The Mercedes Problem is EVEN WORSE Than You Think: th-cam.com/video/NxRnwa4urME/w-d-xo.html
What is your take on Hamilton’s friendship with Diddy? This might become a marketing disaster for Ferrari…
Is it only me that finds it weird how f1 fans jump the gun on drivers after a few performances?
It's one of the most annoying things about f1 fans and media. Suddenly people think Sainz is better than Hamilton.
it's the whole "you're only as good as your last race". Sainz is a great driver and has been the driver to put himself in the right place at the right time but people calling Leclerc washed, sacked the wrong driver, etc etc, is crazy considering Charles has outqualified Sainz in 9 of the last 10 or whatever it is
@@_Kat3n this exactly what I’m hinting at lool
@@motornaut and 8 of those 10 Charles was on the front row
it may sound like Will Buxton's quote but in Formula 1, you may be considered just as valubale as your recent results (it's harsh for sure, but not always wrong like for example Checo's case). There are few exceptions of course but imo there's nothing wrong with this point of view, this is just how it works for sportsmen and their teams
Hamilton starting his plot to destroy Mercedes as he leaves as the last champion of the team. 😭😭
It got me thinking, this op-ed.
Now we only start to realise how much of a glue Niki Lauda was to the team
Mercedes started their own plot to get Hamilton to retire but Ferrari called.
They don't need his help for that.
Max "hold my beer? 😅
Juan not only went to race in NASCAR, he set the track on fire.
Shame we didn't get that passion for the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Literally
And that's how he earned the nickname "Jet Dryer Montoya" in certain circles!💀
In all seriousness, he was a great personality in NASCAR, to bad he never got a championship.
@@randallellison6421 He was great on the large non-plate tracks and road courses, but was Meh on the short and intermediate tracks.
@@DaveCompton5150 yeah, that's true, but I also lend that Chip Ganassi Racing not really being on par with the Hendrick, Penske, and Roush teams in that respect, plus the whole merger with Dale Earnhardt Incorporated I felt hampered them too.
I can’t see any scenario where Lewis would quit in the middle of the season after being with the team for this many years that just doesn’t seem like him. He doesn’t strike me as a quitter. You don’t get to be a seven time world champion by being a quitter.
@0:27 NEW CAMERA ANGLE LORE
Taking a sabbatical at 30, as Lauda did, is very different to taking a sabbatical in your late 30's as Michael Schumacher did. Schumacher wasn't the same when he returned, so I think it would be a big mistake for Hamilton to take time out of F1.
Schumacher was the same when he returned. Monaco 2012 should tell you everything you need to know.
The car was fast on one lap pace but would cause too much tyre degradation.
@@livef1fan473I’m sorry but “the 7 time world champion didn’t lose any ability because he got pole this one time”
@@livef1fan473 Schumacher had a major racing bike accident in 2009, result was a basal skull fracture (commonly a fatal injury in its own right, in motorsport fatalities in particular); a severed artery to the brain; damage to the second artery; severe concussion; neck damage; muscle damage; and severely limited range of movement in the neck (which lasted well into his return year). When Massa was injured in 2009 Schumacher tested the ferrari to be a replacement, but he just could not stand the forces.
Yes he wasnt the same anymore, on tracks like monaco the gforces are much lower, but on high speed tracks he suffered. The ski accident, where he hit his head and neck once again, was the fatal blown for his normal life.
So yeah Rosberg outperformed him, now you know the reason why.
@livef1fan473 if he was the same, you mean to tell us that Rosberg was a better driver than Schumacher?
Law is more consistent than Verstappen 🔥
Let just wait till one of his camera set on fire cuz of raising temp on that attic so Law needs to retire once in awhile lol
You’re probably my favourite F1 content creator. Each video is always interesting and the new camera angle changes you’ve been doing recently are a nice addition. Keep it up ❤
JPM was a hell of a driver in his day, but he never showed setup skills - he didn't seem to have the engineering nous that Lauda famously displayed. Great fun to watch him wring the neck of a car, one of the very best at that, but don't recall seeing him improve a car over time. I've missed his presence in F1 since.
Laws, you have a knack of provoking thinking beneath the surface of things. Keep at it please!
