The W14 definitely had the driver further back. About 6th or 7th! 😀
Sorry couldn’t resist!
In my opinion it will be a miracle if the W15 is able to challenge RBR. I’d probably hold out more hope for McLaren to be able to catch up than Mercedes. But that hope is about the same as me winning the lottery (and I don’t even play!).
One can always hope. If McLaren can make the progress in 23 Mercedes has the engineering and resources to make it happen in 24. If not they should probably look for new leadership.
While I continue to to be a stead fast fan of Max, RB, and the RBPT RA621H Honda Descendent, it would be more enjoyable to have close racing up front every weekend. Max would certainly earn the driving respect he deserves. It’s not just the RB19.
