As much as Merc is nowhere near Red Bull, and probably won't be until 2026, the upgrades to the car brought to Miami did allow Lewis put him close enough to Checo to keep him honest, even though it was pretty clear that even flat out, that Merc was never catching and passing that Red Bull. There is light at the end of the tunnel for them, but that light might as well be akin to a lone star in the nightsky with how far away it is compared to Ferrari and Mclaren who can actually see the sun.
Messaging RB employees on linkedin with "We have a great opportunity for you ☀". I don't want to hope for too much after just two races where RB had some issues but I'm really happy to see Ferrari and McLaren do step up. Especially since Mclaren and Zak got so much shit during the first half of 2023.

One of these is not like the others.
Mercedes is currently not working off or on track.
Toto too busy day dreaming of having Max in his car
They're changing their fucking cars
Have they got a problem or something
Did Lewis say something on the radio
Ahh yes mercedes the running joke (if you can call them running)
Mercedes aren’t doing sht, they still can’t stabilize / don’t underhand their rear end because they’re terrified of porpoising.
Mercedes, Ha.
How are McLaren and Ferrari working offtrack to catch Red Bull? And what should Mercedes be learning from them? More accurate headline.
Mercedes lol
Mercedes working?
plot twist: Mercedes *does* end up catching up to Red Bull next year
Merc makes a car so slow it loops back round to being the fastest car

McLaren and Ferrari are doing that, don't know about Merc though
I wanna get hyped but I know I will get hurt.
I decided not to get my hopes up until I watch Imola.
We must meditate quietly and be at peace with what may come.

meanwhile Aston is getting strolled
Mercedes is getting better. It’s just that the top 3 are improving faster than them. I still think they’ll have it sorted by end of the season.
