Why is mercedes so weak

Even though other classes outdamage, she still does very good damage. She just starts to shine kinda mid game and with decent EQ. People also snap at the class because of the comboing, but its pretty easy. Torippi wrote: ». Viete wrote: ». It isn't hard, but keeping up combo count, during bosses such as Magnus or Lotus is still a challenge. Of course, all while not losing dps from Ishtars. Also a problem at dream defender, where you have to change maps fast, and therefore don't always have the time to keep combo count up.

But he came into the weekend with a streak of recent crashes hanging over him. The technical directive issued by Formula 1 to reduce levels of automation in pitstops has given teams an unwelcome period of adjustment. Although safety was the primary goal, it has already had a significant impact on the title race and puts extra pressure on teams to deliver as the season reaches the business end.

The Russian GP was decided by late-arriving rain that allowed some to climb and caused others to plummet. But the events which played out beforehand are equally significant when considering the all-important driver ratings.

Until rain turned the Russian Grand Prix on its head in the closing stages, Lando Norris was set to convert his first Formula 1 pole position into a maiden win. But having recovered well from being shuffled back at the start, Hamilton and his Mercedes team called the changing conditions spot-on for a landmark th F1 victory.

This was the clear bit of track Hamilton should have waited for, rather than pitting early and being snookered on strategy immediately. Had Mercedes not pitted first they would have needed to wait for somebody else to take the plunge, as Perez and Vettel did.

Hamilton and Mercedes have been such a strong and formidable partnership for years now, and it has been the case in so far as well, but in Monaco it was rare to see Lewis so obviously pointing the finger at the strategists.

I can fully understand his frustration though. As a driver you have to obey what you are told over the radio, because you trust that your team on the pit wall and back at base have more information available to them and can make the correct decision. In Monaco it was far from the case. But to make matters worse, it appeared that the driver and team were on completely different wavelengths on what they were expecting.
