    Still too early to judge. But lots of positive noise coming from Mercedes about correlation. Bring it on!

    They were great in Spain and Canada last year as well so I think it’s too early to tell. But it seems it’s much better handling wise now

      Also to be noted that at canada, merc, aston and ferrari where within a few tenths of each other like they have been for several other races in the year.

    Max has one race where he finishes with a bird in his brake duct and now teams think they’re catching up to red bull.

    Idk, maybe they are but I’m not getting my hopes up yet

      They aren’t even comparing to Max though. The only Red Bull mention in the article is saying they were fast enough to keep Checo behind over the duration of the race.

      It has been a pretty great turnaround, but they still have a lot of work to go. I think their car is still slightly behind Aston on general race pace, but they are mostly ahead of Ferrari and competitive with Alonso.
