- ▶︎▶︎ Mercedes is one of the hottest topics on the grid right now, with all the right reasons, as the Brackley-based squad managed to win two races in a row and be one of the teams with the most points scored in the past 6 weekends since Miami. However, the team doesn’t plan to stop here now that they’ve found what is truly wrong with their car, and with Hamilton ending the 2-year drought of not winning a race in his career, could the Silver Arrows be back on track and challenge the top teams for more wins this season? And more importantly, did Hamilton make the right decision by leaving Mercedes for Ferrari, as the cards have definitely switched now in mid-season development?

Give it a few more races before declaring Mercedes is back in the game.
Agree, last race was because Max took out Lando and himself... This one was intermittent rain, if Lando had put on Mediums Hamilton might have struggled... Having said that Hamilton really won that race looking after his soft tyres..
Im a newer fan of F1, 2020 was the first season that I REALLY started watching.. AFter Max and LH banged it out in 2021 I was hooked.. But.. I thought I wanted to see Max smash LH every weekend lol.. Oh how I see my mistep now that it has gone that way. LH winning today felt right, I was really stoked to see him get the W. I learned we NEED another killer on the track to enjoy Max the way he should be appreciated.
@@steve11211 three things Lewis does better than anyone in the game? he IS the master at preserving his tires, there is no one better at driving in the rain than he is and no one has had as much success at Silverstone in an F1 car than he has!!! nice work Sir Lewis! 😎👍
Very Very true.
We're still behind.
Given their history I believe that most F1 drivers want to drive for Ferrari at sometime during their career. (Seb, Kimi. Schoey etc)
@@alanserjeant4947 u can add alonso too
It's every drivers dream to win a championship with the most successful team of all time
@@alanserjeant4947 It's like a right of passage.
That was the best race in such a long time for so many reasons.
That was history. We won't forget that one.
Yeh 3 teams in the hunt at the top is going to be amazing for the racing. and maybe Ferrari will sort out their issues and join in the fun.
They are paying him half a billion. I very much doubt he regrets it.
@@garyeast7259 you're joking, 500 million? Fuk it I'd drive a fiat punto for that money
@WilliamFairfield-qq2tq its not quite 500. I think its 460-470. An u could drag me round each race attatched to a fiat punto by my hair for that.
I still think Mercedes doesn’t have the same straight line speed as the RedBull, but averaging it out over the track it does seem like they can be competitive, which is all Hamilton wanted, and needed, which is what he will get with Ferrari. I think he will elevate Ferrari regardless of his own results, this may be exactly what LeClair needs to push him to the top.
I think it will, tbh I don't think LeClerc and Sainz make a good pairing. Max is going to RIP the drivers championship this year unless RBR seriously drop off the cliff with development (and no, Perez does not count since he had his car chassis exchange for an older spec form after the Monaco crash - that, along with the tighter grid: 0.5s often splitting the top 10 for example...), which 99% chance ain't happening...
@@nfpnone8248 Let's stop this McLaren and Mercedes have the fastest cars on the grid. Can they beat Verstappen consistency, probably not he is a true great but the Constructors should be interesting. Lewis has made a massive error moving to Ferrari.
@nfpnone8248
Actually this season the Mercedes for the last 3 races has had the better top speed than the RB20 , it just couldn’t maintain it’s overall pace better than the RB throughout the stints., however since the inception of the new front wing the W15 has been a beast coming out of the corners something the W13-14 and early 15 struggled with..
Remember a lot of key positions will be changed next year when Hamilton arrives at Ferrari , such as Adrian Newey , and other major technicians ! It will not be Ferrari 2024 !!!
Mercedes has finally taken the car in the direction of Hamilton he is better at modulating the car than Russel who wrestles the car too much which puts strain on the PU hence his problems yesterday. Hamilton did not make the wrong move he went because Wolff disrespected him with a paltry one-year contract. Ferrari's gain Hamilton will help improve that team...
It appears that it’s not all about the car but the driver . Perez is driving the same car as Max but is not consistent with wins and second places as Bottas when he was Hamilton’s teammate.
IF cars are very close, it's about the driver. Red Bull is way WAY ahead...2 more laps and they would have won this one as well with half the race having the 5-6th pace. Perez just can't focus anymore when he knows Max is so much better than him. Also suspect the team does not even care abut him that much cause the first car is so good, it can win both titles by itself so they just focus on that one. If they cared 10% about the 2nd car they would have sacked Perez a long time ago.
