What I like most about the current Mercedes situation (aside from a break from Hamilton winning all the time, and being pleased ugly cars are slow), is that it reminds people how important the car is in F1, and how good all drivers are...
If Sir Lewis, 7x WC who lapped the field in Brasil last year cannot drag his POS car above 14th - and gets a little embarrassed by his 4th finishing teammate, it's a nice kick to the collective mindset...
Have some mercy for the backmarkers in evil cars... The press is all over the place. After the first races, Leclerc was a "V2.0 of himself" (not), then he bins it once in a wet race while trying to race and he's "back to his old ways"... I gotta say though, Russell is mighty impressive. The one race he joined Mercedes last year and should have won was incredible given he was newish to the car. And now what he's doing to Lewis, wow.... Even without the luck he's had with safety cars, he at least matched him. I was not expecting him to be this good. Goes to show you the talent level all over the grid, after that it's just confidence and momentum !
It was nice while it lasted but I fear Ferrari will not match RedBull's development...
