2024 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

[Paa]

Interesting that Red Bull felt the need to go on a quick soft lap so early, while others are still doing long stints on the hard.

difficult to read into these free practice (as always for sprint weekends), how was car's behavior ?

VER-PER gap did not get closer if that's an indication to anything.

Encouraging the gap is how it is given track evo. McLaren and Merc look a handful but it’s prime sandbagging time

Updates are more made for Max not Perez.

Quite to the contrary. The updates are aimed at reducing the instability that hurts Checo more than Max

Yeah but with my eyes I saw Max had the fastest first sector. Which usually means the car has a good front-end grip in medium-high speed corners.

Sure but that doesn't mean what you said about the update is true. From what we've been told the update will reduce instability and they can trace it back to 2023 Barcelona, prior to which checo was closer to the pace than afterwards, and they hope he will find his feet again

Perez complained about low speed corners on the radio.

What was the balance like? Any Max complaints? I missed most of FP1 due to my VPN being nerfed by F1tv so had to find a alternative.

no complaints from Max other than his tires started too cold on one of the runs, balance seems pretty good

[pantherxxx]

It's pretty good lap from Max.

[Vanja #66]

Max set a mighty lap with lower PU than Ferrari and McLaren had later on. Also did it on a lot greener track. Could very easily sweep the rest of the weekend

yeah, Max stayed on track, unlike Lando. Really really impressive stuff!

It's only fp1 others will find more time for sure. But the car looks good from the beginning of the weekend which is rare for the rb20
