Will be interesting to see how much losing DAS affects Mercedes.
They have actively reduced performance in one area since last year let’s remember. Will it be like Ferrari when the FIA suggested they may like to follow the rules rather than massively cheating?
As far as I remember, there weren't many tracks on the calendar that took advantage of DAS. It was mostly under things like safety car restarts and cooler race tracks that they got the most out of it as they could warm up their tyres better than the others.
Can't see this season being much different in terms of outright performance than last season.
Though since Racing point (now Aston Martin) were found guilty of being a pink Mercedes last season, did they have to make any changes to comply this season? Or with the regulations staying the same they basically took their punishment last season and can carry on running the same parts?
