2019 Aston Martin Red Bull Racing - Honda F1 Team

Welldone Max & Pierre
Honda's realiability is a little bit worrying, specially at the turbo.
Lat's hope making the race harder for Merc tomorrow .. Why not winning.

I think it's not reliability related. They need to solve some software gremlins I think. Maybe they are trying something with the mapping, and at the moment they've to work more on it. Curious to know what Honda have on mind with the mapping

[Bill]

Mercedes brought some big upgrades but Rbr split them that's encouraging

[Sieper]

Yes, it is. Maybe Merc still has to fine tune that update but the same Goes for RedBull with their mapping woes. If the spec4.0 truely delivers then Hopefully we can finally see a fight without one hand tied behind the back for RBR.

Well, front row for Max. And second for Gasly. Not much behind the Mercs seems, even with that issues on Q2 with the PU (mapping or software problems again?)

And Gasly at least delivered on quali, he was almost to beat Bottas. So well done for him too.

Tomorrow starting on softs, maybe fight for P1 and then waiting for the rain to come. Seems not a bad strategy giving that is a 80% probability of rain tomorrow

Almost beat Bottas? Gasly was 4 tenths behind Bottas! And only hundreds ahead of the Alfa of Kimi. So yet again a waaaaaay too big gap. And RB could have arranged a slipstream interteam to have a pole shot

[Datco]

Did i see right, Lewis exceeded track limits on Q1 final lap. He even went out again on an out lap but aborted before completing the lap. If so Max should have been on pole.

I checked it again, both of Lewis Q1 laps should have been disqualified.

Was it in turn 1 or turn 17?

It is a risky plan. Because the other one is Gasly.

Even Gasly can drive a car in a straight and go out of the way in time. He might not be the GOAT but I am sure that can be trusted too him, but nobody in RB thought of this unfortunately

Then my mistake, maybe they were showing the gap with the driver ahead on the TV and I thought it was from pole

[seense]

They did sound a bit depressed over team radio after Maxs 2nd Q3 lap. Like they expected more. Nevertheless, i think they did well. Again a lot closer compared to last year.

[Sieper]

They did have engine mapping issues, turbo lag. They will spent more time to get on top of that. Or Hopefully the spec 4.0 resolves that.

He was indeed +0.4, but that lap appears to be removed. Probably went wide in turn 1 or the last one.

[Bill]

So Gasly lap gets deleted but Lewis lap stays no wonder so people believe in conspiracy theories

[godlameroso]

The true gap between Verstappen and Hamilton is less than .3 it may only be a few hundreths. And that is only over 1 lap, over 67 laps, such a close margin, its who has the better pace as a driver and who makes the least mistakes.

This place can damage the car floor if you're not careful and that will cost you dearly.

Hamilton is inconsistent in this track often going wide into turn 2 and the hair pin after the long straight. He will be struggling with tires more than Verstappen because of this. So even with the softs Verstappen should be able to make it to around lap 20 before pitting for hards. Unless of course it rains.

Put a sensor every car and delete lap automatically if you want to fair to everyone. I don't think they are seeking fairness.
