Red Bull are currently 63 points behind in the WCC and there's a good chance after the next round they will have lost the championship. The RB tears are flooding Sao Paulo and I'm enjoying the spectacle.
RBR is probably the only team around that doesn't care as much about the WCC, else they would've replaced Checo a long time ago.

I think they would have liked the WCC. But i did wonder a little if once the realized their development path was off if they were happy enought to let that go and get more CFD and wind tunnel time. I think they gave it up long ago really now.

I was thinking to this, if the new wing is a good choice for a wet race, but is a risky approach, if things go wrong in quali then also the race will be painful. Hope they know what they are doing. I am sure last night was a loooong night at Woking MTC testing a lot of options for today.

Its still raining also today heavily. Is it a good idea to get a heavy downforce read wing? Considering the race will be dry we might be in a disadvantage.

Thought they might.
It’ll be a shame if the new wing is only used for the sprint this weekend and never used again THIS season

Do you think they will all go with wet settings? It seems a lot better now as the rain stopped. It's starting. Let's see what we can do on wet conditions.

Can't say I like these conditions much. Mclaren needs mixed between intermediate and dry. Come on Lando and Oscar. Show us something more than that.

I wish they are in a better position at the moment, mainly against Ferrari. I don't really care about WDC, it's going to be hard to get it and mostly out of our hands.

The problem is that Mclaren is better on mixed conditions between intermediate and dry. I'm not sure we are good enough in full wet conditions. I hope both drivers deliver and make me eat my words though. Pity not to have an Ayrton Senna on the team anymore.

I hate those conditions as they tend to ruin our good weekends. What is Lando Norris doing? He is in the danger zone.

From memory the car wasn't good in rain at Spa?
