The odds are obviously slightly in RBR's favour right now but there is a long long way still to go and literally anything could happen, a single DNF by Max and its advantage Lewis again. This could easily swing the other way yet.
Let's not also forget that RBR are in exactly the same position as Merc regarding the 22 car... and I also wouldn't bank on Totto being totally honest that the 21 car will not be upgraded again this season. Could easily just be gamesmanship.

It would be interesting to see if Mercedes could win a race in the next four races, if the Redbull of Verstappen does not have a DNF or something of that nature. The Mercedes is a second rate car now. They cannot beat Redbull on outright performance in a straight fight. If anything, that is exactly what the result at Paul Ricard is telling us. To keep the fans still engaged, they use words like "nip and tuck", "ebbing and flowing" and turn around. All of that contingent upon Mercedes finding some elusive solution that helps them regain three-tenths of a second. With the pressure of 2022, l doubt Mercedes have the bandwidth to find such a solution. This is it or put the 2022 project at risk.
