This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
I can see MCL gaining on Red Bull if they start utlising the Mercedes PU better in the short term.
Bit worried about Max's start tomorrow, could be carnage in front of him.
I actually think it would be better for him to start from the pitlane. I have a feeling half the cars will get very slowly off the line and it will cause a chain reaction.
That is quite laphable suggestion really. One must have absolutely no idea on who Max really is (and red bull too by the way), even to assume they might chose to start from pitlane because they are afraid of the carnage at the start or something like that. You might see it as high risk of carnage, they would surely see it as their best opportunity to move forward in order to have a chance fight for meaningful result.
The only possible reason for them to take that option could be their desire to change the setup and/or opportunity to take PU components for free. Never - fear of potential failure or something they cannot control.
I didn’t suggest they actually do it, I said it would probably be better/safer if he did.
That’s not unique to RedBull or Max by the way. None of the teams start from the pitlane unless they have actual reasons to change the setup.

Oh, is that so?!
It's a bit lame to laugh at someone for their opinion!
How about getting a flat tire or a broken front wing, at the very least, if a few drivers crash in front of Max
because a few drivers don't get off the line quickly enough? Then he can forget about scoring points.
1. I don't except too big gap between Max vs Isaack in this era and with these cars. 1-2 tenths or so. I guess Hadjar can win 1-2 qualy too.
2. As we have seen in testing, Red Bull lacks downforce.
3. Engine seems decent, but slippery car might flatters it a bit. I hope it will stay like that if and when they add DF.
4. Merc advantage is a bit too much to my taste. They reach those time at ease, might have even more in the pocket. At this time McLaren and Ferrari is much more dangerous to Red Bull, than Red Bull to Merc. So it will be easier to go backwards than forward.
5. I can see some wins in the season when stars align, but I don't think they can put a fight to Mercedes for WDC (now they could have a shot to WCC as well with Hadjar). Even if Red Bull somehow reach Merc level, and this is a big IF. They will be too far behind by that time. Kind of similar to last year. This is unless Merc will be hit really hard by the June testing change, but honestly I don't expect too much from that.
So the FIA's ECU bogged down Verstappen’s engine during FP while traffic was zooming by at 150kph and then shunted his power unit into T1 Q3 of the first quali of the season?
Do you have a link for that, where did you see it?
