I'm sad to lose the P3.
But happy for Leclerc, he deserved a podium.

If in China we do not improve. RB Honda has to look at 2020 and forget this season.
No upgrade planned at China, so you can skip the race :lol:

I think better understanding of the car and maybe getting the setup correct once will be enough to easily clear the midfield. If that would have happened already we maybe wouldn't blame Gasly but say: It's OK for a newbie in that team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are the tests next week just Pirelli-tyre-tests or can the teams test chassis-things as well?

Honestly, the tyres dictated this weekend for all the teams. Even qualifying was less than 0.1 faster than previous years. RBR struggled to get the soft (C3) working, pace on the C2 was good. So I think the chassis was betrayed a bit here. There is definitely work to do but next race in China we see the return of the tyre set that was used in Melbourne and the C4 Red Bull worked very well on. Will be interesting.

Pirelli still here tho :lol: Yeah, at least softer compound and not that abrassive. If Gasly cannot make 6th in qualy, im sure he will be demoted

The pace was nowhere with the softs. Even the Mclaren pushing on the start... #-o

I still think that this have more to do with chassis side, than the engine itself. And it seems very reliable and efficient at the moment. If we can manage to score maximum points possible until Spain, maybe there is a chance for them.

Gasly needs to start delivering, because Albon today was impressive. I think if Albon today would be in the RB15, the result should be better

Max robbed of a podium, if it hadn't been for Renault's MGU-K(arma). Irritating that Renault continues to cause malaise to Red Bull. Though overall, happy to see Max finish ahead of his starting position and still 3rd in the drivers championship. Gasly finishing in the points was good too, but his last stop might have been unnecessary as it seemed he could have finished behind Max if they took the risk.

All right guys. Max takes as many points as possible, this is important. I am confident in Red Bull and I am confident in Honda, give them time to deal with the chassis, they need quite a bit. I am sure these glasses will make a big difference in the second half of the season.

“Well, if that safety car didn't come, we would have just caught him (Charles Leclerc, ed.). But we didn't deserve a podium here today. And that wind today didn't really help either, constantly upset. The Points are good, especially with such a difficult weekend. Then P4 is good. "

"Now we have to make sure we get there with Red Bull Honda," said Verstappen to Jack Plooij's question as to whether he had wanted to be in Leclerc's car. "Let's go back home first to see what we can do and what they are already doing."

What makes you think that Gasly could have finished behind Max... By the end of the first lap he was ahead of Norris and was passed on track and on pace... Gasly, despite strategies wouldn’t have finished behind Max today.

Gasly didn't gain many positions without the retirements. Vettel didn't really close the gap to Verstappen, and at one point Gasly was behind Max. Vettel likely would have gotten around, but we'll never know.

Gasly was behind Max before his pitstop, he was always going to have to pit. It was a tough weekend for them, from what they said, problems with the soft tyre
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Vettel was 26 seconds behind Verstappen after he changed his front wing... That’s a gap that you don’t close with a less than a third of the race to go... At that point, conserving fuel and engine is the smart choice... So no, Vettel maintaining the gap to Verstappen wasn’t a reference of the Red Bull pace.

Gasly been behind Verstappen was due to tire strategy, with Gasly delaying his pit... He went back to his position after the pit stop, so no, Gasly wasn’t behind Verstappen because of pace.
