Mclaren, Red Bull and WHO....?

I enjoyed marco polo's "long winded" post on the subject of who and what is the best from a month ago. Things have changed since then.
At Turkey everyone after 4th place seemed a bit of a back marker.
I am reposting my reply to his post here to spur conversation again on the subject. But if you comment PLEASE be long winded! Explain why you think what you think. Don't just leave a closed ended comment that kills dialogue.
[i]I didn't think you were long winded. I get tired of monosyllabic one sentence conversations that only require knee jerk replies and no thought.
It's a forum... we're supposed to talk and discuss.
Now obviously my post on your topic is a bit after the fact as things have changed somewhat since you posted this but I will give my two cents a go.
It depends on the track. Tracks with medium to high speed corners and short straights Red Bull...for now. Tracks with greater speed disparity between the straights and corners Mac. Ferrari just doesn't have the straight line speed, handling or developmental pace to be in the mix as of yet.
For the constructors I think the interesting question at this point is who will win second. Mac has the reliability and pace to wrap that up baring anything stupid. Red Bull and Ferrari have the pace to score points but watch out for Merc. They're not winning, yet, but they're finishing and scoring reliably and quietly sneaking up.
Drivers lineup...Mac. Vettel is showing some youthful impatience. Webber is great but doesn't have the resume of success yet. Alonso is hamstrung by a Ferrari that is more like an overpaid supermodel...hot, lots of potential but won't put out. Massa isn't the same, but it may be the car. Michael doesn't have anything to prove and shows it (no ruthless aggression, despite Monaco). Rosberg seems to be slowly fading out of the picture.
For DC I'd give it a toss up at this point between Web, Ham and Jens. I think Webs experience is overcoming Vettel's talent and Mac just have the best overall package between team, car and drivers.[/i]
