If nothing else, Max can at least brag about winning every single race he's finished so far this season.
A perfect 100% record.

It’s not just about that gap; by the fifth race, Mercedes will be right there in the mix too. We're looking at a six-car fight for the lead, and at that point, catching up becomes a much harder mountain to climb.

Mercedes-Benz showed some real progress in this race. Once they pinpoint exactly what’s holding them back—and that won't take long—expect them to start moving forward at a lightning pace.

There's no time to dwell on Red Bull and Max Verstappen. Meanwhile, Ferrari isn't exactly sitting idle; they're steadily refining their car and will likely roll out some major upgrades very soon.

Exactly. Even though we're only three races in, that gap between Max and Red Bull Racing is massive—and it's going to be incredibly difficult to close. Ferrari will likely suffer their own setbacks during a race; it’s almost inevitable at this level. But that doesn't mean Red Bull Racing won't run into trouble too. Judging by how things are starting out, it looks like Honda is falling right back into their old habits.

How many laps did it take them to lap the backmarkers? Sometimes it was just one or two.
There were times they were only 15-20 laps into the race before they were slicing through traffic.

That isn't a fair comparison. I hadn't looked closely at that specific metric, but it's about more than just how fast the Mercedes-Benz was.
If you ask me, if a car gets lapped that quickly, it says more about how slow that car is than how dominant the leader actually is.
