How can you put the Mercedes engine on blame when the customer teams struggles with everything else?????
that vid above shows that the engine is just as competitive as Ferrari

I'm not solely blaming the PU, but it's too big of a coincidence

When youre behind and all the way on the back you can put a Ferrari which is arguably the best engine and still be slowest duhh
that logic dont make sense
You can take Ferrari and Haas and Alfa as an example for that

It's reported some of the drivers are still not happy.
