This season is (already)! over for the Red Bull Team ...

I hate to say it , but I wish for MAX a 2026 Merc seat (!)

I hate to think it

Of course me too..

The facts in a row :
● The RB21 got 3 upgrades in the first 6 races.
● The car now drives completely unpredictably.
● The Red Bull Team will now fall apart very quickly like a broken mirror.
● Finish the 2025 season at Red Bull.
● And then ?
● It's time
● Time to go (!)

Sounds like a joke . But it wasn't a joke . Imagine

Based on how Free practice has finished so far, the papaya cars look like they are going to be in the top 5 come qualifying based on the consistency at this point and I suspect Max will also be there or thereabouts given its Max.

Can't say I'm surprised by Ferrari given their recent troubles with the car, well, not just the car but also the communication and indecisiveness to tell the drivers of the strategy during the race, hopefully the race is going to show a different story.

For MB, I predicted they would be where they are at the moment, so no surprises there either. Hopefully Kimi will perform much better as this is his home circuit in qualifying and the race, he's done good up to this point in the points table

^ This is what I think and you can't help thinking Ferrari will struggle, oh well its decorating all day for me.

Papaya's 1 & 2 and Max 3...Consistent with predictions for now..

By the way, just got all the gear I wanted for starting my hobby (think I went over the top with all the studying on YouTube lol)...the equipment came a bit later than expected today so I couldn't start in the morning, oh well, maybe tomorrow or next weekend...Feeling giddy atm

As I said (!) See my post above ..

Yesterday during the FP they had to re-work YUKI's floor with a grinder...

Because the RB21 Imola upgrades really s@ck (again)!

The RB21 is unpredictable and very dangerous !!!

Good to see that YUKI is OK ...OUGH !!!

It's not Horner . It is Pierre Waché !!!

Pierre Waché is responsible for the RB21 design and all the upgrades ...
Can't stop to say it : The Frenchman Pierre Waché is an idiot !!!

GuidoK · 05-17-2025, 09:29 AM

Horner isn't going anywhere. Most succesful teamboss in the last 2 decades (and maybe ever....).
Especially the rumours you hear Tost and Oakes as replacements.. team bosses from b/c tier teams that have never even won 1 race, let alone 8 wdc's

Good banker lap from Max. His first bankerlap that he had abort due to the crash of Yuki was also very fast.

///M Power-Belgium · 05-17-2025, 09:34 AM

BIG crash Colapinto !!! WTF ?!?!

RED FLAG !!!

His floor scraped over the curb , and Colapinto was a passenger ....

toxik · 05-17-2025, 09:34 AM

colapinto doing what he does best

GuidoK · 05-17-2025, 09:34 AM

That's not a good sign for COL...
Luckily he has rich sponsors

wizardofOz · 05-17-2025, 10:14 AM

GuidoK · 05-17-2025, 10:16 AM
