Sam-AVFC Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 For many years Red Bull only made cars that looked like this: Now I'm not saying they copied anyone, but Aston Martin never had cans on their cars. Coincidence? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 At least the Merc upgrades haven't shot them any closer to the front. Fantastic news, season saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Well that was a serious pole lap under pressure after messing up the first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahrain, 5th and 9th Saudi, 6th and 16th Australia, 5th and 6th Italy, 11th and 15th Miami, 6th and 12th -> Barcelona, 4th and 6th -> best qualifying of the season so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona is a very similar track to Australia though. 5th and 6th (fastest Merc 1.012% slower than pole) versus 4th and 6th (fastest Merc 0.992% slower than pole). It's very hard to draw any conclusions based on this one qualifying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you’re happy to conclude the season is saved and Mercedes haven’t closed the gap, despite the evidence to the contrary Hopefully Merc race pace is good. 3 competitive teams, and 6 great drivers will make for a really exciting season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't conclude anything in the original post that you quoted In fact I think that it was a bit early to be making conclusions either way about their upgrades. Your second line I agree with though, although I'd prefer Ferrari and Leclerc (actually I would prefer Sainz but Leclerc is just faster) to come out on top at the end.

I think Ferrari remain comfortably the best all round package. Red Bull second, but reliability might be their achilleas heel. It’s early days but I think Mercedes have possibly closed the gap to those 2 teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
