It's called "sandbagging". Mercedes are so full of it. They know that their cars are much faster than everyone else so they throw a race or two to give the whole spectacle an appearance of fairness.

I really hope something is done to change this in 2018. Or we'll be stuck with Formula E..........I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

ugh.... I could understand when they do that in pre-season or FP1,2 and 3.

but throw in a race or two....

I don't think they will do it until they've at least claimed the CC.

I agree, there is to much at stake for brand recognition. There is no way Mercedes wants Ferrari to be close to them.
