Well we´ll see if i´m right when the race-day comes.¨
I´m saying it again. Qual - Red Bull domination.
Race - Red Bull, Ferrari with the Ferrari having the upper hand in reliability and tyre management.
Go and put some money on it then lol
I wouldn't be surprised if the cars have the same characteristics as last year. i.e the red bull has oodles of downforce and the mclaren is the fastest in a straight line.
Of course this is based purely on conjecture and hearsay from james allen, but that's all we can do at this stage.
If the redbull is able to use its DRS where no one else is, it suggests they have a higher base level of downforce than the other cars, which will be advantageous on corners, but once again limit their top speed.
Mclaren have those L shaped side pods channelling air to the RW, and their whole design philosophy suggests they are maximizing the value adds, such as Kers and the DRS. It's likely to be faster than a bullet in a straight line, but once again not as welded to the road as the red bull around corners..
