According to Toto Wolff, the only weapon RB have currently is Max Verstappen.
Toto is surely causing some severe emotional damage to George with his comments about Max lately.

Red Bull (Verstappen) will be in the mix, you guys are majorly overreacting putting Mclaren and Ferrari clear ahead.
Mclaren should be good too and i don't know what to expect from Ferrari.

I think George, unlike Lando, would be happy to share a garage with Max (so long as it's on a no-number-1-driver arrangement.

Why is it majorly overreacting? If you dig into the numbers the Ferrari was almost as good in the race at Barcelona (an average of 0.1s across stints 2 and 3) and almost all of the Max-Leclerc gap in quali came from a tow. At a circuit that was suited to the rb20's strengths and didn't play to Ferrari's at all

I don’t think anyone really knows at the moment what the competitive order will be, not even the teams themselves. However my gut feeling is that McLaren will wipe the floor with everyone this weekend.

That may be so, but having your TP so openly praise a driver from another team surely must be painful. I hope Mercedes will pay for George’s therapy.

The only weapons that I know of at RBR is Verstappen's driving and Helmut Marko's comments to non-english media

RB20 not be worthy of leaving Q1. But the driver will put it on pole is by bet. :wink:

McLaren to have a double podium here. Norris will make more errors is another prediction of mine. He got blessed with a fast car so suddenly that he doesn't know what to do with it and will be tripping over himself a few more times.

Alpine to be in Q3 with both cars also.
For Sure!!

Or it spurs him on. These guys are all ego and self-belief and for some of them this would be a good kick rather than a bad kick.

Really glad they added the gravel. That is such a better option for maintaining track limits. Corners with them will eliminate those annoying delayed lap deletions. =D>
Yeap and that RB cannot be on curbs where the MCLaren and Ferrari can, doesn't play in RB hands :)
Curbs? Dis track no curb!
Flat into the gravel, just paint...or do you mean that McLaren is better on the gravel?

Please stop the Perez bashing!
We know he most likely does not make it to Q2, but we do not need to hurt feelings beforhand!

For me Ferrari and McLaren will be ahead here. Already at Barcelona Ferrari already matched RB at a circuit which suits the rb20 and isn't favourable for the sf24. McLaren being ahead goes without saying

No clue about Merc.

I'm expecting max to take an engine penalty
Just curious, since Merc were ahead of Ferrari at Barcelona, how was it that Ferrari matched RB there?
