I would tend to agree with you if the problem was lack of speed but RBR has a total lack of reliability. They haven't done one race distance yet (not even close) while MBZ and Ferrari have from the first test forward. That is a huge deficit to overcome.

This very well could be a repost, but damn this interactive footage of the Mercedes going around Silverstone is cool.

How many cars will finish the race on Sunday? Nobody even wants to practice because they're afraid the cars will break.

Hope the seemingly high number of reliability issues won't get in the way of a good race.
