It all went downhill after a promising FP1 😪
Let's see what Hadjar can do

At least Hadjar looks relatively good so far. So sad we can't see what Max could do.

Probably MGU-K wanted too much.

I think the rear wheels were stationary while he went through the gravel too if I saw correctly? Looked like mechanical failure

That could be Verstappen applying the brakes after he went off, but yeah, looked like the rear seized.

Hadjar seems to be on the same pace as the Mclarens. Nice if he can stay in the top 5.

Looking at Hadjar I would say Max could have well been best of the rest, although the gap is sad...

Only 3-4 tenths faster than Racing Bulls shows that the chassis team has underdelivered. PU seems to be competitive with Ferrari and slightly off Merc.

Max will be easily second fastest behind Russell once the car works. Then Red Bull needs to find another 3 tenths and Max will be there to fight for wins.

I don't feel that it's as bad as we first thought. Car is still overweight. That could be the entire 1-3 tenths. There's potential ( :lol: ).

You think Max would have been 4 tenths faster than Hadjar? I would have put it around 0.25s.
