Maybe shouldn’t be surprised, but word is that Hamilton’s new ICE is tuned with a lifespan of just 4 races to give it maximum performance, maybe worth an extra 15bhp

Explains their frankly phenomenal straight line speed this weekend.

I thought about this earlier what kind of tuning they could do to last four races to give them an advantage. Might even just be 3 as they have another engine in the pool. With nothing to lose turn it up to 11 and see where it gets you going into the final weekend.

Was wondering about this. Would you take a 5 place penalty every week so you could fit an engine that lasts maybe 200 laps but gives you half a second every lap.
Red Bull were crying poverty earlier in the year so they probably wouldn't have the resources to keep pace, financially.

In other news, if true, this could be interesting...

You can only do this if the circuit is good for overtaking. Mexico you needed a good second+ a lap to pass. I guess Mercedes will be hoping Max takes a penalty to try and keep up with Lewis' fresh one. Bottas must have a couple of new-ish ones so if RB does take an engine on a difficult circuit to overtake then it gives a chance to get a 10 point swing in the championship.
 
I love how Brazilian F1 coverage is near identical to how it was back in Sennas day. The music they play at the end cracks me up especially with the commentator going off in the background

Also lol at how happy the marshall and his buddies are when Hamilton takes the Brazilian flag
