If Toto was actually cared about making a statement for safety, he would withdraw the team for a weekend. He knows the entire F1 media machine is on his (and more importantly Lewis') side. Normies who don't care about racing in general heard about how King Lewis got robbed last season, you bet your ass it would be a major story if he actually pulled them. The FiA wouldn't have a choice but to act.
But that's not what it's about, is it? Its about trying to play politics to harm the competition and bring his team back on top. And I get why some people don't like the sport because of that. The rules changed, you got them wrong, suck it up, build a better car next year.

Speaking of Toto... might be clickbait, since it's Daily Mail, but the headline was too good to resist.
EXCLUSIVE: Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff 'lost his s***' at a meeting of team principals in Montreal on Saturday - claiming rival chiefs are ganging up on him over drivers' bouncing problems
(article)
One insider said the Mercedes boss launched into a ‘wide-eyed rant’ because he thinks his rivals are ganging up on him over the bouncing problems his team are experiencing with their car.
Another source said Wolff went full ‘Abu Dhabi spec’ – a reference to the Austrian’s meltdown when Lewis Hamilton lost out on the title at the closing race in the Gulf last year.
Wolff is said to have accused the other team bosses of deliberately perpetuating a safety issue by refusing to alter the regulations introduced this year, which have led to the Mercedes cars ‘porpoising’ – the phenomenon of a car bouncing hard on its suspension.
In response, Red Bull boss Christian Horner told Wolff to get his own house in order.
His rivals were sceptical about the circumstances surrounding an additional ‘floor-stay’ Mercedes were running on their cars in practice. The stay is a metal tube that limits the amount the floor can move, thus making the ride smoother.
In particular, eyebrows were raised over how Mercedes could have designed the part so soon after an FIA technical directive was issued on Thursday, in which the stay was allowed on safety grounds.
Rivals privately wonder whether Mercedes were tipped off by the FIA in advance. ‘How did they know?’ asked one senior team executive.
Nobody from the FIA was available for comment on Saturday night.
Alpine boss Otmar Szafnauer said his team could ‘not have engineered the part in a day’.
Mercedes removed the stay before qualifying, claiming it did not help them. The alternate theory is that they took it off because they would have faced a protest on the arcane basis that the regulations trump the technical directive and the regs do not permit the use of an additional floor-stay.
In separate news, former Mercedes employee Shaila-ann Rao, has been appointed the FIA’s secretary general for sport on a temporary basis.

Isn't this the guy that tried to dictate to Massi not to send out a safety car last year?

back problems in hambones ages are pretty normal. just asked the cheap labour that build that track of their back hurted after building it.
i member 2 dead drivers on one weekend, and now they cry about backpain for one of the older drivers...
he and hambone are on the hotseat as long as they dont deliver and shitting on the team building the car will not help em.
having a nigger fag as driver is only good for merc as long as he wins. if he stops winning, the cost of losing 3rd world sales is bigger than the gains in the west.
those arabs like mercs but dont like gay nigger like lewis.

Or maybe don’t put one of your drivers on slicks in the wet so he doesn’t make your favorite driver look bad.

And if safety is such a huge concern, why not dial back the setup, eat the loss in performance and be done with it.
I'd love to see an analysis of the FIA data, if it's only a problem with Merc, they can eat a wheelbarrow of dicks.
The craziest thing about this is how independent of Toto and his lapdog going crazy and being insanely unsportsmanslike, they still have this reputation of losing with grace.
I've never seen anyone in F1 being more disgraced by their behaviour after a loss than current day Mercedes and Lewlestier Hamleston.

It really is crazy how conditioned Lewis is to winning first place all the time. Back in the mid 2010s he would get undercut during pit stops and then you hear him go on the radio saying “so we just lost this race”

I think this shows that Hamilton isn't in the same class as Schumacher. I remember when Schumacher drove the first year at Ferrari and in the mid season his car failed regularly the italian media demanded Todt (Schumacher's boss) be removed. But Schumacher stood up and said "If Todt goes I go too!" He never lamented the car even later. Instead he put his back into working to make the car better. It took time but in the end the team got to the top. Even when 2005 brought them down I don't remember Schumacher complaining. Yes they got the tyre change back a year later but they still tried their best. I haven't seen that from Hamilton. Or maybe his complaining overshadows everything else

Lewis, from a very young age, has had cars and teams built around his personal requirements. He was never in a position where he had to develop the leadership skills and the eye for talent that Schumacher brought with him to Ferrari. He lack the nous of a driver like Alonso, who can convey to engineers information that will improve the set-up and the construction of a car. I am not saying that Hamilton is absent skill; he is a decent driver, however he is a construct. When the support network around him falters or falls away. there is not much left of note, barring a persistent whining noise. Imagine what he could have been with less coddling; certainly not the broken clotheshorse who is currently outstaying his welcome in the sport.
Look at Russell by comparison, whose hard years at Williams are paying off. He is navigating a disappointing season for a previously dominant team with far more class and maturity than the team's #1 driver.
I can't look at the Mercedes W13 without immediately thinking of that mission in GTA: San Andreas where CJ takes part in a Lowrider bouncing competition to win the support of his sister's Mexican gangbanger boyfriend.

Well sadly I think this race may just be a Red Bull walkaway. I'm a RBR fan but I hope something wild happens so Charles can make his way up there

He's not even the best performing British driver on the grid. I get old habits die hard but come on, he's yesterday's man.

"Gee should we show the cars at the front setting off and into the first corner?"
