P3 best effort. Good job.

Good performance to get a podium but this car seems to drop performance so often, something is not right with it, works better on higher fuel .

I'm always amazed how negative Verstappen is about the car, saying car has built in problems for years and yet we have Verstappen fighting for championship last year and getting podiums this year. I do get that he wants perfection but it's hard to take him seriously when a podium capable car is pure --- to him.

Kind of like Hamilton used to complain his tires are gone and then get fastest lap.
If Max likes his car he will call it a rocketship, if the car is sh** he will call it sh**. He just says what he thinks. Lewis saying that stuff was for strategic reasons to throw off competitors in race.
It's just the margins between a rocketship and sh** are 2-3 positions for VER.
They are 4th best and probably half a second to the front or more, that is s*** by RB standards. The fact that Max can drag occasional podiums out of it is a credit to him.

It's honestly embarrassing that the FIA are doing nothing about this and are making no changes to the regs when it's clear that Mercedes have played them like a fiddle, best PU on the grid by far now armed 2 upgrades :lol:

Don't want to be too negative but this might be the last podium for this season, can see another 2-3 decent chances but with further bigger upgrades from the others...

Big Mercedes update in 3 races, Mclaren in 2, Ferrari not sure. If Red bull don't bring anything substantial Baku might be the last chance but even that will be very slim with the MCL update. After that even though we a few suitable circuits like Vegas, Mexico maybe even Singapore, others will just have too much performance.

I think the team has almost certainly moved on to next years car, because Red bull will be perhaps the only big team who will be redesigning a whole new chassis, there will still be a small team bringing small bits but not expecting anything on the scale of rivals updates.

Not to mention that Lawson couldn't even score points today in this car when Antonelli won from the back.... This car is just horrendous. Tsunoda finished 10th in the VCARB after starting from the back.

Verstappen scamming a podium to keep giving a false perception about the car performance as per. This car is dogshit.
The FIA folds on a royal flush.

They said Lawson got damage on the restart. The car has some pace but only 15 percent of the time :lol: Max has somehow scammed 5 podiums joint 3rd most along with Hamilton.

It's amazing how many updates Ferrari and MCL have brought yet Mercedes keeps them at bay by seemingly doing very little, will be interesting to see how much they gain with their Sepang update, maybe they'll turn the PU down a little to fool everyone.
