Wheeeeeeelspin from MAX my friend !

Finally the wheelspin found traction , and catapulted the 16-B like a bullet !

The first F1 sprintrace showed us a great fight . Think I really like it

One thing is for sure ."The tyres" ...Man ! Tomorrow the tyres going to suffer tremendously...

Call Kevin Magnussen right "NOW" !

I'm convinced Kevin M. would show his Red Bull tail ...

He was such a great driver in the crappy f@cking HAAS car !
Imagine...Yeah. The HAAS car was good in losing wheels ?!?!

Wake up Horner&Helmut and call Kevin M. !

Been in the pool lol. Those modified rear Pirellis seemed to work well for Max at the start and provided the right amount of traction to nail hammy.

Honestly .I'm 100% sure ...'He (below) CAN do it !

and it's POLE position for Max tomorrow with Checo back in 18th

It was a bad weekend to test this out. He ultimately only had one practice session to dial the car in before things were locked in for the weekend. Anything can happen on race day tho and Checo is the tire master. I hope he can fight back for decent points.

Yesterday I heard from the Russell boy : "I wouldn't refuse a Red Bull call"

This Isn't over ....Yet !

And Dramilton would get a better night's sleep as well !

It's his own fault , to make the run with his own setup !
He lost the car , just like that ... Probably by lack of downforce .
I heard :Checo was/is stubborn and hard headed !
He'll lose his P3 in the drivers ranking , and it hurts the RB constructors ranking as well .

The 16-B Isn't his Pink Mercedes...

Something worth Helmut considering urgently if the Checo 'situation' continues, the Mex he should have learnt by now. Russell has been kept on a string by Wolf a long time and pis*ed about... there won't be an announcement here so time is trickling away for RB who can't put everything on Max's shoulders for ever.

True! With so little time to tune it, not a good move.

He was likely in some dirty air and pushed too hard.

The 16B definitely isn’t the 2020 RP car, previous aero design they had was high rake before they copied Merc. Hopefully he remembers those old days lol.

To add insult to injury Checo has to start from the pit lane now to permit changes to his cars set up which was next to useless.So it will have LESS wing to permit easier overtaking.

Interesting fact :
The measuring point at 'Hangar straight showed that Hammy reached a top speed of 322 km/h, while MAX remained stuck at 320 km/h.
This means :
•The Merc got an PU upgrade
•The Merc runs with less of wing (aero-upgrades)

Positive . I saw the fire ...It wasn't a small fire !

For sure 12 got more welly in the PU tho it shows the Newey magic in the 16B aero, a car for ALL seasons and track irregularities...only in Max's hands so far

If VER leads the race I'm smelling a MB/HAM undercut

Once again LEC did good...thought he might catch BOT near the end of the sprint.

And ALO first lap

"MAX , You're gonna need to keep that watered" !

With the new mediums blistering just after 10 laps I think it's highly likely going to be a two stopper. Very interested to see who chooses to start on hands vs mediums.

Very impressive to see Sainz make his way back up the midfield after that incident.

RB strat is upgraded to wuthering heights now though Max out on his own will still need genius calculation.
