It's not over yet not by a long shot, having it by Imola is maybe pushing it but it's looking good to stop the rot

found an interview where Newey says he decided not to design for Ferrari because of his wife (he thinks it will destroy his marriage if he moves to Italy)

With only one quarter of the F1 season now completed, McLaren's car and driver superiority is "in your face" evident. So much to like now.

Apparently according to Fia it's allowed so RBR think they know what the system is and hopefully other teams will catch on too to be fair all around. With Rao back working as the Fia Presidents advisor she may have access to this information also.

What we are seeing now is a car that has an advantage RB wishes they had during those two seasons.

Apparently you don’t remember Red Bull’s greatest season very well.

There were only 8 races they didn’t win by at least 10 sec. and only 1 loss.

Bahrain 38.64 sec
Saudi 20.7 sec
Australia.18 sec
Azerbaijan 21.22 sec
Miami 26.3 sec
Monaco 27.92 sec
Spain 24.09 sec
Canada 9.57 sec
Austria 5.15 sec
Great Britain 3.8 sec
Hungry 33.73 sec
Belgium 32.26 sec
Netherlands 3.74 sec
Italy 11.19 sec
Japan 19.39 sec
Quote 5.9 sec
US 2.2 sec
Mexico 13.87 sec
Brazil 8.28 sec
Las Vegas 2.07 sec
Abu Dhabi 18 sec

Everyone knows that most of those races RB was out front and backed off to just maintain the lead and not pushing.

It was hard to watch Max and his lead just dwindle down to P4. I hope Red Bull freakin wakes up. They are wasting a true champions talent with that garbage out there!

Had you been following F1 back in 2003, Pablo Montoya's dominating German Grand Prix win in his Williams-BMW would have flipped you out....a 65 second margin to second place, David Coultard. Then there's Verstappen's win in '21 at Imola...and then...and then