My heart jumped when you started to talk about Juan Pablo Montoya, the reason I started watching the F1 when I was little. Thank you so much for your content, I absolutely love it! ❤
Hamilton should use the next 21 races to work on his qualifying and racecraft. The car is capable enough to fight for top 10 and points.
In life, you either win or you learn.
I think Russel need more work on his race craft. I don’t think you know what race craft is if you think Lewis is lacking that
@@s-pracing8514I think he meant to say race pace, which in all honesty has been unlike Lewis so far.
@@charleswilfred6463 yes, lack of pace in both qualifying and the race is right. But let’s be real, it’s only been 3 races and at the start of 2023 he also had a rough start, once he accepts that he’s in a bad car for another year his performances will get better. Even though in my opinion he doesn’t have anything to prove, no other driver has been this relevant for this long
To be honest, Lewis Hamilton reminds me a lot another 7 champ, Nasacar driver Jimmy Johnson. Both really started to go on the decline by their 6 championship and it was just a slow decline after both got their 7th. Sure there are time where their brilliance were shown but more and more mistakes happens with how they raced overtime. We'll see if Lewis makes it with Ferrari, but I personally have my doubts.
Don’t let LH worshipers see this. They’re already starting to make accusations of Mercedes sabotaging Lewis because they refuse to believe that he simply could be past his prime.
I have to say I kind of agree? LH said that he wanted a break.
Well right now is the best time to take a long break from F1. It’s not a car he can win a championship with even if it improves.
So if you’re going to take a break at anytime, now is the time to do it. Come back fresh and ready to go for the new season and a lot more motivated than if he sticks at merc for the rest of the season.
Sure a small PR may happen, but I would expect more excitement at whoever fills Hamiltons seat for the rest of the season. How well that driver does.
I don’t think it’ll be as much as a Press issue as Laws makes it out to be.
Happy to see this channel thriving! I can't imagine how hard you've worked all these years!
If Lewis wins with Ferrari and then retires he will be the last world champion of McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari 😭😭😭😭
Hey man, nice video again. If I could make a friendly recommendation for you: slightly condense down the points your'e making and shorten the video length. They'll become more watchable and get more views in my opinion. Keep up the good work man.
Let me tell you I’ve been liking these camera angle changes you’ve been doing lately! Keep it up law :)
The thing people don’t realize is Mercedes can’t even develop over the course of a season anymore. Something they’ve been extremely successful at in previous regs.
They have zero clue in the fundamental issues behind this car and what’s funny is the same problems that we are seeing they are saying they are learning lol. You have a new car concept where new problems should be coming up. Instead they are trying to learn the same problems that’s been plaguing them for the last three years 😂.
The best this car can fight for is P6-P10 in race trim. Sure than can qualifying anywhere in the top 10 because it’s close in qualifying but the real speed of that car always shows in the race. Qualifying is not where the points are gained bro lol.
You can have the best qualifying car but if you don’t even have the race pace and overall balance across multiple sessions that’s more constructors money you’ll lose over the season.
Told people Mercedes will finish 5th this season. Lewis doesn’t care about his head to heads this year and qualifying against George. It’s championship or bust for him. He doesn’t go to sleep thinking about beating his teammate.
He wants to be in the fight to be competitive that’s it. Be in the fight. Just be there to COMPETE.
I think Hamilton should take an immediate sabbatical OR skip 3-4 races and let Mick Schumacher/Vesti drive his car. That would be a cool (champion/sportsman) thing for him to do, help younger drivers get a chance to shine.
LawVS would be a better Manager for them
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯
i'm so happy your channel is booming lately, great video as always!
I swear, seeing a 7-time world champion acting like he's got Senioritis is insane
Counterpoint on Fernando Alonso: he _did_ get too fed up with McLaren's F1 team and skipped 2017's Monaco Grand Prix during that tenure to race at the Indy 500. Yes that was with McLaren's indycar team and for one Grand Prix in the year but the fact he jumped ship mid-season at all indicates he's more fickle than you think.
Yes. Probably a compromise to keep him sweet after the no opt-out expired
Wasn't that with Button replacing him, with the brilliant onboard radio to Fernando on the phone: "I'm gonna piss in your seat mate"?
@@haribo836 Certainly was.
"Jumped ship" no, found motivation for ego and the remainder of the season with the #8 performance team. Enjoy Lewis @legoferrari44.
