Although I sort of agree, but TBH why would he slow there, there is an agreement not to whether informed by the team or not, but it's like engine & gearbox penalties where it's the teams issue the drivers still get penalised.

Mmmm, but my experience is that racing drivers are notoriously hard on their equipment, especially if someone else is paying the bill.

Well that was like a game of chess till the rain came and turned it into a bit of a lottery.

Lottery? Naah.

Just the usual suspects shooting themselves in the foot.

Currently watching Indy 500 on Sky, what is interesting (well to me) is I have live timing on the laptop the Sky feed has about 30-45 seconds delay

Live timing only here. Currently keeping an eye on the footy, but might look to see if there's a free radio commentary somewhere

Or, AM, Merc, Ferrari have enough photographs of what RB are actually doing & manage to copy it, they are currently so dominant it has all the hallmarks of a Toyota turbo job, one that cannot be seen, it falls inside all the rules for static testing & it's not until it's under load or in play that it actually reveals what it is doing.

I agree with you that they have something which the others haven't cottoned on to yet!
It seems as though at every circuit they are straight out of the box and setting the pace whilst others are trying to get things sorted !

A lot of people are suspicious of the Red Bull suspension, they think theres something illegal about it.

Good grip and low drag don't tally with me !

Yes that was one that definitely got away, could have been very nasty at the momentum it had

^^^^^Wheel / Tyre combo looks to have missed everyone, only striking a car in the car park 🙏

The momentum that had: and the thought of it hitting into a packed crowd shortly after being ‘punted off” from where it should live - don’t bare thinking about….
