What really made the difference this time around is that the Red Bull was competitive in outright pace and Daniel led on merit. I think he would have had enough speed to challenge Nico and Lewis regardless of their mishaps.
I was frankly expecting them to be midfield at these quicker tracks. So much so that I didn't even bother watching qualifying. I now have faith that he can achieve a good result at Monza.
I think Mercedes have a problem with Lewis and Nico which is only going to get worse from now on. Their attempts to resolve it so far have been unsuccessful and it is turning pretty toxic. I think the reaction from Toto and Niki was a bit critical and overly harsh for what appeared to be a slight misjudgment from Nico. They are so fixated on beating each other that they could still throw it away.
