Hadjar smirking a lot in his interview when asked about and answering xpectations / hopes for the weekend etc . And he seems to be someone that has a bad poker face

Four Years, One Vision: The Red Bull Ford Powertrains Story!

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.
It's a good observation. Very calculated PR to remove Horner's influence. Actually pretty clever from Mintzlaff really. Mekies is his appointee and Marko had a better relationship with him. He knows who he's promoting. Sometimes I forget Red Bull F1 is just to sell more energy drinks lol. But now that you say this, it reminds me of what Steve Brodie says about the "team". It's Horner's team and that much will take a long time to dissipate. The signs are already there however. Wheatley, Newey, Skinner.....
The FIA folds on a royal flush.

No matter what they do, everyone knows that Horner was the mastermind behind RBPT.

Well well well...
Could have been worse so far I guess.
You can't trust the Merc teams yet of course.

It's very promising that Hadjar is up there. It would not have been possible with RB20 and RB21 for the second driver. Even if it's super early to make any conclusions, it's promising so far.

Red bull was so quick despite engine turned down massively. That's interesting.

A lot of pace to come from Red Bull and the Mercedes engined teams. Ferrari certainly turned things up more. Lindblad's lap was probably the RBPT engine turned up and it was a rocketship n S2.

Hype lasted exactly one Free practice session. :(

A very stop start session for Max, didn't really push on his soft laps and medium stint cut short with the trip to the gravel.
