I don't watch the GP's ( no television! ) but I've just seen a picture of the Mercedes used as a pace car on the BBC website. Has anyone any infomation about the model and spec ( suspect fairly heavily modified! ) that they use?

Here you go Chris: linkA number of the drivers were complaining that it was being driven too slowly today. Do you fancy a go? |

I noticed that when Leclerc (I think? maybe Max?) made that comment, the speed info popped on the screen.... It was going 140MPH at the time. It certainly didn't look very fast from the camera angle, but that seems pretty nippy to me! |

Not sure how many drivers have crossed the finish line to win a race with a flat tyre 🤔👍🏻

You have to admit, he does have a certain determination - but generally better judged that some of his peers! |

Certainly a slow burner, but the last 5 laps were good, it's getting a bit like cricket, a test is a yawnfest, but a 20/20 is sort of exciting for the last 5 overs.

Looks like Mercedes are struggling with the heat and their tyres are not lasting ....well done to Max for the win on Sunday 🏆
