    Imola is going to clear all this away. No sprint setup excuses, a normal race weekend. We will see if the challenge from McLaren is real (please be real) or not.

      Important to remember that just because lightning struck once they still bolted on a ton of new parts to the car and it will take time to optimize it all.

      I would fucking love to see Lando and Oscar up front again next race but I won’t be shocked if they’re closer to the P2-P6 hunt they’ve been in either.

        Oscar was P2 on pace before the safety car and he didn’t get all the upgrades, and Lando had 3-4 fastest laps right before the SC as well.

        Even if they aren’t on Red Bull level yet, they’re absolutely ready to battle Ferrari

          Maclaren have been really bringing their a game. Hope they don’t fall off like amr did. It feels as thoufh redbull has not been as consistent this season so far …so at leeast it might be a interesting year even all the way to the front in some of the races.although doesnot look like anyone will challange max for championship
