I think that probably just goes without saying that they will be competitive. And to be fair he is right- it’s never ‘easy’ to beat everyone in F1. Even with the best package, there is a lot that can go wrong over a race weekend or a season. Take Ferrari the last few years. They blew a fair few races they were probably expected to win for various reasons.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑19 Jul 2020, 13:36You can just be normal about it.

I feel you. Trollto Wolff has already said in an interview yesterday that Racing Point will be hard to beat at some tracks. So, that narrative is already doing the spinning.
Let’s be honest, we were all shocked by the margin from Merc to everyone else in those first few races.
While he undoubtedly gives extremely conservative estimates of relative performance or downplays things at times, you can look at it in a number of ways. What you see as ‘trolling’ I see as more as being respectful to your competitors.
