I think that hinges on how their new car performs.

A lot of which depends on their first powerplant but considering it's its ex Honda IP and headed up by many ex Mercedes Powertrain engineers the ICE part will probably be fine . Whether the Ford assisted electrical power side is up to snuff I've no idea.

For Red Bull it very much seems like the "Old Guard" is gone

but that might be a good thing for them if the people taking over can follow up on the good bits and get rid of the bad bits
although how you define each category is debateable

but Max looks a lot happier recently - and if he is happier and the car is OK then they might just be unbeatable

Duke of York, you mean...

There are rumours in the press that Oscar Piastri is looking for an out clause from McLaren...

The supposed reason is the perceived favouritism within the Team for Norris,

The daily wail

Discus - Should Pisastri feel hard done by?

It's the Daily Wail - 'nuff said. And the silly season is just that.

IMHO Piastri needs to carry the can some too - crashing twice in Baku didn't help, and neither did a couple of qualifying hiccups due to yellow flags and a poor first lap in Q3. That's just racing. When you look across the whole season, he just wasn't consistent enough when it got to the pointy end.
