With his second podium finish of the season, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes rediscovered some pace in F1's return to Montreal last weekend.
Mercedes still doesn’t have the pace of Red Bull and Ferrari, and even after raising the ride height in Montreal, the cars still bounced. He was Sir Lewis Hamilton when he climbed from the car, not the veteran struggling to hold off his younger teammate and keep the leaders in sight. This is not a Rolls-Royce. And drivers should be aware of this,” said Franz Tost, the former driver-turned-head of AlphaTauri. “If the cars are too stiff, or it’s too difficult for them, maybe they should stay at home, in the living room, sit in the chair, and then they can do the races on TV or wherever.

The Mercedes-AMG One has been recorded going about a racetrack, and it has got everyone excited with its exhaust note.
The only thing left now is to binge-watch exhaust notes and fly-by videos once the car hits the public roads. The end result is a car that can be economical too and can go 11.2 miles on purely electric power and weigh just 3,730 pounds. There is just so much that we can go on talking about the Mercedes-AMG One. It had everyone excited when it was first announced, as we mentioned because it forced people to imagine just how good it will be when it becomes a reality. The reason for that is simple, ever since we got to know about what it will come with and the performance that it promises – it has blown the minds of car communities across the world. If you were to simply focus on the exhaust note, you would be hard-pressed to differentiate it from a Formula 1 car. And let’s be honest, the biggest draw for us car nerds is the hope that once such a car hits the road, it should become one of the best-sounding cars in the world.
