So next week's race is back here at the same track with no changes besides the name?

The season long Max vs Lewis battle will obviously be very exciting this year

But there feels like a good dozen drivers capable of competing for P5-P10 every week and that is much more awesome

Midfield is best it has been. Everyone is close, Danny couldn't catch a break at the beginning

If Toto is being honest there is no more battle. Merc stopped developing the car and is focused on next year.

If Toto starts hanging back at the factory instead of being at the races we definitely know that is true.

Mercedes will need wins with Max DNFs to have any hope. RB are just plain faster and that includes checko over bottas.

Russell is cursed in that Williams. He's possibly cursed in the Merc, too, but it's a small sample size.

Anyone catch Floyd Hamilton in his post-race interview pointing out the new found speed of the red bulls? Found it interesting that he might point that out because, you know.

Red Bull specifically targeted Mercedes strength with the new rear wing package. Mercedes got out-developed in the off-season, that’s all there is to it.

Humble Hamilton is actually okay. He's a completely different person.

We’re only 1/3 of the way through the season, no way Merc has conceded already.

Totto said development has shifted. But I agree, even if it has, I think they would reverse course.

Not sure how you can say that when RB has yet to finish 1-2 and both Hamilton and Bottas consistently out-qualify and out-finish Perez.

Max is just better.

RBR is faster on the straights, top speed, and the fast corners. Short straights and some medium speed corners are the only place Merc holds an advantage.

Mercs only 1/2 quali was because Max had his much faster quali lap DQ'd.

Red Bull have a superior car right now. Not sure any logical person would say otherwise.

This is literally what 95% of race car drivers in Hamilton's position would say, and he is not being a dick by any stretch.

Yet you make it so, so dickish. Cuck.

Both hold true for me. RB faster and max being better.

Since there will be an engine freeze I think everyone better get comfortable watching Red Bull dominate the next 4 years.

Honda is leaving in a highnote and leaving RBR with an epic engine.

Didn't say he was a dick, but if you think that, it's on your mind.

After winning so much, he doesn't take to being second easily and seems a bit whiny after being out performed.

Hamilton haters are insufferable. Even when he isn't winning he is taking up space in yalls head.

I'm blown away by Honda's commitment to this season. It's not what you'd expect from a cancelled project.

I wonder if they've had any second thoughts, given how successful Red Bull has been.
