So McLaren are now the fastest car on average (averaging over conditions and corner types), have an amazing driver pairing but operationally are the weakest. Red Bull are no longer the fastest but are operationally the best and by quite a margin. They also have the best driver but he is fighting alone. Merc are pretty well balanced - the car is fast but not the fastest, strategy and operations are good but not perfect and the driver line up is amazing.

All three teams are evenly matched. The double header will be fascinating.
