Yeah the only social media they did before was sending cease and desist notices.

Sim racing liveries and cars for 2017 are also staying online this year! Last year they aggressively went after the 2016 stuff.

NBC just showed a clip of Hamilton saying he tried to run a NASCAR race during the season but Mercedes refused because they don't have an engine in the series.

If they can't sabotage his engine he could win, which goes against everything Mercedes stands for

Right? I don't think Mercedes corporate is stupid enough to think there's a conflict of interest in putting Hamilton in a Ford or a Chevy.

It was probably something casual like Lewis mentioning to Toto that Daytona seems like a fun race and Toto reminded him that Mercedes doesn't participate in NASCAR so he wouldn't be able to race even if he wanted to.

Why are sky debating the coat hanger wing like the teams have a choice. If the Mercedes coat hanger flexes and isn't secure enough on the car than the FIA will simply tell them to take it off.

They have to give 2 sets back at the end of FP2, but they only get 7 sets of supersofts for the whole weekend, so that limits their testing time on them if they intend to qualify and race on them.
