2019 Aston Martin Red Bull Racing - Honda F1 Team

It would be a good result to divide mercedes

Verstappen has split them in FP1. He's in the mix, Gasly looks a bit off so far.

Yes, something disappointed with Gasly. But it's fast... in TR it was (or so it seemed).
A good driver adapts to any car..

Edit: it seems that the first sector is now our problem.

Any information what PU-spec Max is running? Is Spec-1 still in the pool or too much damaged?

[HPD]

Skyf1: Max has been in the garage for a while, with some change currently taking place on his car. Red Bull mechanics are working rather feverishly around the RB15's front end.

Firstly, Galsy is not an animal, so it's "he". Secondly, he was fast compared to whom? Hartley?!

[dren]

Yeah, it's hard to say if Gasly is having issues adapting to the RB or if that's just his normal pace. Albon is looking good in the STR.

Max back on track

[GhostF1]

Debris caught and damaged one of the coolers is the latest I heard on Sky. While they fixed that, they made a setup adjustment, Max just said car is handling much worse now

[Sieper]

After that he did a long run I think. He wasn’t passing leclerc who was doing a long run for sure. The balance on high fuel was bad apparently.

I think RBR are 2nd fastest here. Shame with that water leak, because the true pace on one lap is an unknown right now. But given Gasly time, I think we are closer to Merc, but not enough to challenge pole... Maybe split the Mercs at best. Did they any long runs to know pace?? What is surprising is how Albon is doing with the STR, he is almost on pace with Gasly and the Ferraris

[godlameroso]

Can't tell anything from long runs, they do 2 or 3 fast laps at most then charge batteries and try again.

Gasly had the same pace as Vettel ..... should say enough imo

[etusch]

Gasly still uses spec 1 for first two FP sessions doesn't he?

[loner]

hopefully RBR will shift their focus more on their fragile driveshaft and improving their suspension which obviously Mercs outsmarted them with... car looks mighty they need to find new ideas about the suspension
how professional Mercs exploiting every thing by every which way.

[McMika98]

Gasly seems pretty happy with setup and how he did today but he was less than a tenth quicker than Albon who went a lot early. Come quali he could be relegated by Alfa and Haas boys if he does not step up.
