The table by Pirelli show it to be a C5.

SkyF1 is misleading. I must say it is a little bit embarrassing that one year you compete with RB for the title and then few years later you even have problems with their B team...

I'm just going to wait a few races to see how we are doing, but in the meantime I'll happily hunt for cautious optimism.

Every great team has big lows, even Manchester United got relegated in the past its inevitable at some point if you have such a long history.. For now I will enjoy a resurgence however slow it is.

I'm excited by the fact that we aren't slow, but in all reality we do not know where we are in the pecking order and could well be 7th still. Unfortunately, despite the small acts of titillation by Carlos and Lando, there is no factual basis for us to say we are relatively faster or slower, tis why I love and hate testing.

I don't get these "We are really going to show them this year!" style comments. Why take it so serious, or personally.
Exactly.

It's a matter of paying back all this trash talk.
Trash talk from the media? You're in a losing battle there buddy. The media only do these things to get a reaction, any reacton.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

The media is not biased they went along with Mclaren peddling the whole best chassis mantra in 2017 ,when it turned out to be a fallacy they were exposed and discredited they probably resent mclaren for it
yea, thats why by the end of 2017 mclaren were regularly beating williams and force india that had 100 hp more . with a horrible chassis. so the media resents mclaren, but they arent bias? sounds oxymoronic. go back to trolling youtube.

I think that it was closer to 50hp, not 100

They didn't anticipate they were running so much and didn't bring enough gasoline.

Some of you guys are clearly wasting your time and talent on here, you guys should be take up a career in stand-up comedy. Some of the replies to the initial question... :D
