Puh..."very"? I think Sainz was a bit more aggressive in the first two chicanes and Max was just very clean avoiding errors...but judging a car specialty from this?
Verstappen was doing this all the time, not just in quali, it's just that I have these two clips ready to show.
No worry, that is an excellent post and discussion. Your two clips are perfect.

It's not like versatppen cant drive and is missing apexes every single lap like some amateur. It is in fact very easy to deduce car's behaviour from this footage. Couple this to continuous comments made by the team and drivers and it's easy to make a connection.
Well...this I have to challenge:
At least in the clip he is not missing apexes, he is super clean.
Why should you set up a car for the kerbs if you do not have to? The car is easily fastest when they set it up for a clean line through the corners. This is very similar to Mercedes on domination (excluding FRIC time), they simply avoided kerbs.
In contrast Monaco, I still do not get the Monaco comment before:
In Monaco there is one single deciding kerb at the swimming pool. Every other kerb is either not deciding as you go rather straight over it or just flat. If I remember it correctly S1 and S2 do not have any higher kerbs, only flat.
On the other hand the kerb at the swimming pool is super relevant and this is the one that Max took full and was flying in S3 accordingly.
so if we want to make an argument about kerbs....RedBull actually showed in Monaco that they are excellent on one of the most dangerous and difficult kerbs in the calendar.
