What is happening in Mercedes?


There seems to be a lot of friction between the drivers which is clearly visible and it's not a surprise. 
Recently Lewis Hamilton indicated that his relationship with Nico Rosberg was "Surprisingly really good" ( Before the Austrian GP) .Anyone would find that hard to believe considering all the history between them.



The last lap of the Austrian GP was thrilling and exciting that is unless you are not a Mercedes fan. The crash between Nico and Lewis which ended with Nico dropping down to 4th and Lewis winning the race. This incident was best described by Toto Wolff as "brainless" and that Mercedes are willing to bring in Team orders if it is going to be the only way to keep their drivers from tripping over each other. Even Niki Lauda said Mercedes has a tough call to make and he's usually against team orders. 

Lewis of course was against the idea of team orders saying it would take the joy of racing away and would become boring for the fans. Which makes sense , Mercedes should let them race and the drivers should try not to crash into each other. Lewis and Nico have been friends for a long time , since they were karting and hopefully they can forget their differences and just put on a good show for the fans and be friends again.   

Toto is set to talk to both the drivers this Thursday (tomorrow)
Lewis said that there is nothing to talk about but Niki thinks differently and said that " this nonsense has to stop". 
Well Team orders or no we will only find out in Silverstone. Maybe Lewis and Nico should take advice from Seb and Kimi. 


About the tyre blowout that Sebastian Vettel had , Pirelli and Scuderia Ferrari are looking into it together. For starters Ferrari did not mess up the strategy this time. With a one stop Sebastian would have won the race. The tyres didn't show any signs of puncture nor were they losing performance in an alarming manner. Unfortunately for Sebastian the blowout was caused due to a debris.   
                                       

Anyhow July is a month with 4 race weekends ! It's every f1 fan's dream month. With two back to back race weekends. Happy F1 month!

Until the next race, 
Goodbye
