The so-called performance drop-off started when Mclaren brought B) spec heavily revised, their truly new 2024 car to the track in Miami. The rest is just speculation, that wasn't even echoed by their rivals. Could you imagine there was some sort of cheat, or just grey area solution, which Zak never even hinted on? I personally can't. Kravitz, who is anyone but Max and red bull lover, said he talked to lots of people and engineers in the paddock and noone said it could've been truth.
Exactly. I think that Miami "dip" is really a non issue, Red Bull was quite fast for a long time after that and only started to really lose ground much later (when Mercedes and Ferrari improved).

It does look like Red Bull development throughout the year was bad this year. Other teams clearly outdeveloped them.

If the race happens, this is going to be a hell of a recovery drive by Max.

Aborted start means wait for further instructions, they say on Sky, like Max did. Lando drove with no green light. If Herbert et al are fair, slam dunk penalty for Lando (and should be for all the others that followed too).

Up to 10th in one lap plus one turn. Amazing.

Talk about heavy rain coming later, might get red flagged if its bad, so Max needs to clear those cars soon.

Leclerc is quite fast out of last corner so its hard for Max to get close enough.

That has worked really well, unfortunately it took a driver to smash themselves up for it to happen, FIA this weekend has been Abysmal

That worked nicely but it was a gamble. Fair play from the strategists

to be fair they lucked out big time. they gabled on red flag due to heavy rain and they got it only because of Colapinto. Had he not crashed it would turn out to be a very big and costly mistake because would've been eaten out on these completely dead tires.

Another year of a Williams driver helping Red Bull win the championship.

For those that can’t tell that was said tongue in cheek. Got extremely lucky with that crash.

Masi told him to crash, both of them.

Big gamble. I'm surprised they gamble so much when being conservative probably gets them WDC.

But it worked out.
