This Mercedes tyre testing lark is going to possibly end up very badly for them. No matter how much they say they didn't benefit many will look at Monaco and see a car that in most cases couldn't do two laps without wearing their tyres out win.

As I mentioned before I did not expect the Mercedes tyres to hold out in Monaco. Actually looking over the pre-race commentary no one did. At the very least it was expected to be not as good as the others.

There is absolutely no way that those days of testing didn't benefit Mercedes. They had all the time in the world to try different settings that would just be impossible during limited practice sessions.

I like Mercedes but this stinks to high hell.. or low heaven.
