Red Bull can, has, and will tolerate cheating. It may actually enhance the brand.

Not hilarious for the other nine teams that have to suffer a Merc GP nearly every time.
Merc corporation, the very name would ensure a huge almost impenetrable security net around any anomalies I would imagine.
You have a good day now.

Well said.. 1 sec. faster over one lap is a sea of time !

Absolutely it is. But, let's stop with the nonsense that its because the Mercs have 150+ more horsepower.

Interesting my friend but let's look at Eifel from another perspective. BOT passed HAM for the first time fair and square...(but he's no.2 and shouldn't happen... Schumacher snr's race helmet was ready...did Toto pull plug and it's the first dnf for Merc this year, it's an unhealthy stack of events.

Yes my friend . That's what I was thinking during the race as well ...
I thought , is this situation coincidental or actually suspicious !

Of course we'll never know ...

As I have said, the Merc corporation would have a cast iron ring of steel failsafe in place for 'explanation' of BOT car turning into a clapped out Skoda.

You have a good day now.
The thing is, we have 2 separate categories of competing. Driver's, and Constructor's championships.

Drivers being equal, the better car will net more wins.

So why are you going after Daimler for developing a better car AND having better drivers?

Go after Red Bull for developing an inferior car. Had they done a better design job, maybe the driver could achieve better results.

This was reported in February 2017,Lauda passed away in May 2019 and did not deny saying it. Merc had huge advantage when hybrids brought in it's not only RB who lost out.

And Merc is likely already working on the PU for 2026 and beyond.

So my question is why were all others so short sighted then, and why aren't they working on next gen PUs now?

Merc will only secure their future victories by being long sighted. None of this is cheating. It's strategic thinking. When you plan far enough ahead, you give yourself the time to develop better solutions sooner, and give yourself more options in the possible solution space.

All F1 engine manufacturers knew 5 years in advance what the new engine regs would be.
As noted its just sour grapes to blame Merc for doing a better job.
Note that no one is crying about what a great job Red Bull has done with its superior aero package.

Epic.

Given the disparity of victories I can sort of understand this view point. Also why many find F1 boring these days
