2025 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

[Vettel165]

Now imagine if updates will work in Imola and in Barcelona the TD slows down Mclaren. We might have a chance. Early days, its a long season. But very happy about today, tomorrow I dont have any expectation. P2,P3 would be nice.

[Sergej]

Keeping P2 with Norris behind would be a great result. Even though, if by some miracle a title fight is to materialize, seems always more likely it will be with Oscar.

Intriguing idea. I'm highly skeptical but ...

Given this situation, in the coffee shop and hallway chatter, the internal discussion is that someone has floated a possibility: to continue using the Honda engine next year. In doing so, they could use Racing Bulls as a guinea pig, with whatever Red Bull Powertrains is capable of creating, regardless of its current state.

thats a rubbish lap from yuki he should be were kimi is and lewis were he was faster than them for most quali .the redflag didn thelp he should be around 0.4 tenth behind max.two runs would have helped

It was but also he never rides the kerb on Turn 5, didn't all sessions. All of the front runners did. Makes you wonder why no one on the team suggests to use it. It's probably the one place you can get away with it.

This was my idea when Yuki justgot the seat!

I swear the journos just come on this site to find fodder for public consumption.

Anyhow Piastri following Max is not like Norris following Max. Oscar is going to get his elbows out. Max will need to use up tyres to break DRS in the first 3 laps.
If not they will exchange orange and navy blue paint, which helps Norris and Russell.
The concern I have, not that it matters to me, is the plank wear on Max's car. The car was really low for a long time.

I think piastri will either get the move done at T1 lap 1 or he will settle back and wait for 10 laps for Max's tyres to drop and then get an easy DRS run.

McL is bad in dirty air.

Without slipstream there is no pole. Yuki gave max a tow

The Q3 tactics were perfect today

Ah so that’s changes the outlook.
Also another piece of evidence of how ‘one man teams’ have an advantage over 2 drivers going for the world title

If we can do this sort of tow whenever the margins are tight, and dirty air continues to be bad then it can add up to a big difference by the end of the year.

Doubt it. Judging by the comms this was just convenient timing and not planned. Max will often try to sneak a tow from someone finishing a lap when he is out of sequence.

That's why he should hang back and wait for Max's tyres to degrade.. in a race like this with no pressure from Norris he can just bide his time

This was mentioned here in these forums not long ago, I think it would make perfect sense for everyone involved. There is precedence for this kind of thing, too.

This would be a bad sign for RedBull, because:
1. It would clearly indicate lack of confidence in whatever they are cooking.
2. It would not be status quo compared to this year, as they will lose factory status. So basically Aston-Newey will dictate their requirements to Honda and then Red Bull would get whatever they come up with and they have to adjust. Might be an improvement to their own engine, but far from ideal.
3. Either way, they should know by now as work on the new car is already underway. I assume different engine has different dimensions and fixing points, cooling requirements, power delivery etc.

4. What about their fuel supplier? I assume Red Bull has now a different one which won't be optimized for the Honda engine?
