Don't think Ferrari are even on for 2nd in the WCC this season. They're just not capable.
Especially not if the FIA are back in Mercedes's pocket. If Tsunoda had made Russell's divebomb then he'd have a penalty for sure.

Bar Perez being a pillock, that was a decent clean up by RB.

Perez very close to being a ferrari driver, amazing at times but when the pressures on he's not that elite num1 driver level
