    Err...no. Black objects also radiate heat more effectively and given that the engine will be significantly hotter than the outside air temperature its more likely to help with cooling.

    Lesson noted, stop taking physics lessons from a F1 page :Dhttps://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.could-mercedes-new-black-livery-be-problematic-for-performance-in-austria.5fwRCkQHTkeHZv8Qeq0euM.html

    Norris Podium would be great, he did so much for pr during the enforced break.

    Been waiting so long for this. Hoping to see a good Williams performance. Anyone but Hamilton for the win.

    Was expected Racing Points would be faster than McLaren in the race. If McLaren can hold them back through this first stint it'll be interesting.

    Someone needs to have a word with the race director. This isn’t the Lewis Hamilton show.

    If you listen closely, you can hear millions of Dutch people reaching for the remote.

    Not just Dutch people. Max was the only hope of a decent race.

    Some drivers are getting abuse for decided to not take a knee before the race, Norris and LeClerc two drivers think.

    The idea that not performing these gestures = you're a racist is moronic, and with Hamilton all but saying if you don't do it, it will "divide the grid" is just another form of bullying on his part.

    Anyway........ let's get a McLaren podium today :D
    Not racist but definitely privileged. Especially when two of the drivers are POC. And if its "bullying" to get highly paid, public figures to take a stand, more than happy for Lewis (who has decried racism his entire career) to bully the white drivers who haven't a clue what racism really is.

    The commentators keep talking about the Racing Point having great race pace, I'm not seeing it, Perez struggling to get by Norris and Stroll going backwards.

    Real shame Max is out, Mercedes 1-2 and easy afternoon.