Red Bull isn’t ahead anymore mate! Both Merc & McLaren were the faster car this weekend
At this point RB isn’t in it for the constructors championship. Just the drivers. Obviously they’d love to win it, but max can’t float the whole team like he did last year. The other teams are too close and both driver consistently scoring point while Perez is P16
@@FormulaTodayF1 what race did you watch. He was faster than ham and lando on hards at the end. Qualy debatable because of his floor. Only the first stint they were slower. Austria they were outright fastest. Spain they were a little slower than mclaren in the race. Spain was the only race the werent the fastest
@@vxVexom Softs were clearly not the tire to be on at the end, smh.
awesome race. well deserved virtory for SLH. great to see that the other teams are getting closer or even ahead of RB - especially for new F1 fans
what do you think of this,, now that Lewis is leaving Mercedes and heading to ferrari, that Mercedes is actually listening to what Lewis is saying about how to "fix" the car and now the car is working a lot better, lewis was right, but they only did this so they can bait max to leave red bull and drive the now "fixed" Mercedes. mercedes will NOT win a championship with russel, and despite what russel thinks, mercedes know it. thats why toe toe wants max soooooo bad! lol
You said my mind. I believe Mercedes simply fix this car to attract Max, Lewis engine was increased when Russell dnfed. A Lewis win then would be good for Mercedes which is it as we are seeing. The talk is about Lewis and Mercedes. Wow what a publicity.
What nonsense.
what a load of bollocks that is !!!
Merc finally made the car fit his driving style .....and not a computer model.
Man over machine.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
really what about the late pit stop for the chap that could have won ?????????????? what about the car that gave up on the other driver that could have won why was Lulu allowed in first on and on it goes so what the fuck are you on about the car Jesus give me hope ?
@@allanhughes7859 Hamilton was ahead of Russel on the road for the first round of pit stops and you normally pit the leading car first; especially if they are both on the same strategy. Russell wasn't quick enough in the damp conditions when it started raining - Hamilton and both McLarens passed him. If that is due to set up then that's on Russell; Russell had all the same information regarding weather as Hamilton. I think Russell is at least as quick as Hamilton but he needs to improve his consistency. He needs to convert his qualifying form into race results otherwise he'll never win a championship.
@@allanhughes7859where you at buddy?
Where Sir Lewis goes, so goes the
Magic!! 2024 season is getting interesting .
especially now that hamilton has "broken the curse" and scored a win! that in itself will "unleash the beast" in lewis again i suspect you are right.. things ARE going to get "interesting"!
@@stugatz2664 Charles broke the curse as well. Look where has that gotten him
We need to get Russell out of Merc it was the worst to happen to Merc, HAMILTON AND ANTONELLI WOULD GO HARD
👀
Why does George have so many more podiums in the last 3 years?
Ferrari never recovers meanwhile Merc is now fighting for podiums.
Verstapen racing with Hamilton and ferrari 👌. ❤
Awesome race Lewis
really honestly a bloody lucky race I would say but whoops being a racist again must stop being honest !!
@@allanhughes7859 Sir Lewis was awesome nothing to do with his background Broken another record with several wins at Silverstone
@@allanhughes7859 Nothing wrong about being honest about being a racist. People much prefer that than being a closet racist.
@@bwest6275 Let me have a think Oh yes another card player well done sir or madam !!
The GOAT is back! Love it!
Max never left😂😂😂
honestly you just keep dreaming !!
Stunning Win by Lewis, extremly clever drive ✌️❤️👌
McLaren threw it away, Lewiston win it McLaren lost it
Not sure why that was stunning, he started in the front row and they have the quickest car along with McLaren.
get a grip yet again he was very very lucky !!
@@allanhughes7859 as ”lucky” as Max was winning the 2021 championship
If Perez didn't hold Hamilton up in 2021, he would have been champ. If Max was such a great driver, why did he need help to win his first championship?
It wasn’t Perez, it was FIA who broke their own rules to allow a one lap shootout.
I love the sound of crying Brits😂😂
@@user-yt7jb7kk1i I would say the same had it been Max. It’s important to be dispassionate and unbiased in life. It’s just analysis and acceptance of the facts. You should try it.
I believe in the ability and sheer perseverance that is the Mercedes-AMG F1 team. They have proven time and time again that when the going gets tough, they will find a way to still rise. If anything, now that they have experienced what was essentially rock bottom after their multi-year winning streak, they have no doubt learned so much to become an even stronger team. And with the cost cap in place, there is no doubt to their ability, as they have found ways to improve W15 with the resources they have. This team deserves recognition for all the hard work that is paying off.
LEWIS My Son!!! 🙌🏽You back and I'm watching F1 again!!! Congratulations and God 🙏🏽 Bless...
well by what you have said you will not be watching for long !!
Isn't Max on his final engine allotment for the season? If so any new engines will incur grid penalties...
and talent will always over come luck will it not
He switched because Mercedes did not give him A Max contract ❤.
