Well what are they going to do the two big boys Stella and Brown, reduce the upgrades? Delay the pit stops? Webber is watching.

My advice for RB is to go back to the China spec for the RB20.

All wing designs declared legal by FIA. That’s the end of the big “investigation” the YouTubers were trying to amp up for clicks.

You see it the easy way , but an F1 car is extremely complicated...
You can fix one thing on the car , but then the rest of the car can go completely wrong.
That's why all the RB20 upgrades have been removed , because it worked like a downgrade (backwards)!
To fix the RB20 issue , a complete new car (the RB21) is required for the 2025 season .
The RB20 is at this moment a disaster to drive with...

Fia unfair on KMag with the 10 sec penalty and 2 penalty points meaning he misses Baku with 12 pen' points. He hardly touched Gasly and comparing with another such incident with his teammate and Ricciardo which was far more serious the driver responsible there got just 5 seconds. I keep repeating myself that creaking old Fia should be disbanded as there are far too many rules for car build, engine type, budget, and driver behaviour, FFS just P O you out of date snails !

Question is what is and what isn't allowed RB and Ferrari want to know and I hope Tombaziz comes up with some straight answers.

Can someone tell me why Wolff keeps interfering in other teams' affairs, it's none of his business what McLaren do with their two drivers and the nosy pk should stick to his own team. I'm sick and tired of constantly reading of and seing his age lined face commenting like some blabbering spinster who looks out of the window all day with nothing better to do.

Perez says they know what the problem is

“I really feel like I’m in the same boat as I’ve been in for the last eight, 10 races but now all of a sudden Max has come into similar issues so yeah, a little bit of a confusion there but it is clear in the data where the problem is,” Perez said at the conclusion of Sunday’s Grand Prix.

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...AlZ0KNGVAXyp0U

Horner says

“I think on other [tracks], running more downforce perhaps hides some of the balance issues that we have, and you can see that we’ve got a disconnection in balance that just isn’t working.

“And as soon as you end up in that situation, you end up [where] you’re harder on tyres, you end up compensating the balance around – to cure one problem you create another, so you just end up in a vicious circle.”

Meanwhile Fred thinks Ferrari could win the WCC .... he must have infiltrated McLaren with the Ferrari strategy guides 100%.

Redbull had to stop slowing Checo's car down now that Max isn't as competitive. Hoping this slump carries over to 2026 and beyond.

Exactly so, with an F1 car it's a vicious circle to fix one problem which then causes another seemingly ok section to go off track totally unlike what it is to fix a fast road car. Aero, balance and pitch are the main bugbears in this.

Newey just knew , once the car was on track at Bahrain they couldn't fix the RB20 fundamental issue anymore .
This means the issue is too big to handle in this season.

The next RB plan is to change the current chassis and monocoque with the old chassis and monocoque and rebuild it for the RB20 .
Just to seek , and hopefully to get a better balance in the RB20 .

Mate . That's really funny again . Checo ran several races with a copy&paste from MAX's PU mappings and suspension setup .
But Checo couldn't drive with it and crashed more than once (as we know)!
And that wasn't cheap for the RB Team , the Mexican crashed $4.5Million hole in the Red Bull budget cap.

Imagine a guy like that is your KitKat teammate while you're in the running of the WDC(!)

I heard it's a 50/50 gamble . It can make the balance better but also even worse than it is at this moment .
Everything was already in a RB truck at Monza but they didn't changed it because MAX would get a big grid penalty and start from the pitlane by the FIA park ferme regulations .
At this moment I don't know when they will do it .
If I hear it when , you will hear it too ...

My father is convinced Red Bull was using some kind of asymmetric braking that was "banned" (or clarified) by the FIA a little while ago. That's why Max continually complains that the car is numb and just won't turn. It has some appeal in that it could explain why a car that was dominant in May is now kind of undriveable. I don't think it totally matches up with the facts but it has some merit.

It does seem like it but current knowledge says nobody was caught with that system, that it was clarified just in case someone wanted to go down that path.

If RB was using it why was Perez much slower than Max, if you know what I mean. They now think nobody was using it.

Re last race Max was very slow because his power unit had to be turned down because of an "unfixable" issue.

RB could have hired someone like Sainz, or promoted Danny Ric, but they are happy giving Max creampuff teammates. Wonder why.
