Well, now the car is 2nd best in the slow corners, but sucks in the straights. As this is a high efficiency track, the shortcomings of the car are more apparent, but hopefully it won't be so terrible at others. The bad news is that there are two races here.
Will be interesting too see how Max”s strategy plays out. Is the Red Bull easy on its tires? It always seems like that strategy didn’t play out for Ferrari the past couple of seasons. The mediums seemed to last maybe a couple of laps more than the softs when competing at the front end of the grid. But, that could just be based on the way the Ferrari stressed its tires
I wonder if Sainz is rethinking his move to Ferrari next year?? The Macca's look good now....then with a Merc PU next year.....hmmm.
FIA so deeply bought out by MB they aren't bothering to hide it anymore. Gleefully flaunting it, I'd say.
If 2019 is any indication (and it may not be), the RB with Max driving is very easy on its tires. I think Max is in an outstanding position for tomorrow's race. I'm also interested in seeing how Lando fares. Racecraft and aggressiveness were definite shortcomings last year. Now he is really at the pointy end of the F1 stick, and any deficiencies in his ability to "run with the big boys" will be readily apparent.
Mclaren's progress is really something. Good for them sort of the opposite of Ferrari's condition isn't it.
You know you’re f*cked when you are behind a pink Mercedes and a Renault. But happy to finally see McLaren up there getting back into the mix!
7th and 11th and 6 months off to sort the ruddy car out - they had months to get upgrades done, but lets blame COVID
We ALL KNOW that MB / FIA will either: (1) Mess up a pitstop with Bottas, (2) Cause Bottas to get a penaly or (3) have a "mysterious" mechanical failure..... just so that LH44 will win the race. I said it, I stand by it and I will be proven correct tomorrow
