I know but I was balancing doing actual work with posting on a forum so there was a bit of a brainfart there  

We all know posting on the forum is more important, this is a poor excuse.

Mercedes 1-2 in Austria FP1. Everyone else 0,6 secs. behind.

 

30 mins left in FP2. Mercedes 1-2 with everyone else 0,6 secs. behind

 

Red Bull Ring lap time is only 64 secs. so 0,6 gap equals to over a second at most other tracks.

And as expected, protest against Mercedes' DAS.

 

Meanwhile, 89-year old Bernie Ecclestone has had a baby this week, his first son. Good chance the poor kid won't even ever really know his dad. Ecclestone doesn't seem to care though: "When you're at my age, you're not afraid of death, you're just thankful", he said rather egotistically.

Well Bernie is secretly a vampire, so i'm not so sure  Otherwise it's not quite sure how he can still reproduce at 88. Doesn't sound like a guy who will stack the freezer.

FIA said DAS is legal for 2020 already so that will go nowhere IMO (but they banned it for 2021). Then again, Horner & Marko are bitter losers so it's no surprise they are moaning again   Colin Chapman is rolling in his grave.

So basically we can already give the title to Mercedes and cancel the season?

Plus they had already said they'd protest if Mercedes would use it in a race weekend, so all they did was keep their word. Nothing wrong with protesting it, especially after the whole Ferrari thing of last year.

I won't be surprised if RBR only filed the protest to get their own DAS later this season. Ferrari admitted they need to re-design their car which means 2nd place in the standings is there for the taking.
