Wolff can try with his BS talk but can you see that jalopy even halving the difference to MAX between races.

RB also just gained 2 tenths from a pretty minor upgrade and let's not forget they are not running their car to max potential (no pun intended) so realistically I think they are 1.5-2 seconds faster than MB on a given track assuming there were all out. On top of that, they will upgrade a little more and then start focusing on next year's car like they did last year. A team who changes car philosophy 1.5 years into the new regs will be likely 12-18 months (maybe more) behind in terms of understanding the car. And on top of that, the budget cap will make it hard to do much this year given how much they need to pour into the new spec car.
