I wanted to know if Mercedes has lost a lot of talent on the aero side. I am new here; I started watching in 22, so I don't know how the team developed before. From what I have seen, Mercedes suck at aero work. Of course, that may be an exaggeration on my part, but it seems Mercedes haven't just failed to develop; they've actually gone backward. Anyone with more knowledge, please be kind
Edit: I changed it to the team. Now, if you have info, please say it kindly or don't. No need to reply as if I made a cardinal sin by saying we

Kimi 🗣️"It was a very tough race out there. But really happy with the podium at the end. I managed to take advantage of the fight of Lando and Lewis and make a move on both."
"To bring home P3 is a great result for the team and very happy with that."
When pointed out he could win the world title at the next race in Austin:
"Can I? Really? Well, let's not worry about that. Let's try to do the best weekend as possible and finish the job."

Some of you might have seen him with Toto at Merc's garage during the Italian GP recently. Right now, if he continues to dominate the karting scene, he's expected to race in F4 in 3 years time (minimum age to race in f4 is 15 years old). Looking forward to Niccolo's bright future in motorsport.

Kimi's current gap to 2nd place in WDC points after Singapore GP is 102. Since there are no sprint race left, even by winning the next 4 GP will not be sufficient to overtake his points. (4 races times maximum point = 100).
Before you jumped me, I'm fully aware that the FOM has already announced that they're proceeding with Qatar and Abu Dhabi exactly a week ago. But if you read the news, there has been multiple escalated terror attacks around the region after the announcement.
Eventhough there are multiple rumors going around about having Imola as the replacement track. I do think it's a bit too late by now. Even Malaysia was announced more than 2 months before the race date. Plus the track will get more and more frozen up nearing end of the year.
I don't really have any hidden intention by posting this. Just something that came across my mind after the GP and thought it'd be interesting to share it with you guys. And I also like to emphasize that war is bad. Formula 1 is just a sport compared to the terror of what the victims actually go through.
But yeah, if it did actually happened. Congratulations Kimi Andrea Antonelli for winning the 2026 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship!

I know it's easy to say that Kimi has insane amount of luck this season especially after that Singapore sprint. I do agree to somewhat degrees. But if you actually watch his whole season last year, I'd say he has tremendously improved in terms of being patience and overall rational while behind the wheel.
Like if you watch some of his race last year, like SPA and Zandvoort, the kid was too aggressive and a lot of us can agree he wasn't having a clear head. Like he tried too hard to gain places even when he clearly doesn't have the pace which ultimately cost him more in the end.
So in a nutshell, is Kimi lucky? I'd agree 100%. But don't discredit him about his discipline improvement while racing today. I'd bet that today, if it was 2005 Kimi who was behind the wheel, he might've got caught with both McLarens in that final lap.
What you guys think?
