I wouldn’t say Red Bull has dominated. Max has but even he struggled for the first half of last season and unless they make big leaps with the car (not just the engine) both RB teams are going to be mid-pack for the most part.
Mercedes v Ferrari at both levels. Their engines are good, giving the teams using them an advantage.
Obviously, the main teams are benefitting the most right now. If the others can dial it in, then it may get more competitive. As long as McLaren can stay on track - literally, they may show up nicely.
Audi seems to be okay in the engine department.
I’m sure we’ll see plenty more DNS and DNF over the next couple of races.
Personally, I’m not enjoying the new regs more or less than the last ones. I like that the cars are smaller and lighter (mostly) but they’ve definitely been nerfed on the straights.
I’m very interested to see how this weekend goes. It’s still early and I’m very likely to be wrong about a lot of things.
As opposed to Red Bull dominating the last couple seasons?
Or as opposed to Mercedes v Ferrari because all other manufacturers pulled out?
