One thing is clear, if they don't get on top of it quick, they are very likely to fall short of winning the championship.

It is quite simple, Mercedes appear to be struggling to operate at their usual high standards under the reduced budget regime.
All I'm saying is that Merc goy it REALLY wrong all weekend long .

You're right that they "appear" to be struggling , but , at the same time they were able to turn it up and run a full second ahead of the whole pack on Monaco's short track .
That's not easy .

I could be completely wrong , but it smells a little like they needed to create the impression of a strong opponent , even though they showed their hand with that fastest lap .
From the smell of it , I'd say Merc will win it all , but the bulls will look like they could have .
