Mercedes has the best F1 PU - Period
No PU got close to it from T3 to T13. RBPT, the other PU of the 'Compression ratio' saga, is 2nd best.
Audi did produce a good PU, unlike Honda.
Beware of Ferrari: the team had battery software issues in Q2 and Q3, but BEA (the next quickest Ferrari-powered driver) had the least clipping!
Clipping is massive: cars lose ~50km/h ***on full throttle***!
Ferrari needs the rotating rear wing to work (and wait for the 1st June updated PU testing procedures) to fight on the straights. Their downforce is encouraging: look at the speed in the fast T6!
Losing ~50km/h AT FULL THROTTLE cannot be what F1 is about… especially in qualifying!
This PU-ruleset will be a disaster, and a clear downgrade compared to the previous one.
