No, I agree that Verstappen is probably going to win, the RBR19 is incredible in his hands.
Ferrari got it right in Canada, just seem to have dropped behind Mercedes, or they should have been behind if Mercedes showed up on R01 day with their current concept.
I see Mercedes steadily improving, trading places with Aston. If they are lucky they’ll win a race, but at least they have a platform that behaves as expected on which they now can build (2024 is going to be the year aka next yearTM)
George will bounce back, or maybe Lewis started showing up again now that the car seems to have some potential and George just got a reality check. Time will tell, but I think he’ll bounce back.
Gasly,… give him time to acclimatize to the beast that is called Alpine. Or Watch Alpine ruin another potentially good driver.
I’m thinking on the same line, the no pods concept was not behaving per simulations so they ran very experimental setups.
If the correlation now is there he can focus on pushing the car.
Or we’ve seen it in the past, where Hamilton. Suddenly switches it on and leaves his competition in the dust. I’ve only seen Verstappen and Alonso keeping up when he does that, one of them is in superior machinery and the other is in more or less equal.
My thoughts…
Ferrari seem to think they are going in the right direction: BBC Report
I’m not sure I agree.
Mercedes will see steady improvements but it will take time. I think I read that the next big upgrade is due for the GB race.
George is struggling a little under the weight of being Lewis’ teammate. He will get through it though. He’s too good not to.
Gladly needs a result after all of the ill-feeling between the drivers. I can’t see it happening though.

My understanding is that the car is more predictable under breaking now. So Lewis must finally be comfortable to push the limits
Also wonder if Lewis stopped running test setups for car dev. like he did before allowing him to perform better, esp. on race days.

We need the Ferrari guy in here for a recap before this weekend. I need a refresher.
