I tend to agree. Unless Ferrari makes a world beater soon.
I don't even think it needs to be a world beater. He's just tired of knowing he has no shot to win. Even when RB was at the full might they were never as dominant as Merc have been. If the regs next year mix everything up I bet a lot of drivers feel renewed.
I think RIC can take it if the Mercedes boys knock each other out like Barcelona for the rest of the races and he wins the rest of the races. Will have to double check my math.
EDIT: Nope. Mercedes didn't crash out at Austin or Japan.

6 podiums this year for Vettel. Seems like Ferrari stopped developing the current car and fell behind Red Bull though so I could see Vettel's annoyance.
The one benefit is it seems like a lot of fans that hated him when he was winning everything now like him.
This car was raced in period by Pedro de la Rosa and Jos Verstappen. The team finished 7th in the constructors World Championship with a highest placing of 4th at the Italian Grand Prix in Jos’s hands, it was then successfully campaigned in the BOSS Series until 2011.
It has a fresh Hart V10 which is ready to go, the car is sold with an extensive spares package including spare front wing assemebly and nose, engine cover, wheels, all original body moulds, all pit and starting equipment is also supplied. It has excellent history and is in immaculate condition, for any further details please contact us.
“With the low temperature we experienced some graining in the morning,” said Pirelli technical chief Mario Isola.
“We expected it, especially with the supersoft. In the afternoon it was better, but also the temperature was higher. There is no tarmac evolution, this is strange, because usually when you have a completely new track like Mexico was last year, after one year, you have a lot of tarmac ageing.
"Here we measured the tarmac, and it is very similar to last year, so very slippery, with a lot of bitumen.
The time delta between the medium and the soft is 1.1s, less than Pirelli expected.
“The medium had very low degradation today, very close to zero," continued Isola. "Somebody was also able to have negative degradation, so when the car was running lighter and lighter they were running faster and faster. For the race, the medium compound becomes a very good choice.”
Pirelli also says that if teams make it through Q2 on the soft they could do a 1 stop, S M strategy. I'm not sure the 1 stop is the way to go. S S SS might be a better choice. IF the mandatory tyre selection includes the S and the SS starts working which I think it will late in the race as moar rubber is put down. Pit lane delta is only 20 second (including a 2 sec pit stop). If most of the teams are running around on worn M and someone stops for SS the lap time difference could initially be 3 or 4 seconds a lap.
I realize it's just practice we talkin about but Versenna's best sector times are around 0.15 faster than HAM's best sector time. Again, this is just practice and I'm not sure how much Merc is hiding their pace.
