Formula One is striving to complete the 2020 F1 season beyond the 10 big prizes shown so far.
With the dominance of the Mercedes-AMG team and their W11 driver EQ Performance, they would possibly have to reconsider that.
Formula One has already triumphed over the obstacles of the pandemic to offer a championship in 2020, but by the time she was late, Mercedes-AMG did what it has done since 2014: dominate.
Of the three big prizes so far this year, Mercedes-AMG won 3 and missed the podium only once, when six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was penalized for a mishap.
And that’s not even the scariest part.
This year’s Racing Point BWT Mercedes is a copy of last year’s Mercedes-AMG W10.
At last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, the two Racing Point cars qualified third and fourth, the W11.
Think.
The design, engineering and progression paints of many Ferrari engineers, McLaren, Renault, Williams, Alfa Romeo, Haas and Red Bull can’t even introduce them to last year’s Mercedes-AMG.
There are seven races scheduled to come at the 2020 Formula One championship, adding the Tuscan Special Parts Grand Prix on Mugello’s Ferrari track in Italy (no Formula One race can have the same call-up in a given year) and the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone the week after the British Grand Prix.
And it’s getting harder and harder to see a team other than Mercedes-AMG win one of them.
It’s hard to see a non-Hamilton result walking unopposed in his seventh world championship, as is Michael Schumacher.
It’s hard to see how you won’t add up to at least five or six more wins at the 86 you already have, and at least five or six more poles to the 90 you’ve crossed in Hungary.
The only black driving force in Formula One among the 774 that have come and gone in the last 70 years is ready for the CABRA, if it is not already there.
While Hamilton insists that dominance is healthy for Formula One, he sang another song in 2013 when Red Bull’s driving force, Sebastian Vettel, won his fourth consecutive championship.
And a fourth consecutive championship is what Hamilton is looking for this year, after titles lasted in 2008, 2014 and 2015, and has ever used Mercedes-Benz engines.
Mercedes’ impressive strength dominance in 2020 considers only the Mercedes-AMG team (it has had the constructors’ championship since 2014), but also the Racing Point team forced through Benz.
After 3 races, the Austrian Grand Prix, the Cobbled Styria Grand Prix on the same track and the Hungarian Grand Prix, Hamilton is in trouble and his teammate, Finn Valtteri Bottas, 58.
The nearest challenger is Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen in ’33, in a hard-to-handle Red Bull car that he left the track 3 times the education lap in Hungary on the way to the start line and crashed, erasing the front suspension. Training
To explain this dominance, Hamilton gained 32.7% more problems than the closest opponent who was not Mercedes to win last year’s drivers’ championship.
As early as this year, the Briton has finished with a 47.6% advantage outside of Benz, with Bottas as his real rival.
Of the 304 problems claimed through the drivers in the first 3 races of the year, the two Mercedes-AMG drivers won 121, or 39.8%, with Bottas winning Austria and Hamilton winning the Grand Prix in Styria and Hungary.
Well, he almost won the Hungarian Grand Prix. He has won it 8 times and has won his 90th pole position along the way.
Racing Points have been for the third fastest cars in race situations and are expected to finish the season in third position once they sense their strategy, position and qualification peculiarities.
The stage is much darker for the festival when you analyze them through their engines.
Mercedes-AMG forces Racing Point and Williams cars to trouble. Renault’s strength is part of McLaren’s factory team and operation, while Honda is forcing the Red Bull groups and their Alpha Tauri sisters.
The strength of Formula 1, Ferrari, expresses envy for themselves and for Alfa Romeo and Haas. Unsuccessful.
While the official Mercedes-AMG team has 121 problems to date, the Mercedes-AMG powertrain has collected 161 problems, all of 40 racing point.
Honda boosted the red Bull/Alpha Tauri sister groups and scored 62 points, while the McLaren and Renault groups raised 53 problems together, while Ferrari groups struggled with 30.
In undeniable terms, the average of the six Mercedes-powered cars would be fourth in this year’s championship, Hamilton, Bottas and Max Verstappen of Red Bull, and no Williams with Benz engine has made a point.
And where’s Ferrari? Well, the legendary Italian Scuderia has become a center of the field, and while Vettel finished sixth in Hungary, he beat Hamilton before the merciful end.
So this year, Ferrari has misclassified (with the exception of its fifth and sixth place in Hungary) and has malfunctioned, with poor strategy decisions.
Your car is difficult to drive and there are internal frictions with the advance announcement of Vettel’s departure (the cases that the German has publicly contradicted), but the real challenge is the engine.
The 1.5-litre turbocharged V6 engine that propelled Leclerc to a jubilant victory at last year’s Italian Grand Prix is a slower lap than it was.
The FIA, strangely, has promised to keep secret what Ferrari did illegally last year, however, everything that forced Ferrari to replace has made its cars candidates for cars that simply no longer function properly.
It’s bad enough for Ferrari, moving from a permanent contender in the race to a midfield team, but it’s an absolute crisis for Haas and Alfa Romeo, who were already suffering from clinging to the back of the midfield.
Former world champion Kimi Raikkonen did not solve problems at Alfa Romeo and Sebastian Grosjean also discovered the elusive problems in the Haas.

I’ve been testing cars and writing about the auto industry for over 25 years. My career began in the newspapers and evolved in the writing of two automotive magazines. I was founded in Italy as a freelancer for more than a decade, covering the European automotive sector, with a focus on product testing and product progression for readers around the world. I judge the smart and badness of cars in the way they carry out their intended purposes at their costs for their target consumers compared to all their competitors. I do not occupy short or long positions in the automotive industry, basically because this would only compromise the integrity of my work, so my written positions are a condensation of acquired knowledge combined with approximately 4 complete product cycles of delight in value.
