Mercs are clearly the class of the field again and then RBR. With another gap back to McLaren/Ferrari/Renault/Racing Point.

Williams was quite a bit better this year (~0.75s/lap), second best after Racing Point for lap times (~0.9s/lap). Every single Ferrari team was about a second slower...https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOyNxqo..._web_copy_link

Still a bit disappointed with Latifi, but I'm hoping the craziness of the season will wear off and he can adapt. I do think Russell is really improving and he's a very talented driver.

Another interesting read...I had no idea that "investors" can help support junior series drivers and then can get paid back when there "investments" start making big bank in F1.

"However, what was pointed out was that if we cap drivers' salaries, we break the whole ladder of motorsport. Who would invest money in young driver programmes to pay for their racing if they can't get their money back by taking a percentage of the drivers' high wages? That's the debate. "
