It's genuinely weird seeing the Red Bull setup being so off for this season. Max and the team have been absolutely bulletproof so far which makes this even more surprising.
And there's nothing special about this track that warrants such huge performance delta imo.

And its not like the change in layout should have surprised them in the track become even more traction dependant. No clue how they did so badly

MPH over at “The-Race” saying it’s due to ride height and ground effect. RBR can normally run lower than others due to their trick Newey suspension. Singapore is too bumpy, everyone has to run high, RBR aren’t used to it, others are. Normal service will be reduced in Suzuka. We’ll see.

Th8s race is a 2 stop. It may be best for a team to take that gamble and go on the soft or medium at lap 45
For Sure!!

Red Bull really should have pit for Mediums under the safety car. Should have pushed as hard as they could and maybe got past a couple people and hope fore a Safety car

Redbull hoping for a second safety car. Look uout if Lwason mysteriously crashes!
Even if they do the pack is so tight they are screwed.

They screwed their race but made it interesting for everyone else briefly.

They will 1 stop. At the front they are cruising, Max had to fight and ruin his tyres.

looks like. Perez also crashed straight into the side of Tsunoda on lap 1, and it wasn't even investigated.

Genuinely think they couldve been involved if it werent for the safety car with how close the pack was. Missed out on making the most of a bad situation

Might be worth Charles doing that in a hope to gain some places back. If everyone is coasting to the end and he is on fresh tyres and paced unleashed, he could very much make-up some places... worst he'll still finish decently in the points I reckon.

They probably knew that Yuki would have no opinion.

Alonso has big piece of williams stuck in his front suspension, probably reason why he cant get trough perez.

This new configuration needs that 4th DRS zone. I don't want DRS to always lead to an overtake but if the car in front doesn't even need to worry about an overtake if they are 5 tenths ahead of the car chasing them. Might not even make a difference, but surely it couldn't hurt to try it next year.
