But then again, we are all spectators here. We know Max likes a looser tail. But how much? It would be great fun to have all drivers on the grid do a lap in the RB19, set up just how Max likes it and see how they cope. Would most struggle or may we assume any driver worth F1 can manage and we are talking minor differences?
Max is 78 points ahead and moving towards the championship. We can say Red Bull has done a great job with its car design. The problem is the sh*tty driver in the other car. If the car had been designed so that both drivers would have had equal amounts of fun, would they have even had any wins this season?
Like Toto said, "Max is winning the races, not Red Bull," so would Red Bull have even been the dominant team without taking this design path? I think not. Red Bull's (Max's) dominance is an entirely different story than Merc had in the hybrid era. Red Bull's domination was based on Max's talent with good and uniq car, while Merc's was based on a superior engine and car.