Not a Max contract but an LH contract with certain terms…
Good job, and Welcomeback, LEWIS
Turned out the real sabotage was to force him out of the team🤫
I believe this. For two years they could not find a car to fit him. it was as if they did not want him to separate statistically from Schumacher and allow RB to dominate. Toto really loves Lewis but the lead technicians almost seem to disregard his input and go the opposite way of his suggestions in arrogance. Now that he is leaving they provide a car for him. It makes no sense as they were too good for a long time to fall that far down the grid before this year's recent success. But Toto is brilliant and could likely be in on the nonsense. Nevertheless, Lewis was robbed in 2021 and since then it has been a confederacy against him on many levels. A black man passing Schumacher is not what they wanted they would most definitely rather it be Verstappen!
@@smithwesson7 OMG, my thoughts exactly. You couldn't have articulated that any better.
thanks to Checo's crash, the pictures taken from the underside of the Red Bull whilst hanging in the crane, is now paying of with the other teams.Cause the Merc's powerplant is better!
Ggod race,good win .But lets not get swellheaded ,sad for Russell but Max will rule from here on in.Hats off to Lando and Oscar.
Let us not forget Mercedes could so easily have had both cars out of the race when both cars went off the track. We've not been debriefed yet, but i would not be surprised if Russell picked up some damage when they went off. Had Russell not retired, he and Hamilton would have continued that duel, allowing Mclaren and Redbull to come back at them.
It can all change again next season
Could the 2023 no-wing concept with what they know now be faster?
Yeah, WAY too early to make a "they're back" statement. But it was great seeing Lewis win the race. He's so fast at Silverstone!
This was a huge boost for hamilton, I think he is going to start doing a lot better.
get a life for god sake it was a one off and he was very lucky at that just try being honest with your self and stop dreaming !
Lewis Newey Ferrari next season will be simple awesome 😎
Agree he will be on the back of the grid !!
He means the car is ready!!!!
It seems these upgrades were always there but never brought forward in attempt to discourage Lewis to retire.
Now they are brought forward to seduce Max.
There could be truth to that.
Lol you should write a fictional book
Is a good hypothesis : no smoke without fire 🔥 …
They couldn't bring upgrades to an unstable platform. Now that they've found the overall issue with the car, they can bring upgrades. 👀
The race was handed to him.
you talking about when max got handed the race to win his first championship?
I mean they back in the game this year! but doesnt next year bring all new regulations? Will this years car really make any diffrence come next season?
They did good, but had quite some luck as well.
It's definitely a sign they're improving, but they won't win a lot of races from here probably.
Mercedes back to the top and ready to take on the world is rather bold but overstated. Prove it in the coming races!!!
An A1 team is allowed to encourage themselves!! We believe 💯👌🏽that as long as Lewis has the right car driving for whichever team they’ll WIN 🏆 😅
Max had floor damage from his qualifying run.
Ferrari will be back speed-wise. They were on the right track, and I believe they know where they went wrong.
As you age further money is more important than anything else.
Great win, I’m sure Lewis knows what’s happening at Ferrari, it’s not the money doesn’t need it, it’s the Roar of the prancing horse ! He’ll help them make a true stallion !
and god help him if he does not !!
wonderful to see the German team be up there again :) ( yes Mercedes is German ) :)
Interesting video.
The wind chime music on the other hand ..... yeah pass on that.
When the silver arrow becomes silver again and not black then it might just might start to happen !! good riddance that's what I say ?? And good luck in red because whilst you are lucky you are going to need all the luck you can get !! Lewis !!
Where Sir Lewis goes, so goes the
Magic.
where he goes also goes a failing team
If Max joins Mercedes, the battles with Lewis will be epic in 25.
are you on drugs ???????????
As the great Murray Walker said " anything can happen in F1, and usually does!". Fans of stats and speculation posting vids on here should take Murray's advice seriously. With the incredible closeness of the pack (sorry alpine and sauber), and these regs verses the huge difference and number of tracks (please no more travks), the rest of this year and the change in 26, nothings for granted.
Well Ferarri are listening to Leclerc now right? Saint is locked out of anything development related
When newey joins ferrari thats when things drastically changes
Agreed with Lewis,LEAVE
Two swallows don't make a summer.,don't get your hopes up,there is still a long way to go.
Or maybe Ferrari are more focused on next year… spending their allowance. Also newey is part time as he’s leaving red bull.well done Lewis.
Next year all the cars will be new again
James alisson is cooking 😊
Yes but he’s had 2.5 years of not even being in the kitchen…
I just hope Kimi gets the second seat at MB. Max is only good if he has the best car. Senna, Prost, Hansel, Michael all managed to win with inferior cars.
Not max, he will be a 4 time world champion, same as Prost. The guy does not have the most championships, pole positions, race wins. he's lucky Perez is his teammate.
agree and the same goes for Hamilton only good in a good car and even then George giving him a run for his money !!
