A few tenths also big gap for such a top class team and I don't think there is that much gap between top 3. Why? because Redbull Merc and Ferrari are faster then others and close each other. it looks like gap is not wider(I hope ). But we will see real picture after a few races.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑13 Mar 2019, 16:55I was just basing my assumption on what is been said in this thread, that the RBR is only a few tenths away from Ferrari, so if they are rushing an upgrade that wasn’t intended for another 30 days it has to be to beat Ferrari... The whole argument is in regards to 2 premises, one is that the team is bringing the new parts to be further at the front, the other one is that the team is behind their targets for the beginning of the season and need this upgrade to stay close to Ferrari, Mercedes (which will also proof that everything that Marko says it’s either a lie or has to be taken with a huge “cliff” of salt)
Why Saturday? Because on qualifying we should be able to see the team performance, in the race, the result could not be related to the team’s performance, but external factors.
As other members mentioned, all teams pushing to go forward. What I understand from news I read, Redbull is more motivated than before and pushing harder than before. So what prevent you to see this, pudhing harder to bring update earlier as a big motivation of succes, as being hunger for success.
From point of your view, you shot your own foot by choosing saturday. Because Honda was good with one lap even they were supplying mclaren (remember first two laps of spa ) I have any suspect for saturday(as they have party mode).
As a Honda fan I want to see good and consistent race pace. This is more important for me. Hope they will be fast during whole race and will get at least a podium.