Hamilton is chilling. i bet you that mentally is completely at ease and not thinking about this season.
If somehow the car gets better he will be right back on it, if not, hes just chilling.
Running to the journalists and complaining about the car every time he hops out isn't chilling
@@abrammill9365He isn't running to the journalists, journalists are running to him
@@Dishanta_Goswami they run to each other
I think LH should perhaps step aside ....his negativity is not good for the team. It is not what MB need now. LH is not competent in dealing with adversity and the really great drivers are exactly strong there, adversity. I was always told, "If you are good at the difficult unpleasant stuff, imagone how good you will be at the stuff you really like". LH is drowning in this unpleasant stuff and his voice "carries a gravitas" no-one needs, least of all, MB. He is just too used to "Lewis gets what Lewis wants". He leaves at Suzuka and it then free to SIM drive for Ferrari until next year and give them the feedback he wants. If LH wants to be in the same league as Alonso, he needs to start behaving like it and open his trap only when he has something constructive (F1 related, not political ideology) to say.
Alonso got my respect as time went on-one of the few who drive fast on and off road. If I'm a pro driver, I would get a rich career like playing the career mode of a racing game, focus on one series but try to get some spot entry on other variants as possible.
Speaking of which, I kinda hope a certain world champion can get his endurance debut, virtual to reality.
LH leaving Mercedes now, nonsense from people with no clue! His reputation would be destroyed by the very same people supporting him now in the team. Same idiocy of articles saying swap now with Sainz.
3:13 no im pretty sure it was exactly like that, is Ron Dennis we are talking about here
The fanbase and media definitely need to calm down and use some common sense rather than jumping to dramatic conclusions after 3 races into a 24 race season. Writing Mercedes off, making Sainz out to be the second coming, even condemning Ricciardo as finished...all far too soon. Don't forget that at this stage LAST year, Perez was being hailed as a championship contender, Mclaren as a disaster, and so on. All these knee-jerk and impatient theories, condemnations, and over-hyped things...just calm down and use some perspective.
Which is what I did...
@@LawVS s'alright...was direction at fanbase/media in general, not you. This kind of video is what we need.
Drama, hype, passionate irrational Fans jumping to conclusions, is what F1 Motor Racing is all about, was all about, and always will be. I think watching competitive Chess games would be more suitable for you.
@@SaintKimbo No that what the social media brought and its mindless twits follow, reality tv is a misnomer. Although you have the right to b u.
Law... They shouldn't have listened to Lewis at all!! Apparently the zeropod does work with a PU that can deliver plus an actual generational talent and not just a great driver who was boosted by being extremely lucky
Oh, and one more thing. If Max is in the situation that he can't win the championship, but help Fernando win it against Lewis then he will absolutely do it. No question about it
Don’t know how you do it with a newborn and solid content almost daily , but bravo good sir!
I agree with you, Law. The whole video is exactly how I feel.
Ferrari wouldn't like this either. I'm fairly sure they're keen to not only have a driver that's still in the rhythm but who can observe how Mercedes fixed any problems they had and give them notes.
Look, most drivers don't make it to F1. Of those extremely lucky ones that do, most don't win races much. Of those that win races, even less win a championship. Of those that win a championship, *hardly any* win multiple world championships.
This is the downside of acheiving truly great success in sport. When things inevitably wind down, for some it becomes impossible to simply enjoy how far you've made it and what you've achieved. They want *more*. One gets the impression that the sky is falling with Hamilton in his interviews, body language, radio calls etc.
Life could be worse. He's a world famous F1 driver with hundreds of milllions of dollars and massive celebrity, legions of raptorous supporters and friends and admirers. He's literally been knighted. He's one of the most fortunate people on earth. Life could be worse.
So he's finishing 7th or 8th instead of 1st right now? It happens! He's getting older. I don't recall Schumacher moping his way miserably through his final years at Mercedes. I think he recognised that even though he wasn't winning races and championships anymore, he was still a pretty fortunate guy racing super fast guys, enjoyinh his life.
I think Hamilton needs to temper his expectations, do his best and just try to enjoy his last racing years while he's in an F1car. Maybe he'll do better at Ferrari, maybe he won't, but nothing lasts forever.
