Not only were they just making the tires last, they were on the lowest engine mode lol. If they were pushing, Max would have likely lapped everyone up to the top 5 or so lmao.
Red Bull will win the constructors and Max will win the drivers. No doubt about it.
Even if they didn’t develop the car for the rest of the season, no one would catch up.

If Red Bull stops developing their car for the rest of the season, no one would catch them still. They torched everyone on a low engine mode, not even pushing and just trying to keep life in the tires lol.

It’s official.
LeClerc already taking a grid penalty for his third (only two allowed) battery storage system.

Imagine taking a 10-place grid penalty on the SECOND RACE of the season. If Mercedes simply don't break down this year they could place ahead of Ferrari in the championship by default at this rate.
Oh well, just a cleaner podium opportunity for the GOAT.
I have Alonso for fastest in fp1 (lol, yes you can bet on practice)
I have verstappen to win qualifying
I have verstappen to win the race (this is the only one that matters)
I might take Alonso for another podium again depending on how qualifying goes.
Wish I could take sainz for a podium bet.... But you just can't expect those chitboxes to finish a race.

I got max to win this weekend at -150, he has since shifted to -200, which is still good value IMO.
It feels like Red Bull can chose how much faster they want to go than everyone else right now LOL
Edit: I also took a micro bet on leclerc to be the first driver to retire.... Between fighting his way up from a grid penalty, AND the mechanical issues, +2200 seems like value.

My big hope is the Aston Martin can continue with a good showing. Was very impressed by Stroll, driving around with 2 broken wrists and a broken toe for 6th shows hi mto be tough. I've always thought he was a bit unfarily treated, Sure his dad now owns the team, but he's had a pole, and he's shown some great speed in the wet previously. I don't think he can beat Alonso, but not as bad as a lot of pundits say.

My personal pronouns are: Don't talk to me/Fck off

He's so lucky he didn't puncture Alonso there, would have been fuked.
Even if leclerc didn't retire, Alonso would have been on podium if stroll didn't smack into him on lap 1. Stroll made it so the only reason Alonso got podium was because leclerc retired.

Yeah, I was listening to some analyst who was pointing out that they'd have to change radiators, hard points of the frame, re-test it in the tunnel, etc etc.I thought Mercedes tested a more standard side pod in one of the races last year? Maybe my memory serves me wrong, or it was a failure for them.

FP1 starts in a few min, this should give us an idea of how close Ferrari/Merc/Aston are to Redbull on a completely different track that rewards different car characteristics. Max is sick. Checo is a street race master. Hoping for a close race on Sunday.

These Ferraris just don't have it.
SAD!
We got a haas, Aston, and an alpine in front of them right now on this track. Jfl
