Mercedes. Or McLaren for playing a good team game? Ooo, I don’t know.

McLaren again. Arguably the best performing team of the double header.

McLaren and Racing Point have definitely upped their game, but Mercedes we’re off-the-scale superior.

Although I didn't vote for McLaren this time, I think they are deserving of massive praise for their recovery over the past couple of seasons. We've seen many great teams slide to the back of the grid and then disappear (Lotus, Tyrrell, Brabham, etc.). Williams have slid to the back but have yet to disappear (and hopefully they won't). McLaren was in the same position a couple of years ago yet they have now pulled themselves up to being possibly Best of The Rest, at the same time as the Big Three has become the Big Two, so they could become a part of the Big Three again.

I'd like to say McLaren - but the reality is that Mercedes have just got such a huge margin over the rest of the field that this was a depressingly easy 1-2.
The worrying thing is that Mercedes have such a big advantage that they could probably not bother with developments on this years car and still win easily. They can then start work on next years car and make sure that's the class of the field as well. The only saving grace there is that this years Ferrari is so poor they may as well start on next years car and just give up on this year.

Given the the late start to this season, I would expect Mercedes to already be working on next year's car.

I thought part of the postponement of the new regs originally planned for next year, postponed due to covid and as a cost saving measure, was that next years cars had to be very closely aligned to what we have now, or at least the basic chassis was to be maintained. In essence there will be no 'new cars' per se but just slight evolutions of what we have.
(How that affects a team like McLaren, who are changing from Renault power to Mercedes I have no idea)
Happy to be corrected but that is my understanding.
