It is on like donkey kong - 2023!

Coming out of the 3 days of Practice it seems:

1. Red Bull - looked the fastest, nailed reliabilty

Next Level

2. Mercedes
3. Ferrari

These teams are interchangeable. Ferrari supposedly have fixed their engine reliability. Mercedes have fixed their porpoising. They were both probably holding back some last weekend.

Some are crowning Red Bull a little early. Mercedes probably has the best driver lineup on the grid, so if they have a competitive car watch out. Ferrari were able to challenge RB in qualifying, but didn't have the reliability and strategy decisions to win.

Next Level

4. Aston Martin
5. Alfa Romeo
6. Alpine

Aston Martin is the golden child of practice with many pundits believing they could be fighting for 3. It does sound like Stroll is much more hurt than is being acknowledged. So the question is Vettel a possible option if their car is really this good or will they leave it to their reserve driver?

Alpine - Their performance was not really this good, but some are confident in them.

Next Level

7. Alpha Tauri
8. Haas
9. McLaren
10. williams

McLaren is the big loser here. It looks like they have major problems.
