If Mercedes is sandbagging and the W14 becomes this performance leader until 2026, how is losing a year or two a bad thing? I think the mindset needs to change for F1 - you’re going to have off years to build for the future like all sports. At least that’s how I see it. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect any team to design a new car and hit all aspects of it out of the park. If there was no cost cap, I would 100% agree with you but F1 is now aligned with all sports operating under a salary cap. |

Ultimately, everyone expects their favourite team to win, but reality is with the direction F1 is heading, decade-long dominance is likely not going to happen again - a team would have to be extremely lucky to develop a car that is the best for the current rules. If not you’re spending those years playing catch up using the cost cap in multiple years trying to improve just like any other sport. |

In my opinion Horner should be most worried about Ferrari. They had a seriously quick car last year, but with a poorly managed team and some questionable driving at times. Last edited by M3WC; 02-27-2023 at 04:57 PM.. |

It's pretty simple ,this season the RB19 is a lot lighter . The key is : A lighter cockpit tube and that wasn't cheap . There's also a big chance that LEW will be beaten by an Aston !

I am aware of tires Pirelli made available for the race weekend. I was referring to quick times from testing. RB was over 3 tenths quicker on a harder tire...C4. The next two quickest times were done on glory runs on C5 tire by Ham and Bottas. We never got to see the gap on same tire, with Max in the car. RB never showed their cards in testing.

Mercedes is well known for their extreme sandbag saga's. One thing is for sure , LEW is the best spy of the field
