All the "Ferrari is faster, just wait and see" is only a slogan for selling the F1 brand. Of course they are not faster, Mercedes is playing cat and mouse with Ferrari. Both Ferrari drivers are forced to push way too much, and both Vettel and Leclerc has accidents because of that. It is not a questi...

For McLaren-Honda, I feel that it was 50-50. Honda was certainly weaker at that point compared to improvement they made in the meantime. McLaren is obviously in a long technical crisis.
