McLaren and Mercedes are simply better, Ferrari is more inconsistent but should be better...and yeah, with Verstappen being the only one able to drive this car for real, that's gonna be tough. They won't magically find another driver who can (I mean, Lawson is not at all a bad driver, Tsunoda is definitely excellent as well and Hadjar, who has lots of raw pace, would probably face the same issue), and just making the entire car competitive for two drivers after at least two years where it's just been tough isn't gonna happen neither...

 

Oh well, as long as at least the podium riders are within a few seconds of each other on the track, it's at least something  

 

Btw, I guess Hamilton regrets he left Mercedes Mercedes seems better than Ferrari and better than last three seasons.

Ferrari has just been chaotic for years now  

 

One would expect Vasseur leading the team to at least take away some of the typical Italian chaos in these kind of things, but judging by the rainstorm of strategies and confusing moments....nah, not really

I heard some rumours in Romania last month that Max could go to Mercedes next year if Red Bull won't improve the car...have you heard something about this?

Nothing too realistic. To be fair, rumours of Verstappen going to team X or Y (mostly Mercedes and Aston Martin) have been going on for years, I'm still expecting him to sit out his entire contract with Red Bull

Miami coming up. Fake marina has been joined by some artists' names (from the Brad Pitt movie) being shown in the garage instead of drivers' names. I have no effin' clue who Raye is but there ya go...

She's a British R&B (pop/jazz/soul) singer.

Lando Norris won the Monaco GP yesterday, which was a highly entertaining affair. As usual not so much in terms of overtaking, but the different strategies due to there being two mandatory pit stops instead of one and the usual constant, absolutely never-ending pressure of Monaco's walls being centimeters away at every turn - and said pressure being applied for the lead of the race for many laps this time - made for a cool and tense race.

 

Plus Mercedes' antics were just outright hilarious, I have been entertained from start to finish

Going to be a fun one heading to Spain and concluding our triple header. Excited for how Mclaren and Aston Martin will do

After how went he might wish he was with any other team except for Sauber or Alpine.
