Red Bull legitimately looks to be struggling. Ferrari looks really, really solid both in race sims and quali sim. The SF-24 looks like such a joy to drive compared the RB20 here, especially over the kerbs.
RB will improve massively as they (almost) always do.
Currently it's giving Singapore 2023. Red Bull seems a lot worse than they usually do when they have an overnight recovery, especially with how much Max is complaining on the radio. They've only gone backwards since FP1.
I don't think it's going to be full Singapore 2023, but I really struggle to see how they will recover if they --- up their quali. Ferrari looks really, really good in race sims and if Max qualifies like p5 I don't see a way for him to get past, since Ferrari actually tends to have better tyre wear than Red Bull this season, so going long and overcutting a la 2022 isn't an option.
Red Bull car balance looks all over the place. I've never seen Verstappen going off this much before, especially not in FP.