@@allanhughes7859new fan from Netflix I guess?😂
@@lambolim2178 L.O.L
Hahaha... Hamilton is going to change his mind... :p. Mercedes should have been properly tech'd.. ;)
Truly wrong with the car. Retires Russell
Russell's car retired don't forget ...
I think Hamilton is moving to Ferrari for childhood dream reasons more than performance.
Can Lewis tear up his Ferrari contract now ?
but my team does not make mistake
ferrari will always end driver career, no driver has got another championship after joining ferrari: vettel, alonso, kimi, schummy
😢
Too many assumptions mate.
One race. Repeat it again. One race. I understand the Brits have little to celebrate but can this fawning over Louise be just turned down to a reasonable level? There are other teams and other drivers in F1 many who are doing as well or better than Toto and Louise.
😂😂😂😂😂
100% but its Lulu for god sake !!
Could Lewis rescind his contract with Ferrari?
god I hope not !!! lets hope he stays at home and looks after his dog where ever he lives which is not in the U.K. so what the fu..k he was doing with our flag god only knows ???
So lewis is ready now though he should 100% of the time cause he just about won now he's all geared up? don't see the point really now he's moving to Ferrari i wonder now if he'll perform better or worst as i thought he was more focus on his image as a model than a professional driver didnt know he had time to cry 😅🤣
No Lewis to the red car
Ferrari are making a huge mistake signing this washed out driver. They should keep Sainz and sign Tsunoda.
100% agree what wise words for once !!
Looking at Ferrari's Performance, Lulu Will have A DIFFICULT Life at Ferrari
Hamilton got is nerve back, the car was fine.
lol his last victory to go before retire
Cat wait to see Lewis in that Ferrari car of Sainz because Sainz is defeating Le Clerq in every race till now
Next race, Mercedes will be back in their natural positions, P7 and P8
I hope he enjoys mediocrity at Ferrari as Fernando Alonso and Vettel how that goes.
NO he won’t!! Don’t be a sadist😮!
Please stop saying Silver Arrows the cars are black and have been for a while now !!!
I'm sure I can see some silver paint as well
You're placing too much weight on the Austrian win given McLaren, RedBull implosion. As for Silverstone ... another poorly managed race by McLaren. Yes ... MB was there to pick up the pieces, But mainly, you're simply peddling drama for the sake of clicks.
In case you didn’t notice…we love being at the top too!! What a beautiful break that someone else was first and that someone else was Lewis Hamilton😂😂👏🏾👏🏾… we bless God🙏🏽
both wins were from other people’s problems
Isn’t it always that way on a race day?? How long have you been watching F1😮… LH win because he was the better driver with a great strategy and a way better car than in the past 2.8years…give him his flowers, he deserves them!!
Hahahahaha wins 1 race in 2 years and thinks he is back 🤣 he probably won't win again until British GP 2025 lmfao
he will never win that race again trust me !! and he knows it !!
Lewis..... You screwed up.
Get out of the Ferrari deal.
Why are people still saying this? Merc only offered him a drive for next year and ham wants to drive for longer than that so took the Ferrari 2 year deal!
@@clifflee5404 Where's the part he screwed up when Merc pushes him off anyways? At least we fans can see him in reds before retirement.
no no stay with the red car or get it painted black you know as you did with the mercs and then it all went titts up !!!
They must be cheating
Mercedes has a history of cheating
How do you go from 4th fastest team
At start of
Season to
Fastest so
Soon
Simple...get the Red bull Catering budget
Lulu DIDN'T Whine about Sabotage ?
Georges car blew up because of his send it engine mode … when sabotaging backfires
They pulled Russel in so LH could win the race.
Hamilton overtook Russell on track 😢. You need a mental institution
@@prestonhartlief yes he did but you must wonder why a car that never breaks for Lulu suddenly breaks for the team mate just like it has several times before so before you make such arrogant comments look at history and it might just might be you that needs help not others ??
Its nice to see several teams fighting at the front. The last two years has been boring! Im totally against LH going to the reds. History shows world champs fail with the reds.MSC excluded
Ive checkec sll the site. Where are all the haters.
Maybe Bonos eords "Lewis you are the man" crashed their computers. Certainly their mouths
One race doest make a season.. the plan at Ferrari is to develop a car for 2026 with A Newey.
It may not but it give and brings back hope to do even better!!! We’re happy for the wins Lewis brings on and we celebrate him even harder!! Haven’t you ever failed in life and had to work your way up ever?? If not one day it’ll happen because it always does, just pray that you have people cheering you to get up otherwise, like you…you may have people pushing you down to stay down and out!! Give people their flowers when they truly deserve them…it’s very humbling
