Only reached 323 compared to 326-328 he was hitting yesterday.. hmm
One thing that teams do to "hide" their true potential is put the engines in a low power mode when doing "lowish" fuel runs.
Somewhat useless when the opposing teams have live telemetry and GPS data these days... but they still do it.
With the GP being just around the corner i'd also say there's no reason not to go all out, nobody is gonna improve massively between now and race weekend, if they have upgrades arriving race weekend they'll still have them no matter what.
But there's also no reward for showing your cards and teams seem to enjoy the mind games...
Anyway, that is a sweet handling car and Red Bull looks like they have plenty in their pocket, no idea if Ferrari or anyone else is gonna be able to compete.
