max himself said they had no balance and the pace of the car not yet there, due to missing FP1. They will have work to do overnight but I expect RB to be back up there tomorrow
Helmut Marko always straight out says the things as they are or how he thinks they are. He said that they struggled due to setup and need to work on that. If they manage to solve the problems, they hope to have a 3 way fight at the end.
That's the face that a massive title lead gives you. A bad weekend now and then doesn't matter so much and so there is much less stress.
