That would be good. I hope so.
I think I heard that Mercedes did not do any of their allotted shakedown testing prior to 3 days of testing. They are staying in Bahrain and doing it this week. So the issues Mercedes had are probably not indicative of what their race state will be. If this is true, it only reinforces my opinion that Mercedes was not showing their complete hand yet.

F1 has charts from the runs that confirms exactly what you were saying.

Also, there is indication that Ferrari could be scary if you believe that chart.

I think Ferrari were very much under the radar over the the three day test. The one thing that impressed me the most was the huge step Honda have made, the 2021 Honda engine sounds different.

Does everyone think Merc is sandbagging or is legitimately having issues?

Nope, they are not sandbagging. Their problems are real, but they will sort it out before next weekend. But l think they will be faster than Redbull when they get going. That said, it would be something if they win the first race of this season. Redbull is the favourite to win next weekend.
