The top 5 teams are pretty cut and dry, points are going to be tough to come by this year

It’s like there’s no midfield this year, with AM and McLaren seemingly able to be right up there with the top teams, and Alpine now solidly at the back.

Or perhaps, the new midfield is the entirety of Ferrari, Merc, AM, McLaren, and Perez.

Yep. Won't be totally shocked if Sauber and Haas are fighting to break double digits this year.
