Interesting ... I was reading the PU regulations and noted that the reglations say that customer team is under no obligation to carry the supplier's badge. If the customer team want to rebadge the PU, they would have to negotiate with the supplier for how of that rebadging would go back to the supplier.
Fantastic race today. The RB are in another leage, today we have seen what they can do pushing at max and their real pace.
But we have seen also that today the AM was the second faster car, Alonso controlling the gap all the time, pushing a little bit when needed, and pushing hard at the end for that supposed 5s penalty. Two very different tracks, and two 3rd positions ... Wow.
+5.138s to Russel
+10.337s to Hamilton
+15.148s to Sainz
+ 22.434 to Leclerc
Alpines more than 30s ...
It was a draggy car today, and in a yesterday interview de la Rosa commented that was the better choice for the team, because if they use less rear downforce the floor will not work as expected. Seems that the floor has room for improvement and that will benefit the operating window of the car.
Very bad luck today for Stroll, he made an exceptional qualy yesterday, let see what happened to the car.
