Lando could catch Gasly here. If Daniel can get past Stroll it could make the outlook a little rosier.

So the point difference lowered from 18 points to 8 points. Still good damage limitation considering the car here was slower than Alpha Tauri and even the Aston Martin. It's a pity luck favored Ferrari on a track that suited them while Mclaren was not that lucky in Monza, Spa and Sochi but what can you do? Onwards to Austin in USA. Im not sure if that GP can suit our car.

I don't know about USA. Sector 2 looks like it was made for Ferrari, but Sector 1 and 3 got some fast corners. Let's wait and see I guess.

Are you sure about Sector 2? Sector 1 and 2 seems to be made for Mclaren with quick turns and long straights for the Mercedes Engine. S3 looks like Ferrari made to me.

Ferrari are quicker than Mclaren now on the whole.
Texas, Qatar and Brazil will be Ferrari tracks.
Abu Dhabi should suit Mclaren... maybe Saudi Arabia too.
Mexico is not sure.... considering it’s tough being a Mclaren fan I’ll sway towards thinking it’ll be kindo to Ferrari. Recalling the last time we race in Mexico in 2019- it was a horrendous for the team

One race in Turkey doesn't make Ferrari quicker when the GP didn't suit Mclaren. We shal see once we get to a GP on equal footing.

Forget the Mercedes engine- Ferrari have brought an update to their PU and they will be on a par with Mclaren now for straight line speed- their car is slightly better than Mclarens so with their new PU they have a better package

These corners will definitely be very bad for McLaren and very good For Ferrari. The rest are actually not that slow apart from T1, T11 and T20.

Tell me how in F1 do you get an equal footing?
