Furthermore, we still do not even know if Merc is actually pushing their cars. They can still be sandbagging with some engine power in reserve.
I do not believe that Ferrari have more HP than Merc, I think there is more at play here.
I honestly think Merc is running more downforce, because they can. I also think they are dialed back because they do not need it.
I bet they laughed every day in the preseason after a day of testing watching the Red cars trying so hard, knowing they had nothing.

I'm a Ferrari fan, and I'm tired of watching the Mercedes domination. With that said, I agree with everything you've written. Other than the race in which Leclerc ran away with it until his car failed him, Mercedes has been able to answer every charge Ferrari has made at them during the race. Ferrari has occasionally closed to within nearly a second of a Mercedes, then the Mercedes has just gotten with the program and walked away at will.
The mid season improvements will happen with Mercedes too, so I see no closing of the gap as a result.
It's a one horse show right now. Ferrari are not true contenders it seems.
