It will be a very very long season for RedBull this way. No chance on sunday, even worse they are lucky if they can finish before the RPs and/or McLarens. P5 is the best they can finish ?

Wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet! Maybe it's just the complex aero mapping (ride height, heave dampers etc) of the RB16 which is not dialled in yet?
That's because they are lighter...

As a "wrong" car it is still clearly the 2nd best car, which is pretty good!
Even if RB-Honda had set higher performance targets, beyond the (admittedly very high) level of the Mercedes W11, there is no guarantee they could have met them.

Maybe rear-engine is better for traction, but overall mid-engine is typically considered best for handling (hence its use in F1). It would be curious what the Porsche Cayman could do if given all the go-fast parts from the 911 GT3 or GT2...

We'll have to see, first signs are not encouraging.

He was with battery fully charched, max power, boost on and Hamilton flew away yet on ther first straight. For me - Honda PU clearly less powerful than Mercedes. He switched off boost after one lap because it was pointless using it...No chance...
