Small correction: the engines are no longer called Honda engines, but Red Bull Powertrains or something like that. Though from the looks of things Honda is staying very closely involved.
But yeah that the Ferrari engine is back is as much witnessed in Bottas driving the hell out of that Alfa as in the two Ferraris. How ironic that he is right next to Hamilton on the grid, battling with him for the first corner! That will be something to watch.
Als I am very happy to see LeClerc up there where he belongs. For a minute there I was worried that one of the most talented drivers in F1 was stuck in an underperforming car, but now he and Max can have a proper battle. I don’t mind by the way that the battle becomes four or five way (Hamilton is a fantastic driver still also), but these two certainly are high on my list as people who will be up there for the coming years.
Hopefully some of the other teams get their act together in time for the midfield to stay close to the front and have good battles there.
