2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Pathetic. Which team does Lambiase work for? Are you sure it is red bull still. There’s almost no way Max would’ve gotten a penalty for that and it would’ve been 5 sec at very most

No pace on softs, great

[Juzh]

after watching start replays it was the right call to give the place. pace is nowhere in any case, a second off norris. race will be with leclerc for final podium place.

He lost like 6 seconds giving position back.

True, that's why you take the +5 most of the time and I'm not sure he would have gotten one anyway

Norris basically scammed everyone yesterday into thinking they've got a chance by bottling the last corner. Just how good is that mclaren actually lol.

Hamilton went too hot over the kerb jumped on it and was out of control. We saw behind them multiple cars went side by side without any issues. Anyway, there’s almost no way it would be 10 seconds or more given first lap first corner incident. 5 seconds at very most, which made the decision to give place back a truly appalling, especially given how late it was and how far Hamilton was by then. Their asses literslly got saved by Hamilton’s car issue. Otherwise it would’ve been all over by now.

Nah! It’s just Lando pulling a Senna lap….lap after lap again… in car which is generally 5 tenths slower, as he himself said.

The polesitter missed the final corner completely (01:29) and was still on pole by a tenth. This is what RB are up against against. Nothing has changed. All of Mercedes, Mclaren, and Ferrari are faster.

I've spent a lot of time looking at the data over the last few races and I'm not wrong. Verstappen is doing miracles and week in and week out and many just don't see it. This car is no better than P7 on all but maybe 1 or 2 GP weekends where it was P5 at best. and he has 5 podiums, and maybe a 6th today, and should be on 8 without Monaco and Silverstone failures.

Leclerc faster on old hards...

He didn't scam me. I've seen right through it.

And has been for years.

Not faster , but rather on par. Chances are Max is holding back more.

[Valeo]

Seems Kimi is struggling now, maybe pushed too much.
Norris also really fast on hards as usual

He is definitely faster. Quite a lot more pace than I expected him to have actually. Almost on par with Lando. He might be pushing too hard though, let's see if he starts dropping off the cliff.
