I don't know. It's probably unlikely, but on the other hand Mercedes have had their big engine and aero update. Red Bull is said to get a fuel upgrade after the British GP. That's about 8hp/0.1s. The new MGU-K is available which gives them 2.5kg of weight to play with low down in the chassis. Then there is the second Renault performance update coming and we haven't event touched on the aero where Red Bull is more likely to install their next advancement first. I'm not saying Mercedes or Ferrari will be standing still, but I do suspect the Red Bull performance will increase more during the remainder of the 2018 campaign. |

It is an exciting outlook that this might be the case but I would not get too excited. It is more likely the Red Bull drivers will decide the title fight between HAM and VET by snatching a good amount of points rather than being involved in the fight themselves.
One thing that interests me: I remember that in Canada Max's family was not there and this seems to have sparked a turnaroung in attitude. What about France and Austria? Max was very composed and disciplined there as well. Maybe that is a coincidence but it could also be the case that the different approach in Canada is actually leading to results. |

I think there is a more potential for a close title fight than last season
