There's a lot of concern even outside of Honda (egregious case) regarding the vibrations generated by the engines. Red Bull PT had to lower its Power Unit in the second test precisely for this reason, and even Mercedes isn't totally confident in terms of reliability. It'll be a weekend to follow entirely

Maybe that's where the 7 tenths went.

Hadjar said the car is good, and he will fight for podium.

This is not what he actually said.

Yeah. He doesn't seem that optimistic in my opinion, he just smiles a lot. He said reliability may be an issue for all teams and that just finishing the race would be a good start. He is aiming for a podium but doesn't know where they stand.

I'm quite surprised that they are all worried about reliability after there were not a lot of serious obvious breakdowns in 9 days of testing.

If he's aiming for the podium, it means he's fighting for the podium. Just doesn't mean that the fight will be successful.

Give me one single example where Leclerc says Max beat him in a slower car. I will wait

I already did but you preferred to ignore it for whatever reason. Canada 2024. Qualifying in Mexico 2022 being another one. He said he had a lot more in the car well enough for pole (it was our pole to have) and Max did a better job. There are more. Thanks for waiting!

To quote a RBR employee:

Haven’t heard anything about it at all.

Freakin' amazing! For sure it's been 4 tough years. I hope the results pay them back!

Edit: Overall a bit unfortunate with what happened in '24 but CH deserves credit as well for this achievement.

Maybe, but I hope not. Anyway, I think we will find out in a couple of hours.

Why so? We never really got confirmed the honda vibration issues in 2021 except for on the forum lol. No red bull employee ever remotely acknowledged it

If we turn up in Melbourne and be anywhere near, the fights on this season.

Well, let's hope we're in the ballpark this weekend then.

Maybe Max would have given a "hint" if they had to turn it down during Bahrain2.

Very nice video. There's something pretty special about the "team" at Red Bull that a senior ex-Mercedes person talks about. Ford's partnership is clarified quite well.

The real question is whether or not the issue exists but how much it matters. Auto Racer are reliable but are not free of an agenda.

Superb video.
They have taken care to ensure CH isn't present in any video shot. They could have paid a 'thank you' atleast via a text banner at start/end (like they do in movies).

It simply feels 'wrong' to comprehensively omit CH from this video. It's cruel.
