Detuned ? Just because Checo-Perez blew his Merc thing..
But the Merc's didn't lost a lot of pace , because they were only - 0.1 sec. slower in the same lap and speed-trap .
HAM and his grandma didn't even knew or felt that their spaceship was detuned ...
That's what the WOlf said after the race !
No one else than MAX got the power there , he ran a gap together of 13 sec. on the first spaceship with HAM&Grandma in it
I said 13 seconds ! In F1 that's a sea of time , while MAX lifted his right foot already with 5 laps to run ....
Otherwise it was 20 + seconds !
BTW : As we know is Abu Dhabi really a Merc-Power track !
