How long did it take Mercedes to lap the backmarkers? Sometimes it was just one lap, maybe two.
There were times they’d slice through the field in just 15 or 20 laps.
So, how long is it going to take Ferrari to pull that off this season?
Raikkonen is just on another level.
It used to be just Mercedes, then Mercedes and occasionally Red Bull Racing, and only then would Ferrari show up while everyone else was miles behind.
Last season was actually pretty competitive, I guess, but it was still basically just Mercedes and Red Bull Racing.
