Toto is definitely up there in the Team Principle stakes and for sure is very smart. The Mercedes team is from what I can see from the comfort of my armchair, well organised and well motivated. They clearly have very talented and dedicated staff and two drivers that are (currently) working together.
Whether Toto is better than Ross Brawn, Jean Todt, Ken Tyrell, Colin Chapman, Bruce McLaren, John Surtees, Enzo Ferrari, Ron Dennis, et al..? Tough call.
Without wanting to steer the thread too far off course.... re tyre profile heights - which has the lower rolling resistance?
(Accepted that lo-pros usually adversely affect fuel consumption (road car) which the increased (polar) inertia (and sometimes greater aero drag if tyre is wider) is usually (and correctly) blamed. Where does rolling resistance figure though. Feels counter intuitive to believe lo-pro has higher RR - has it?)
How would low profile tyres cope with the massive changes in down-force the tyres experience?

On my GLE I have gone from 265/45/20 Pirelli to 275/45/20 Avon. I honestly can not see any difference in fuel consumption, indicating little change in rolling resistance.
I can demonstrate improved kerb strike protection, a 2dba reduction in cabin noise at 70mph on my reference road, improved wet and dry grip, a perceived ride quality improvement and a reduced cost to me of £240 for the 4 tyres. That's about 3 fill ups of fuel.
I will have little 'rolling resistance' to buying another set when these have done a their currently projected 30k miles!
Agreed, but my best point of reference over a number of times of a trip I do regularly in a variety of climatic and traffic conditions. It's the best I can do with out my own private test track
Haven't watched Qually yet, but if Lewis blocked/affected Kimi's lap, then a 3-place penalty is right. Others got penalised, so should Lewis.Well he deserved it,went to sleep then took a weird course of action,instead of braking and letting the car through the bend he accelerates and drives across and off the track.
Lewis gets 3 place grid penalty for impeding Kimi. Can't remember the last time the grid was so mixed up. So, grid will start
1. LeClerc
2. Verstappen
3. Bottas
4. Magnussen
5. Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton drops to fifth on Austrian GP grid after penalty
