Two of the best, going wheel to wheel in Canada. 🇨🇦 The kind of racing that reminds you why we love F1! 😍

Bradley Lord (Deputy TP of Mercedes) on George’s Canada weekend and his DNF: “It's always a funny feeling when one car has won the race and the other one's retired through no fault of the driver. Because it's very very hard to feel truly jubilant when you've seen 18 points, or could have been 25 or 18 for George, but a 1-2 go begging. Absolutely no fault of George's, he drove brilliantly all weekend and I think would have been a very worthy winner of the Grand Prix as well after his performances to take two pole positions and the sprint win. But yeah, a sudden sort of kill of the earth system on the car as he came into turn 8 and then that did a reasonable amount of damage afterwards as well. We got the car back. We were able to get the module out of it. It had to go undergo some sort of pretty unusual safety procedures and then has to be shipped back actually to the UK. So, it'll be several months before the hardware gets back and we need to really dig through the data to understand exactly what went wrong and then how can we try and prevent a repeat on any of the other modules in the future.” 🗣️: “Picking up on that Evan, how much notification or pre-warning do you get when certain issues arise on the car when you're just looking at the telemetry and the data?” Evan Short (Mercedes’ Head of Trackside Electronics and Controls): “Like in this particular case, very little. So we're looking at the data, the first thing we see is a sudden stop in all the squiggly lines that we're looking at. And of course, the first thing we think is ‘oh, something's gone wrong on my laptop.’ And then you look around and think ‘oh, no one's got any data.’ And actually, because we're not watching, the engineers don't tend to be watching the television live, that's the first thing you notice and it's only when you then glance up at the TV and see the car grinding to a halt that you realize what's really happened. But as Bradley says, you know, we've got a lot of folks going through that data now with a fine-tooth comb. So, well, we won't have the hardware back. I'm sure there's going to be some clues in the seconds leading up to the failure.”

muting the tweet bc i really dont wanna argue on that matter
