Power Ranking GP Spain: The empire strikes back

B Mercedes still needed luck with its first win of the season. The second succeeded on its own. And in a convincing manner. Mercedes was inviolable in Barcelona. In principle, the picture of the winter test drives was repeated at the Spanish GP: Mercedes in front of Ferrari, Red Bull and HaasF1.

This is due to the track layout, which fits perfectly with the aerodynamic concept of the Mercedes, to the well-filled data memory, the made tuning the car easy and on the Pirelli tires with reduced tread. That helped the teams that have the most problems with overheating. So Mercedes.

Like Ferrari, Red Bull had to switch to soft tires because they were easier to manage. That Daniel Ricciardo set faster lap times in the race than the victorious Mercedes is a dead art. What use is the best racing speed if you pay for bad training results?
