Not while Yuki is still trying to tame the RB 21.

If it's yet another Piastri-Norris P1-P2 in Barcelona, Zak Brown might offer Christian Horner a bottle.

Checo's kicked back on a beach somewhere, sipping tequila, loving every minute of this.

Must admit I feel a bit bad about riding poor Checo so hard the past two years! He did better in that hard to tame RB than anyone else besides Max!

FIA may be set to strip McLaren of all it's wins so far.

3798j · 05-31-2025, 05:29 AM

"Those hoping the FIA’s tougher tests on front-wing flexibility would instantly hobble the dominant McLaren were to be disappointed by the first day’s running in Barcelona."

"Verstappen has been very open – since the beginning of the season – in saying the disparity in performance between McLaren and Red Bull is a factor of his RB21’s wayward track manners rather than the MCL39’s aero-elastic properties."

Think the concern from Domi' and his team now is the brake and tyre cooling materials and the process from that in aiding more cooling.

3798j · 05-31-2025, 06:45 AM

FP3...No surprises, pretty much as expected. Now the question, what will RedBull and the FIA moan about next?

Ferrari and Red Bull run with a new front wing and Mercedes with a new floor.
McLaren still runs with the old wing and is the only team without upgrades.

Did you see the long run data? Max was the fastest by good margin and also had the best tire deg in FP2. Pia had awful tire deg in FP2 and Nor was not much better. It has yet to be seen if this does impact anyone but literally everyone saying it wasn’t going to do anything and that is most probabilistically wrong. The data largely resembled what the RB19 was doing. Not great quali car (even though Max still put it on like more than anyone including Lec) and a car that was great in the race. If that’s the case, which I’d love to see, then that will be a paradigm shift. Again, we have yet to see how this all plays out.

Flex wings don't change 1 lap pace.

Over the long run and tire deg it will.

We see the RBR actually faster than Mclaren for the first time in 9 rounds on long run race pace.

Last year lando got pole, but Max won the race.

One wonders...Is this the weekend the Racing Bulls out-qualify their "parent" team? How exciting!
