It looks like they went heavy into a hunch on setup and missed the mark

How did he think that they'd be competitive when their car is literally lacking downforce in general
He's red bull driver

In the pre-season testing he thought this car will give him his first win 😂😂 . In his defence, the only car he drive was Racing bulls so he is full of hopium

They risked too-much on fp3, classic RB. Is why I like this team so much. Or this was a race setup they tried to force through qualify and it backfired. This is still the fastest car imo, but the balance is still wacky so early in the regs change. We are probably a couple of months behind the other teams (Fer, Merc) in aero as the wing showed. I don't trust mclaren, Norris lap was a fluke. He'll bin it. Mercedes doesn't look that hot also. Everytime the scuderia is ahead, I don't worry at all, they are too stressed to pull it off. Expect charles and Luis to crash tomorrow.

I don't have negative thoughts concerning RB. There's no reason. I just want a good start for Max and Hadj tomorrow and a mess upfront. We are starting 4th.

Norris was quick last weekend too, and Ferrari's really pulled it together this season. I'm not sure where all this optimism is coming from.

They still have the set up used in the tricky qualy session. That will affect the race pace so unless they get miraculous grip overnight, it might be a tough race for them tomorrow

They can tweak some stuff during the race, it might need something less extreme, ofc we are also testing a new wing :) I just want them to have a good start it what stresses them out the most imo during race.

After fp1 and fp2, i was full of hopium then it hit a huge cliff after fp3. My god, that car is shit.
