Mercedes has not “swallowed a dumb pill” since winning its last Formula 1 title, as team boss Toto Wolff says he does not currently feel the need to step aside.

If you look at the grid with Red Bull removed, sure they wouldn't be dominant, but they'd be up there battling and clinching championships by the skin of their teeth.

Early loses to Mclaren (enginer customer) and Aston (engine customer team) this year.Both of which have done good job developing the car and are performing quite well.Doesn't make them look good.

Mercedes should be competitive with Ferrari (for P2 in constructors) and they are nowhere close to them.

Red Bull was always going to do well under these regs (I must admit just how dominant they are is still surprising to me).

I am surprised to, seeing what they have able to pull off.

I really want Mercedes to get it back together and make it a proper three way fight for podiums.
