Fair - I don't necessarily mean from a reliability standpoint as much as general race pace. If they get their quali pace more consistently into the top 6, will they be able to get past the red/blue cars in the race?
RUS starting 4th in Spain was their highest quali result so far. He finished the race in 3rd b/c Leclerc retired and Sainz ran off, but Checo still passed him on track. HAM started 6th, finished 5th (b/c Leclerc).
I wouldn't declare Merc back in the mix until they start beating the red/blue cars that actually finish the race.
