You have to wonder the engine mode RBR is running. It must be aggressive. Aero adjustments canā€™t account for that. I feel good about Mercedesā€™ race pace, particularly on the medium. But thereā€™s going to be endless talk about what might be wrong with the chassis Lewis is using. Merc has picked the wrong season to act like some goofies.
Looks like they have a skinny wing but can still keep their downforce. That just gives them all sorts of options

I'm late but I think it's pretty clear the Red Bull is quicker over one lap. Apparently Honda brought a couple of upgrades to the engine for this race.

Good thing for Mercedes is that the car is good on its tires. But, while that made a difference in Spain, I'm not convinced the same will happen here especially with Checo close behind.
