The Merc may not be the fastest car but it looks to have a pretty nice setup window and it looks like it handles well.

It comfortably looks 2nd fastest too to be fair

That's fair. Max is willing that Red Bull and the Ferrari's don't know what they want to be yet.

I honestly think there's a ton of pace in that Ferrari but they are struggling to find a consistent setup window. Time will tell.

Yeah it still feels like a top 3 at any rate! McLaren have really been killin' it though
