Mercedes and McLaren on paper appear to be the strongest two teams on the grid, ahead of Canada next weekend.
Former Haas F1 Team team principal Guenther Steiner predicts a “battle” between McLaren and Mercedes for the best upgrades and car development. Mercedes currently dominates with four consecutive wins and championship leader Kimi Antonelli’s success. McLaren has rapidly improved and now stands as the second-best team. Lando Norris secured a sprint victory in Miami, showcasing McLaren’s progress. While Mercedes plans a major upgrade in Canada, McLaren’s successful upgrades make them a strong contender. Steiner believes the performance battle will continue, as teams adapt to new regulations and strive for improvement.
