RB is supposed to be bring an actual big update here, vs the past where non RB people claimed it was a big upgrade but it was simply just minor tweaks.
I think the tweak they made last week seems to have added some performance because they said Max was losing 100 points of downforce, and yet still with a severely compromised car, he was within 2 tenths of pole - who else could manage that but Max?
I feel it's only a matter of time before Mclaren ends up pinning themselves back with an 'upgrade' and Mercedes are getting very cocky for having 2 lucky wins aided by a crash in Austria, weather, and a few other factors at Silverstone. I also don't think their car works as well in the hotter temps which we should be seeing considerably more of.
RB's car, save for maybe 2 or 3 races has not been performing optimally and believe there is significant performance to unlock both in pure pace, but in driver confidence (curb riding). It will be interesting but I expect the pendulum to swing back a bit more in their favor.
