I hope so, the development race seems so confusing with who's doing what on which car at this time of year, and then Winter testing can mean everything or nothing at all, but Mercedes seem to have the know how to win on the other side of all that mess.

Some said there is some sign of contact in that first corner incident chain that pushed Albon in to Sainz. With the bumps seemingly breaking the suspension, I don't know if they can explain it as anything other than a mechanical limit?

There is that risk that new regs just spread the field out again, but that still can also allow for that spread to result in a new 'order' depending on who gets it right or wrong. I think they still want a different type of close racing than what we get right now, but if it takes a while for the new regs to get there it should at least still be a different kind of exciting for a while.

And only 1 Moto GP race left after those Eastern flyaways!