Well said, no matter how much talent he's got, at 39 years of age, there's no way that he will put it on the line as much as a Guy in his early 20's will, it's just the way it goes, but Hamilton and his fans just can't seem to accept it it.
George has proven that fact, both this season and last season, sure George is not as consistent, but that's what happens when you push it to the limits, and beyond, as opposed to just getting it home to the finish.
Hamilton at 39 and about 95% of his abilities, will beat a lot of Guys with consistency and experience, but not the top 3 or 4 young, hungry and fearless, regardless of the car.
Love it ,you speak real facts and truth. Nice work. 👏
I do like Hamilton, but i do question how strong how his feedback / technical knowledge is.
Wait, Lawrence likes both dragon ball AND f1? Simply lovely.
Good analysis mate...
6:19 "Adrian, please can you tell us what's wrong with our car."
"that is the most beautiful" Ferrari 2012 Malaysia
Mercedes may work tooth and nail to improve their car, so is everyone else. The engineers not listening to Lewis has a reason. He never showed he is able to provide guidance to improve a car. When asked for a tire preference he moans "you have the data man". He is never satisfied with the tire choice or strategy. He is a very fast driver in a good car and exelent at tire managment but that's it.
Mad respect for that. I know how much work it takes to do a cover and at that magnitude...well played 👏
Great video.
It comes down to he is employed by Mercedes even if you are at the back you still have a job to help develop the car and do your best in the race
Montoya would've should've destroyed Hamilton in 2007 and 2008 if he had stayed.
Montoya would've also destroyed Alonso in 2007.
Nice video masakox
Always something to learn especially from a bad car. He should take note of what is not working on the Mercedes to steer Ferrari away from making similar mistakes in set-up and design.
He has had more input into the latest Merc than ever before, according to reports, and it's a complete dog of a car, why would Ferrari take any notice of what he says?
Mercedes apologized for not listening to him. He's had little to do with the current car.@@SaintKimbo
Ships getting real.
I think he's checked out of Mercedes, and he's said he's not happy... Now's the time to give another driver a shot with the lack of seats in F1. He's sounding like he's as down as 2016 to me.
You’re forgetting Kimi Raikonen in 2013 with lotus
Kimi wasn't greedy just tired of working for free.
@@rodclark5831ultimately the problem is the car and the company
Only Brits would care. At least Mercedes won’t be held back by him & can get more points with a replacement driver. If you look at his performance from 2022-now, he’d likely be cut from the team, if he hadn’t been as successful in the past. If his career started in 2022, he likely wouldn’t have a Mercedes ride anymore
Hamilton has been on a decline since early 2021 when he started making lot of mistakes. He's done as a top driver imo.
I'll come back to a lot of comments next year. Lewis isn't Seb, Lewis has always done this, especially for cars he doesn't understand is play around with setup similar to last year once he finds that setup he's going to back to his usual form. I don't see any decline especially when he finished 3rd last year. And finally the Ferrari is an easy car to drive even Vasseur said this so Lewis won't have any issues next year.
This unfortunately. Elkann is going to get his big branding push but on track this is going to be nothing but a drawback for Ferrarri.
Lewis has almost always been error-prone but since beginning of 2021 he's progressively got worse and worse...
@@willf1sv5 what mistake? All he's struggling with is understanding the car... When a driver has a lack of confidence they lose a tenth every corner thinking not driving on instinct
Hamilton has not been great since 2020. I've seen a lot of other people starting to say this as well. Fact is a lot of people don't want to admit it but it's true.
Why is this even a topic after signing a good agreement with Ferrari? The 2nd best team and this season and last season's only other race winner so far.
Hamilton needs to put his head down and drive. The last two years he had inconsistent starts to the year, but he and the car will get better as the season continues. Hell he could be in a Sauber or Alpine right now.
It'll depend on how much Merc can do with the car within the season. Mclaren was only a winter late when changing concept. Mercedes is 2 seasons late when understanding their concept. But I hope they can turn it around.
New camera angle back down the ladder...? Like it!
Thanks man
If sitting out means you're unfit, how do you explain Alain Prost??
This season will be extremely long for Hamilton (and maybe maddening)
Mercedes should drop him at summer break and bring in their new driver, Carlos Sainz!!
I see Lewis whatever he wants being put on gardening leave after the summer break. Can't let him go to Ferrari with any info on mercs car next year. Also gives toto a chance to try some drivers for a race or two. Gauge for next year.
