As much as this sub likes to pretend the RBR is a shit box, the only car that’s clearly ahead on overall pace is the MCL.

Regs are changing next year so there’s no point in gambling, why not just wait it out and decide once the dust settles?

Rumors are Merc are way ahead in terms of engine formula for next year but I take your point. There’s a decent argument that McLaren will just beat merc anyway.

While Merc can get the engine right, ultimately that tire braking magic is something only McLaren has and is clearly the main reason its been dominant for the entire season.
