Yes but thay need to make up over a second a lap which I don't think they'll do with the budget cap. Both Ferrari and Red Bull will also be developing, so Mercedes need to make a massive step which no team has done during a season for many years.
I live in hope but have little expectation

🇪🇸 my spirit is crying for leaving
A cousin of mine used to get free tickets, and an apartment overlooking the track as a job perk. She was something in high end travel. She enjoyed F1 but after the fifth time in Monaco she decided it was too much trouble to go.

right after this urgent rest
This race needs something to make it not a parade, so I’ll second that.Nico Who has got his kid in on the Sky presentation.
Looks cloudy. Hope there's rain.

I think no rain today, not sure it would change much other than cars going slowerThis race needs something to make it not a parade, so I’ll second that.
edit: Ferrari expect a wet Monaco Grand Prix and are warning that as much as half the grid could win in those conditions.

Toto Wolff says Mercedes wants to cut one of its F1 engine customers
Mercedes Formula One boss Toto Wolff said he wants to cut from three to two the number of non-factory teams that race with its engines. Wolff told the Financial Times in an interview published at the weekend that new spending rules meant Mercedes was no longer making "substantial amounts" from providing engines to others. The Austrian said the business of leasing engines was not "compelling and interesting" because the governing FIA had limited how much customers could be charged in order to help smaller teams.The German manufacturer supplies McLaren, Aston Martin and Williams as well as the title-winning works outfit of seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. The engines are designed and made in Brixworth, central England. Formula One teams are subject to a $140-million cost cap this season, which the bigger ones want expanded due to rising freight costs and inflation.
"In an ideal world, I would maybe see us [Mercedes] plus two [customer teams], so actually downsize a bit," said Wolff. Mercedes provide engines to more teams than any other manufacturer, with Ferrari supplying Alfa Romeo and Haas as well as their own factory outfit. Red Bull use Honda technology to power their cars, as do sister team AlphaTauri, while Renault supply only their Alpine team. Red Bull is expected to join forces with Volkswagen-owned Porsche from 2026, when new engine rules come into force, while sister brand Audi is looking for a partner and have been linked to all three Mercedes customer teams.
Williams have Red Bull-backed driver Alex Albon in their car and team principal Jost Capito was previously Volkswagen's director of motorsport.
[I wonder if Toto if preempting other manufactures entering the sport]

Well, that's true. Two laps behind a safety car does not a Formula One race make.

Yes, properly coming down now.

And now it's stopped. If it keeps doing that throughout the race we're going to have some fun.

So, bets on how many cars actually reach the chequered flag? 10? 12? More?
