That is pretty insane ..

Car is good, the best even, in S3 which is a bunch of super fast corners, but just loses massive time in anything below 200 kmh. They need to fix this for next year or it will be more of the same. Mclaren, ferrari and merc have proven outright downforce is not the most important, but rather just a bonus.

Strangely car is also fastest in speed trap, though I doubt it will do them much good.

I think the car looks pretty good onboard, the laps were spotless and there's no visual problems. It's just not quite fast enough in the long medium speed corners. Two identical back to back lap times is also a promising sign for deg. It'll be interesting to see the race pace, that's far more important.

Well, there's a chance that the sprint can go like Brazil where Max seemed to have better deg but I'm not sure about anything. They are so slow and it's not like the laps had mistakes or wide moments. As you said, he set identical laps on the first and 2nd runs. He was the only driver who went full throttle in T14. There was nothing left in this car.

Leclerc also did it.

There was maybe a tenth left in it with a perfect lap, which would be worth 2 positions, but probably everyone could say the same for their laps.

He doesn't steal many points from Verstappen, does he?

Tbh, Perez would have finished ahead of Max in Baku if he didn’t collide with Sainz.

Probably the last decent race he had

Why is the Red Bull car so slow in Qatar? The circuit doesn't have bumps/kerbs or slow corners that be often be problematic for the RB20, yet the car is slow anyway?

Verstappen seemed to have a lot of understeer in Sprint Qualifying. Is it a simple tyre temperature issue, or is there a problem with the balance of the aerodynamic package?

How did this car get outdeveloped so badly? Just bad.

Do folks suppose that Wache's ideas (and problem solving at circuit) are as meritorious as a certain departed Chief Technical Officer?

I guess the RB21 will show whether Wache's ideas are superior!

Max was 3 tenths back from pole in the Brazilian sprint qualifying. Then he was probably the fastest in the sprint race. Max is again 3 tenths down in the sprint qualy but perhaps it will go better in race conditions. This was a "feature" of the RB19.
