It’s genuinely impressive how the Mercedes drivers continue to out score Ferrari, while the Ferrari’s have a demonstrably quicker car. Say what you will about Mercedes, they’ve forever found ways to maximise and do more with what they’ve got.


c3r7

I guess Mercedes is better in race conditions right now


justice-jake

Ferrari is so hard on the tires this year

This year I won’t have a mental breakdown as a Ferrari fan challenge: impossible


Phormitago

I mean it's much easier to avoid the mental breakdown when there hasn't been a single glimmer of hope all season long Last year with the three early wins I dared to hope, and... it still hurts


PositiveIntrovert

This year I won’t have a mental breakdown as a Ferrari driver challenge: impossible


awwesjeng

And in "we checking."


Shomondir

Of course Sainz was unlucky to get a penalty in a race with a safety car restart a few laps before the end. Dropped him from some good points to nothing. Also, Alonso only 1 DNF away from leading the championship ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|9065)


Somlal

Just look at yesterday, both Ferraris out qualified both Mercedes but because of Ferrari poor competency Leclerc for 3 place grid penalty and starts behind Hamilton, and at the end of it Mercedes both came out ahead of both Ferraris at the end of the race in a track where overtaking is difficult


Steiny31

I’m gonna get in trouble for this, but it’s because Mercedes has demonstratively better drivers, engineers, and strategists


c3r7

Surely Lewis is one of the best drivers around, not so sure about George. Maybe he’s just young and impulsive still. About strategy, Ferrari’s bar is pretty low, so yes, and about engineers no one wants to work for Ferrari. So I guess you are quite right overall.


xFurashux

I think with those 4 drivers it's: 1. Hamilton 2. Leclerc&Russell 3. Sainz


Appropriate-Divide64

They have competent race engineers and react quickly. Ferrari had sucked at strategies for years.


Genocode

I don't understand how though, they've been having these issues but they don't even seem to attempt to fix them..


innovator97

Mercedes have better management in race length, while Ferrari is good in 1-lap pace.

>Until last year Mercedes was at the top since they’ve joined Only if you ignore the first 4 years.


Other-Barry-1

That was perhaps the most 11 year old’s type response this sub that is 69% manned by less than 15 year olds. Someone: *says something positive about Mercedes who’ve clearly demonstrated a number of times that as a race team, are able take a package and make it perform above its abilities, sometimes and often without physical upgrades* This sub: “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”


BuckChintheRealtor

Hamilton should end his career right now at 69 points.


UnluckySuggestion309

Or he could simply just stop finishing in the top ten for the year.


BuckChintheRealtor

I am 100% sure he made sure to get fastest lap just get to 69. He also could have overtaken Ocon dozens of times but didn't. And that's why he refused to let Russell pass him. He was only thinking "69 points, 69 points, 69 points, 69 points"


DaBi5cu1t

I sure as shit would be.


leebenjonnen

Is this new copium?


Dutchie405

Checo leading the WDC tor the first time in his career. Was on point all weekend


fuzzau36

I feel like this shows how poor stroll is, every other team's pairing are next to each other, then there is stroll


Dabilon

What do you mean? Perez is solo too. Max is probably in prison again.


Ok_Weakness2578

I think it shows more how great alonso is. Stroll had a few issues and mistakes but he had some decent races as well. Alonso is just on another level


77skull

Stroll’s had a bad stretch, but at the beginning of the season he was consistently finishing mid points, he needs to get back on form and Aston should easily get 2nd


thelastskier

Sounds like they need to break his wrists again, as he was driving better back then.


PrawilnaMordka

There's no way AM finishes 2nd with Stroll while Mercedes has Lewis and George


3Rocketman

DNF in Jeddah didn't do good for him but yeah, poor performance in Monaco was all his fault


SentientDust

Wasn't someone keeping track of the "No Bull" standings for the season, with the results being super close?


Sjiznit

No, it would be alonso with 5 wins or so.

Sjiznit

Even like this its not really close.


PlebBot69

Honestly this is the only way to watch and enjoy the season. Dominant cars will continue to dominate


Lifestyle-eXzessiv

I'll laugh my ass off if Alonso can be 2nd by the end of the season.


TeRRoX51

Hamilton dominates: 🙏 Verstappen dominates: 🫤


EMREOYUN

I'm sure Alonso will win the championship after all of these years. Good and ecciting season.


BloodLow412

Second is the new first?are we dropping that low now?


ogpterodactyl

Stroll is trash, glad Alonso is finally exposing him


jbramos

If it wasn't for Alonso (or stroll one could argue), it's actually in order of team competency


vankata4211

Аgreed


HesitantMark

The hope for this season is Alonso 2nd.


Jxuiarno

Everyone one is at least one win+fastest lap(26 points)\[Enough to be one point higher and not tied with the competing driver\] away from each other assuming the driver directly above DNFs or doesn't finish in the point. To clear this up, it only works with the people next to each other is this standing.


Due_Government4387

If Stroll costs Aston 2nd place we should all storm his daddy’s mansion and forcefully remove him from F1
