    I doubt that they’ll be able to take the fight to RB by the end of the season honestly. RB or Max specifically hasn’t really had a reason to show the true pace of their car so far. The difference in race pace is just too big.

    Next season could be a different story. Surely Ferrari will also get their shit together, right? :D

    RB have probably stopped developing the car for this year because they’re dominating so what would be the point. So I can see other teams catching up towards the end of the year but they’ll probably fall back again at the start of 2024.

      I don’t think they’ve completely stopped just yet. We’re not even halfway through the season. I can see them scale back their efforts significantly tho. But yeah, you’re right. Probably the field will close up a bit towards the end of the season. How it’ll effect 2024 we don’t know. Here’s to Merc and Ferrari not shitting the bed again and Aston continuing onwards on their upwards trend.
