Don't worry. Nico's Post-its will fly off before he remembers what engine mode he needed.

Lewis is still problematic

I'm confused. I've been casually skimming through this thread and I recall back in that race where both Mercedes had issues that Rosberg managed to solve it in the race and went about his way while Lewis really struggled.

I also recall about everyone praising Nico about his intelligence afterward and how poor Lewis is more of a raw racer. Now Rosberg is apparently an infantile trilobite and Lewis is the smarter of the two once more? I'm trying to get this thread's canon right again, thanks.

Rosberg sucks and uses post it's on his wheel. Not sure how far off the "thread cannon" this is. These are actual things and not thread jokes?

Nico = smarter than Lewis, but is a lovely driver
Lewis = is dumb, but #blessed

rosberg solved that problem faster than lewis because his problem happened right after he made a change to the car, so he just reversed the change and the problem went away. lewis' problem took longer to manifest itself and thus it wasn't immediately obvious how to solve it. lauda was just being a little poo poo when he suggested that rosberg did something better than lewis.

This thread has become increasingly stupid, to the point where Reddit is a better source. Still some ways away from the Autosport forums, though.

90% of the infighting at Mercedes can be traced back to Niki "poo poo Disturber" Lauda running his mouth and I love it.

It's pretty clear at this point that Lauda is 100% in the Rosberg camp.

I didn't even know the aeroscreen was a thing. Looks like a much better solution than the halo.



So I guess it's safe to assume we'll see halos implemented for the start of 2017.

I'm pretty sure that's only because its the easiest way to stir up the most amount of poo poo at the moment, he was firmly in the Lewis camp in 2014 when Lewis was on the back foot. Its seriously like a family christmas dinner where if your uncle mentions that he worked out with Jesse Ventura once you casually mention that he really wasn't a navy seal to get a rise out of him.

That version of the aeroscreen failed crash tests and then Red Bull stopped developing it so there won't be a working one for 2017 certainly.

The halo doesn't cause as much as an aerodynamic disturbance as the aeroscreen. Aeroscreen probably causes a) lots of drag b) disrupted airflow to the rest of the body and most importantly, the rear wing.

e: However, these cars were never designed with either Halo or Aeroscreen in place, so it makes sense that the cars performance was going to be impeded by them.
