Antonelli is the new ingredient here, and it will be very interesting to see how he does. That will be affected by the competitiveness of the car and whether one of the drivers is in the fight for the title. Nonetheless, we will learn a lot about him this year. George will do well, I'm sure.

That should help George to get back to the box quicker!

It still amazes me that Adidas and Puma both started in the same little German town. Amazing what two dedicated brothers can accomplish.

I just have a feeling that they wil be very strong this season, question is if so, are the drivers up for it? Its unfair to expect too much from kimi, but i am curious too see how Russell would fair in a championship fight.

Lando didn't fair too well, but I think George is a bit stronger and assertive and should manage a WDC challenge better.

Team and Technical Thread in one thread. How luxurious. 
Mercedes are working to improve the rear suspension for the W16 in hope for better overall performance.

I don’t know. Don't remember.
Have just read rumours that AM was unhappy with the rear suspension and gearbox supplied by Mercedes. So it might be something they have to improve in order to get good performance this year

I think he has a bit more steel and drive about him than Lando does. He has put together a couple of impressive seasons for Merc already, and had one of the better F2 championship winning seasons. I suspect he'd be fine in a WDC fight.

Aye George is up for a scrap and willing to be disliked if need be to achieve his goals. Lando is quick and impressive in quali but got over excited last year and was easy prey for Verstappen.

George will be fine. He will do anything to win. Will be interesting to see how he races Max this year

The way Max was smirking and grinning at little Lando sometimes... 
Lando looked like a kid, tbh. Quick driver, but sometimes capitulated mentally when he was in big Max's shadow.
George v Max should provide a few more fireworks this season.

but it seems they didn't manage to identify the source of the problem. Which seems to be the rear suspension and gearbox

It's going to be interesting to see how he races Lewis - given the radio comms from him whenever they raced each other in '24. It always seemed to be if he was behind, he was asking to get Lewis out of the way, if he was in front he was asking that Lewis not to attack him
