From what we witnessed at Spain , the W12 Warp-Speed is too fast for MAX .
I heard yesterday evening : 'JOS (Verstappen) said that the W12 can push it more relaxed by the excess of power , that's why Mercedes has the tire management more under control.
And the W12 can push it harder especially on mediums , It's there where the 16B fails ...
So , for Mercedes It's a win ...Win situation !
MAX has to push the 16-B over the limits and MAX makes the 16-B better looking than the car in fact is...
It's actually not really hard to understand , look where Checo is with the same machinery and setups .
That's why I'm thinking BOT will get the pole in Monaco , because over one lap BOT can be faster than HAM .
Of course and as usual , BOT will lose it during the race as we know his #racecraft really s@cks .
On the other hand : Let's say MAX has a (little) chance at Monaco , because Merc can't use the full power of the Warp-Speed at Monaco by the lack of straights .
Torque , balance, tire management and driver skills really matter at Monaco...
I also expect 'something special from McLaren , because the McLaren is actually a 'orange Mercedes ..
