2023 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Also I suspect that pole lap could have been quicker still. The "problem" is Max was so far up in S1, that he didn't need to take any real risk in S2 and S3.

This is the thing where he has grown the most. Risk taking / built up until final lap q3. It has bit him in the arse a few times already, but also saved from trouble no doubt.

I'm expecting M-H-M tomorrow.

Perez thinks they can get the 1-2 finish.

“It was hard,” Perez admitted afterwards. “We struggled through the weekend, we kind of were always two steps behind and we just couldn’t get the entry stability I was looking to get over a single lap.

“But come race day I think we’re looking a lot better, I think that tomorrow is going to be such a degradation tyre battle that hopefully tomorrow we can still be able to do a one-two.”

Hate when they say “we”, when it’s actually and absolutely him. Excuse after excuse. Just own it dude!

I think you are overthinking it.

"We" probably refers to his side of the garage.

It would be interesting if RB bring the same setup for each driver at the start of the weekend. The driver and team tweak it to suit the drivers feel. Anyone know if the cars start out identical or whether drivers have a option in finding the setup prior to the weekend

I think it was stated by Albon that they prepare setups on the simulator for each driver. They are likely not wildly different, but only differ in small details like anti-roll bars and front wing angle. The rest comes from the cockpit with the differential tuning, brake bias, etc.

RB must have saved a ton on the budget:

the DRS advantage:

One of the few positive things to comment as of late is the DRS delta is decent at least.

Which Checo might have used with his crashes.

Perez only improved by 0.059 from last year. That is embarrassing considering how quicker the RB 19 is compared to the RB18

The asphalt had lost grip for some reason. Teams were complaining about it. AMR were barely faster than 2022.

Not an excuse when you look at Max who improved by over 0.4s and mainly in S1.

[AR3-GP]

I think a worry for RB will be Perez overcooking his tires behind other cars. It will be very easy to do here.
