More wheels than sense
Four WDC's in a row is quite a failure rate for a team, I don't why they bother.
The car is a result of a single-minded focus on one driver and his particular driving preferences. The car is fine in his hands. I wonder what capacity and appetite there will be for upgrades this season, as the new 2026 design looms. And whether anybody can understand and modify Newey’s years of evolution.
Place your bets now - will Yuki be able to do any better with the car than Lawson and Perez?
It will also be quite amusing if Lawson now starts outperforming Yuki in the Racing Bull. That's got to be his main aim surely - to make clear to Red Bull that it's the car and not the driver...
I hope that Yuki is right up with Max too but realistically its highly unlikely . The circuits are much safer these days but even so Suzuka is not the place to have an almighty fast shunt . Hope kamikaze Yuki doesn't show upThere is a little bit of me that hopes Yuki is right up with Max. Just so he can stick his fingers up at the team every time he goes past.
If Lawson is suddenly more competitive I think Mr Ginger should be looking at what that cars qualities are... and putting max in it so see if he can do any better in that car than in the very peaky RB
whether or not the second car is specifically detuned to make the second driver slower is a matter of personal opinion
He wouldn't have much to laugh about. A well experienced race winner like him was doing little better than the new boy by the end. Rumours are that marshals pushing each other's in wheelie bins were lapping faster than Perez last year.
