Quite specific checks on Max’s car.


Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

So, is the information gathered safe with FIA? Very weird these checks.

Pretty specific indeed. Probably after some hints from competition how to slow RB down. Wouldn't be surprised if some RB innovations which they took a look at get banned for 2025 or 2026.

Apparently that curb riding in fp1 caused more damage than it initially seemed and has put VER off of ideal preparation for fp2. Nothing was seen falling off the car so it's quite strange how that happened. We've seen part fly off hamilton's mercedes but not on Ver's RB. I guess if you scrape those underbody strakes even slightly its GG.

He damaged more than just the floor there. Chassis also took some damage. Follow him on Facebook, they always spent a few sentences on telling what is going on.

In this video, we’re gonna show you what it takes to build and drive some of the fastest and most expensive cars in the world.
We’ll give you rare access into a factory in England where they build these cars and into a garage in Bahrain where they race them.
This is Formula 1 cars, explained!

One note because it’s important to me you never be confused about what is paid for and what isn’t: Oracle comped my flights,
but didn’t have any say in the editorial and didn’t see the episode before it went live.
The Red Bull F1 Team did not pay me, had no say in the editorial, and didn’t see the episode before publish either.
Everything I say here is entirely my own.
The Power of Dreams!

AMuS report that Honda engineers are doubtful that Max's first engine can be used again. It was damaged when the car rode the kerbs violently on Friday

Entirely new engine has been fitted and run for Saturday

Jeez, everyone rides the kerbs there, some way more violently, but Max looses an engine.

Really smooth, and seemed to hit every corner.

Yes, and sector 3 was visually going with the most souplesse too.

I really enjoy these pole laps. Even with these big machines, when they go all out it is quite special with all the downforce the higher speeds allow for.

It wasn't that smooth, he had several moments he had to correct mid-corner.