@3:36 Lauder was only 30 years old 😂
O.o Lewis isnt a quitter? Um Baku 2023 would like to talk to you. Lewis had to be told to finish the race 1/3 of the way thru because lewis wanted to retire a car that had no problem to "save the engine" all because he didnt want to finish the race that car setup.
I mean if he doesn't want to drive the car he can let a Vesti have chance...i don't think he wants to end his time with the team that gave him 6 titles this way
Both Russell and Hamilton are underperforming tbh even though that car is not great. I still it's certainly better than they're results suggest..
I wonder if the mojo wasn’t crushed with the pre-season ditch by LH to Ferrari. Couldn’t be good for overall team morale. LH’s bad mojo move seems to have pumped up Carlos tho.
Are u a f1 driver by any chance?
What makes you think they are underperforming? I completely disagree. The car, by all the performance statistics, is performing at its current limits.
Nikki Lauda raced in 1982. For McLaren I believe.
There have only been 2 races. What are we even talking about? 😑
Random thought, it’d be cool to see Hamilton in a Ferrari 499p doing endurance racing.
true, concept changes take time, but ferrari managed the concept change way better. it's not a real excuse tbh
Q - Why Lewis Hamilton should NOT quit this F1 season now
A - we need the lols.
Yeah, although it's sad seeing the greats in free fall, it's like a car crash you just can't take your eyes off it.
Here just give us your overalls cause we're gonna need them.bernie🏎️
We think LH genuinely wants to make the W15 work as he has already put the most effort into creating a compeditive car, over the 'off season' to date.
We believe that LH wants to leave the Mercedes team with his head held high ......... especially since the team has changed so much to help him regain confidence & trust in the car's performance.
At the end of the day, the Mercedes customers have proved that they are producing a very reliable, competitive power plant but have a much better understanding of the bodies aerodynamics!!
Even if Lewis ditched Merc I don’t think they’d let mick race full time, probably get Ocon from alpine early and they sub in Doohan
But Lewis won’t ditch them midseason
Maybe JPM didn't want to live in the F1 feudal system
A little off topic, but are you and the guy from SciShow twins?
Who cares? Let's be real... should Hamilton really win the title with Ferrari in 2025, he'd be the third oldest champion in the history of Formula 1. Only Fangio and Farina were older, in a bygone era some 70 years ago, what are the odds for that to happen in modern F1? He's just there to pimp Ferrari's shareholder value, just like Schumacher and Mercedes, a big name was needed to pique investors' interest.
Make a video about how Ferrari could be the title contender for 2026 and them being possibly closer to redbull in 2025
Sure 😂
@@indochinaconnex4308 I .ean Ferrari look strong right now
Go Carlos
Do you think the w15 has potential to be a race winning car
Well, it's been reported that Lewis had more input into the W15 than any other Merc, ......so no.
It’s honestly so hilarious. He wanted to prove he was better than the car and it failed horribly. It’s a combination of things. For one, Hamilton lost his competitive advantage he had for a decade and needed to adapt. Second, he wasn’t ready to adapt. He never had to adapt before and wanted to blame the team… however, his teammate is doing well with adapting to the car…. So it’s clear that Lewis either isn’t a good driver overall or he is not a good driver that can adapt to a new machine. One has to exists based on the results. It’s just funny how Hamilton could have saved his legacy if he never allowed a bad car to be in his resume. The fact a bad car entered the resume and his teammate is doing well makes it even worse.
Enemy driving the car 😂
Only motivation for Lewis this year is beating George imho. He finished P3 last year in drivers, but this season seems to be a lost one for Mercedes .
I think George means nothing to Lewis. His eyes are on Max and being world champion again. We saw it last year. Finishing 3rd meant nothing to him. If George and Lewis were fighting for the title then yes. But finishing 5th in front of George... big whoop. Who cares? Only twitter and hack F1 pundits that need talking points. When you won 7 titles and had 103 wins, your goal is winning races and getting titles only.
@@kev0802 i see that perspective. I just think, in my opinion everyone wants to beat their teammate .
