After the big fail from Sprint to main Quali, I hope RBR is doing same job with the new setup. I really hope not to relive the last year Brazil GP.
Don't worry, last year the RB20 car was 'balanced' (after their 'fixes') , it lacked performance. This time, they are going blind and hoping on luck - they had one attempt to find the setup balance between sprint and Q, didn't get it. Now they have made a second attempt between Q and race. What are the chances they get it right a second time ? very little. Even if there is rain, which, to an extent bridges performance differences across teams (as the speeds will be lower), what is vital is 'balance' ; and RBR simply dont have it. They are basically shooting in the dark, hoping it sticks - that usually doesn't work in F1, especially in the ground effect ruleset (remember the 'experiments' phase that Mercedes underwent, from 2022 until late 2023 ?).
I am not a fan of any driver/team, a true 'neutral' just that I admire 'talent' (whether driving or whether engineering), and the reason I am disappointed is because the Monza resurgence gave a 'false hope' of a proper championship fight, but now, with Piastri and Max falling by the wayside, it's a one-man show. And Norris truly deserves it, make no mistake. Just that as a 'fan of the sport' it would have been so much better to see a 'fight'.
