Rumour is that all the Merc engines have been turned down. Reliability worries.


Interesting. Why is reliability more of a concern in Singapore than Monza? Monza is clearly harder on the engine. Is it the ambient temperature and a lack of cooling due to the low speed nature of the track?

I think low speed, high temperature and humidity is a factor. Mercs have had issues to follow other cars closely this season, Rosberg at Monza is a good example of that.

Plus he only had that engine in because of reliability worries with his updated engine.

With the rev limit, is Monza really that much of a worry as it used to be?

Seems there's also talk that the higher tyre pressures this weekend may be hurting them as there struggling to get the super-soft's into the operating window.

May be that they struggle for 1 lap pace in qualifying but will be more competitive in the race, Especially when they get off the Super-soft's at the 1st stop.

If that's true and all the merc teams struggle in qualy but become switched on in the race this could be one of the best races of the season .

Expect overtakes and many sc's.

Or merc were in night engine settings and didn't push during day practice, whatever.

Man, it's like the good old days with Seb here.

Repetitive Strain Injury showing more than Merhi ever did, and Merhi's no slouch.

Have to think that Vettel held a little back there so as to save the tyres for tomorrow.

Rosberg is wasting a seat in Mercedes. I want to see Vettel v. Hamilton on equal terms every race.
