This is probably the correct prediction. Mercedes will (hopefully) get closer, especially in in the second half of the season.
It’s more of a battle between Mercedes and Aston Martin for 2nd until 2026.
Ferrari will keep Ferrari’ing so keep the popcorn close.
I agree, it really feels like a masochist situation. I hope the team sorts their problems out (looking at you Xavi) or he gets a chance at a different top team.
I feel the same way about Lando Norris. He’s a great driver but constantly given a subpar car.
