child, Russel the annoying middle child, and Max potential adopted child Toto is envious of.

Verstappen comeback mark my words. come back and clown me if im wrong hahahaa

If merc are shipping the failed battery back to base rather than flying it, there must be a concern over thermal runaway, or something similar. I can't see any other reason why they'd take that option otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

As much as I love Kimi I do want to see how he fares with Lewis pressure

FFS! Batteries can't fail if you don't have them, 1000 HP internal combustion engines are better in every way. Leave the batteries for no one give's a F!!K formula E.

They let a few blow up, so they can make engine changes with hidden performance for free….. using the headspace they have now… simple.

3.50 nope, cheating is what Briatore does…

Alonso brought Flávio into the tent as a favour to pump up he’s contract for next year at Aston. C’mon that salty old dog knows how to play the game.

What if Mercedes had tried the 3 stops?

Kimi was faster and could have beaten Hamilton. But the team didn't want to upset Russell in his 100th race.

It's quite obvious Mercedes have found a way to deploy more power on the electric motors somehow where it counts whilst still keeping to the rules in regards to maximum 350kw boost and total battery capture energy.
Watching live telemetry during races in early races Mercedes definitely did more super clipping and got to 300k/h alot quicker then other teams, however on tracks like Shanghai some of the other teams where regularly running about 10k/h faster top speed both with or without overtake comparatively.
Yes, it was confusing especially souroundig media options and driver comments but despite popular belief Mercedes where not faster top speed on high speed tracks like Shanghai infact they where slower however they did reach their top speed much faster then any other team hitting it only half way down the straight and maintaining whist the other teams where playing catch up and eventually would start to reel them it although by that time it's time to hit the brakes and Mercedes have already made a huge gap.

This is F1 but every drag racer knows power and acceleration on the bottom makes more difference than the same gain on the top end especially for the very short time spent at top speed. It's why going 60k/h vs 50k/h will drastically shorten your travel time yet going 160k/h vs 150k/h will only marginally shorten your travel time. The faster you go the higher the increase is needed to save that time.
Anyways for Mercedes to me it seems not like their higher dynamic compression but deployment set up that's given them their advantage. Giving the same 350kw boost but doing so in the motors lower rpm range whilst also making more torque effectively positioning the maximum 350kw boost at a more optimal point for the longest time capping it as rpm increases as not to go over as well as not over deploying at higher speeds where it is wasted. Also all the teams that use Mercedes engines also have the same motor, batteries and software however there are many things that can be tuned and changed given the same hardware and tunable software such as motor timing, voltage regulation ECT..
Long story short Mercedes are working their batteries harder whilst still staying within the rules causing potential thermal shutdowns or potentially runaways under extreme conditions which I think is the likely reason for both Russell and Kimi's failure.
The only way to fix that is to reduce their output which I'm sure they know that but don't want to give up their competitive edge so the official answer is they are still working on a solution. Who knows maybe they will find a way however that's the pickle I believe they are in but are not ready to disclose it

Honestly i think one of the reasons of mercs reliability issues is that we can see the similarities in russels dnf and antonellis dnf because both were in dirty air in both canada and also in barcelona plus i think merc are overworking the battery or overcharging it to its limits which exposes it to overheating and shutting down all at once. They need to think of this because if they continue like this and hamilton is their main threat now. They would be quite in trouble.

Alonso is pretty washed at this point. Aston would be better off getting someone who hasn't had the drive beaten out of them over years of terrible cars. If alonso goes somewhere else he could find some of his form back, but I don't see him getting back on top at aston at this point.

Mmmm! I wonder how many kilometres both the failed Mercedes Batteries had incurred before failure?

15:03 Is Hamilton going to back to Merc? Did he lend his car to Antonelli?

Nobody likes George 😂

I sold my Mercedes and bought a Ferrari and no regrets.

Probably the same problem exists in all the other cars using Mercedes's power units... Mclaren, Alpine, Williams... Every one of those teams has a sudden shutdown in the middle of the race.

Merc's got ADUO AND reliability upgrades coming to that PU 😢

As I understand it, the reason it takes to long to get the diagnosis is due to having to ship it via ship. Transportation authorities will not allow you to fly a faulty high performance battery due to risks of fire or explosion.

ferrari gambled with strategy and won. it was only luck.

The title fight is most definitely on for Lewis. If Ferrari‘s engine upgrades work, there will be no stopping Hamilton. Russell and Kimi will continue to take points off of each other and Lewis will be there to clean up any mistakes they have while also taking wins from here on out.

He already smells blood in the water.

Lastly, there is no world in which Mercedes can ask Russell or Kimi to allow the other driver to just go by as long as both of them are still fighting for the title, and either of them follow the instruction. Mercs first goal is to win the constructors.

Austria is an engine circuit. A Mercedes will win. Just check channels with real info into track info and traces. This channel is more and more gossip.

If you're quick at Barcelona, you're likely to be quick everywhere - hence why they test there.

Also, Russell got so much luck the last few seasons with wins from nowhere - Brundle crying on Sky because his fellow Kings Lyn boy has been put a few races, well 2024 miles behind Max and Lando. Max takes Lando out, George comes through to win, and last season, some results out of nowhere, so I’m not feeling sorry for him.

You forgot an accolade. He's also the first black guy to date a Kardashian and actually IMPROVE his craft 😂😂😂😂

You don't need clickbait thumbnails. Wtf, there were no car fires at Barcelona, so why are you showing a car fire?

Nobody likes George Russell, he's too annoying and cringy bastard that you can't like him. Maybe there's a few George fans but they themselves are just as cringe and annoying as George himself.

Mercedes can now ship the battery from Spain...3-5 business day with dfl

Hamilton get a hair cut its just not cool to have a mullet in 2026🤣😂😎😎😎😎

More argument for an ICE only config.
Lower fuel consumption due to reduced thermal losses of clipping.
Lower vehicle weight for faster lap times due to removal of battery, controller and motor.
Purified Driver presence in the driving performance quotient (Car / Driver balance).
And now, Reduction of failure points and possibility of Mechanical DNF.
This is undeniable conclusive reasoning that there is no place for Hybrid Tech in Formula 1.

Hopefully Kimi's engine explodes one more time (twice maybe?) soon before they figure out the issue, just to pull the championship back into a really tight battle

Merces statement is Gaslighting BS! Battery failure my ass! The bag of spanners that used to be the engine, was there for all to hear as Antonelli pulls up! Mercedes think that they are smart, flirting with expanding metallurgy in internal engine components to skate the rules!
I think what they've developed is exactly what they deserve!
'The crank shaft has bitten of more conecting rod's than it can chew!! 😂😂