@@dcrasta I agree. But Lewis is a special case. He has achieved so much. He has the most wins. The most titles with Schumacher. Beating George doesn't add anything to that. Same with losing to him nowadays. However Max is catching up, and he knows he will probably be the one who can stop him getting more wins and titles. He is focused on that. As opposed to most drivers in F1 who haven't achieved much. Beating their teammate adds to their success because they have no titles or many wins.
@@kev0802
You fanboys are hilarious, if Lewis doesn't care about beating George, what the hell is he doing in F1 ??
Is he just floundering around, going through the motions, waiting to get to Ferrari, wth hopefully a winning car, and then he'll pull his finger out and cream everybody?
You Guys are delusional.

And the voice of tfs goku
Never got to a video this early
“Maybe they should have not tried to change the rules to their advantage, which turned out to be to their detriment.” Oh yeahhh, I forgot about that. Fun times. Would have liked to be a fly on the wall in the Mercedes pit box, when it turned out that the new rules only made RBR quicker. “Noo Mikey, nooo!”
Charlie chose Mikey to succeed him and Toto and team LH whinned him off contract. Now we live with Liberty, no improvements to F1 structure available.
At least Bernie and the FIA(did I just say that) enjoyed good racing.
Toto is reminding me of Ron Dennis where ego allows success but breeds contempt and rot from within. Victory is due to the team not the principal add the media and a greedy ego has its day in the spotlight at the expense of truth. While Niki grew his own airline, Lewis could move to Milan and make some frumpy clothes, quit. Go Carlos.
I would kick him out if i was merc! Put Vesti in the car for this year, see how he stacks up against Russell if he preforms lets give him the seat for next season as well, if he doesn't put sainz in the car at least for a year
It's not as tragic with Hamilton as he himself, Mercedes and the media make it sound. He had a race winning car for the first 16 years in F1, and now since last year, he has a podium capable car. Every driver will have to drive shitty cars at one point of their F1 career, most often at the start. And a podium capable car isn't even a shitty car, Hamilton doesn't even know what that is. Just ask Hulkenberg how his F1 cars have been, or ask Russell about his first car(s), or Verstappen, or Leclerc or Alonso for his list of shitty ones. Literally every driver on the grid except Hamilton have had shitty cars at some point.
The difference is, unlike hamilton, the others didn't go into sulk mode, they just drove the crap out of what they had.
The way Hamilton contract talks took long to complete says a lot about the problems going on behind the scenes.
this reads the same as everyone suddenly screaming there's a title fight because red bull had a single break disk not play nice.
no.
We were hoping that the Mercedes team would resurrect the W14, after updating the car to match the RB 20. ha-ha
Then rekindle the 2021 seasons excitement, created by a Max v LH rivalry. ha-ha
The only problem with to the above scenario is .......... Toto is far too arrogant to couple the last 2 years of detailed data collection with the RB's 'zero pod' aerodynamic solutions to create a car capable of challenging the RB 20 this year.
Lew has basically got 2 choices.
1 - Leave. Somehow.
2 - Stay and grin and bear it.
AMG's built a shed.
Again.
For the third time.
But.
He's going to Ferrari next year. He has zero responsibility. All he's gotta do is drive the car, not his problem if it's a shed, just do his best. Everyone knows the things a mess, they know he's not happy, and they know he's being pushed out of development. All he's gotta do is drive the car.
Were I Hammer, I'd even give up my seat for a few races to Mick just to get him some wheeltime. The car's a shed, so it's not like they're worried about getting points or a WDC/WCC, give the kid some practice.
I unno, fake Covid or something.
It’s only been 3 races! Seems like jumping the gun to quit now!
LH always said.. "Never give up!"*
*unless last year, when "they should save the engine.
(Yeah, I'm being very sarcastic. In both sentences).
That was 2022 buddy
I have notice that Lewis haters love to talk about him and remember minute of the details to use against him…so rent free
@12:37 I suggest M. to get their head down, get to work and keep their lid shut until they can do some talking on the track.👴🤫
the man in the attic has spoken. no more input needed.
Too late for that
At least Mercedes can rest easy knowing they have Logan Sargeant to fall back on... Oh wait no that's kimi, sorry logan
if Hammy doesn't drive his electric SUV in whatever that series is called then my guess with his time off he would virtue signal some more and buy more clothes to model
Lewis should now walk away but he won’t walk away he will stay and piss off toto wolf who wants him to quit this season
At this point i wouldn't blame him if he does 😊.
