2019 Aston Martin Red Bull Racing - Honda F1 Team

Have you seen Helmut comments preseason?
That was not media - that was RB.

Crap with sister team? Easiest is to put head in sand....

They have been faster at pretty much every GP over last year, even with a chassis issue. The thing that makes it look worse is Mercedes flying off into the distance. RBR are for the most part matching Ferrari.

Let's not lose context when making these big statements..

I'm pretty sure they are behind from what HM was announcing...

Lol. I KNEW you would use Helmut. People clown Helmut for the stupid crap he says, then use his words as the defense. Helmut is a clown. I seriously don’t know what his value is to the team other than to say crazy things and fire people.

Head in sand. Lol. Calm down. Everyone know they have work to. Everyone. Everyone. Seriously everyone.

Aha - Helmut is part of RB team, right?

Yep - even I know that they have work to do. This is not in question.

Problem for me is:
They blamed renault alot, they made bold predictions and put alot pressure on Honda (again, like MC did). They had sister team with new EM with one year experience.

If we take in consideration how Honda funs and media made McLaren look terible when made late switch to Renault - I don't se why we wouldn expect same from RB.

Lol, the guy is really something, isn't he?!

If this make you happy keep going.
I think Toro Rosso 2018 chassis was only for Honda engine development and for 2019 they are using Redbull 2018 rear end and very close to main team. They transferred very few to this year from outside view. Maybe if they develeoped car and Engine together with Redbull engineers all season along maybe there were more to transfer.
My opinion is Redbull thought we can do very good chassis as everytime we did, just let Engine get mature in that chassis.
İf you eager to compare keep it. Be objective if you want and not if you don't want.
Compare Redbull honda partnership's first year with second year of Renault McLaren partnership, compare Redbull honda partnership's second year with third year of Renault McLaren.
(McLaren did great job with firing Boulier and this season they looks like they can come back and Norris really promising)

His head stroked by pistons maybe...

WIth his Q2 time, he'd be 5th in Q3.

Rookie Albon looks very mature compared to Gasly. And damn faster

Great to see that MAX is there with the top teams again. Wonder what someone who was making "nostradamus predictions" is thinking about it.

Tomorrow the race will be interesting! Hamilton was saying they had no top speed (strange), so that means it will be good for max if he maybe can focus on attack Leclerc, but the Ferraris are going with the soft. Don't know what to think about they going on the other strategy... But that race promises excitement, at least the first laps.

Seems to the Honda PU works great at a higher altitude. Maybe the new TC have something to do with g it. Well done!

Unfortunately "Slow" mercedes is still faster than the Honda.

[dxpetrov]

Yeah, good performance by the team (bar the French part if it...).

Has anyone noticed what speed Max was getting? Saw Lewis getting 319km/h
