I think the car's potentials are closer than it appears. The difference is in the ability to "turn on "the tires.
Mercedes is able to do it. Ferrari is not. At Red Bull. Max can do it, Pierre cannot.
Also, Ferrari need to tap into the Pelican Brain Trust regarding when to pit drivers for new rubber or swap position on track. They let Vettel hold up Leclerc for too many laps while he was handicapped by flat spotted tires, then compounded the error by letting Leclerc hold up his teammate when Vettel was faster.
Can't their strategists follow a simple following time differential?
I'm glad the FIA has Mercedes' mailing address, so they can just send them the trophies for this season.
