Yea it's indeed a shame that Merc is just gonna run away with it for 2 more years at least. Full credit goes to them though, they clearly have a proper team with a friendly environment which reflects their performance. Best I can see Ferrari is 2017 esq, where they had a crap engine but good handling.
It could be more of the conditions which led to RB's lack of balance rather than the chassis itself per se, cause the 2 Austria races they were more than fine with the balance iirc. We'll have to see for Silverstone though, if they're fine with that track it could be a case where the RB only exceeds in high speed tracks.
In fairness though, 2019 only got exciting towards the 2nd half of the season, otherwise it was quite poor apart from some outliers like Canada (still gutted about that one), so maybe there's still hope for this season :P
Ye Bottas can have the pace in tracks where he's good at like Austria and Russia, but he doesn't really have the full season strength tbh. Honestly I think his main fault is his inability to quickly get overtakes done, he seems to wait a lot until he can secure a clean pass rather than actually trying to disrupt the guy in front like Max this race or Vettel in Bahrain 2018 (kinda like Kimi in Ferrari lol). But I guess bottas being a certain #2 at least prevents Mercedes from having another Ham-Ros toxic situation lmao.
Mainly cause of the engine + too draggy they just don't have any pace xd. Like we saw in the race of Leclerc was just holding everybody out (even before his softs were completely ded). Tbh I don't think Red Bull is doing that bad, or maybe it could be just Max. Like this race Max was able to hold Bottas for P2 (which I guess isn't the hardest thing to do in fairness) and Austria Albon could've actually won the race if it wasn't for the Lewis master plan.
Honestly don't really see Ferrari making too many gains this year or the next for that matter. Considering that development is kinda frozen, and their current upgrade package hardly put them back on the top they'll probably struggle for some more lol. But oh well, glad I don't have to care for that toxic team anyways next year once Seb leaves
ye but Ferrari are struggling to even fight Mclaren and Renault lol. I agree they're faster this weekend mainly cause Hungary has no need for engine powah, otherwise they'd be right back behind tbh
Red Bull seems like an odd one tbh, they were fine in Austria but seem to be struggling here so idk.

You may think it's too mainstream and the first episodes are kind of meh, but that shit > everything else on yo list.
