Probably within 6-7 races the time is right to call Kevin Magnussen... Otherwise It's too late in this season to get a Red Bull race strategy !

I don't see how anyone could defend Max and RB after watching this race.
HAM outclassed them today. What a beast reeling him in with a 23 second deficit.

Ok guys,
4 races done, time to do an early assessment of the new boys! Perez (new to Red Bull / Verstappen) Quali 1-3 Race 0-4 Points 32-80 Ricciardo (new to Mclaren / Norris) Q 3-1 R 1-3 P 24-41 Sainz (new to Ferrari / Leclerc) Q 1-3 R 0-4 P 20-40 Alonso (new to Alpine / Ocon) Q 1-3 R 0-4 P 5-10 Vettel (new to Aston Martin / Stroll) Q 1-3 R 1-3 P 0-5 Verdict: Perez, Alonso and Vettel miss. Ricciardo and Sainz adapting to the new team quite well but still need to step up their game to become a hit. So what do you think?

Hamilton and Toto to start talks on next years contract before the summer break!
So that will be another year before Verstappen has any hope of winning a drivers championship. I can almost hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from here. |

he already out-qualified Max in his second race weekend with RB.. he has what it takes.. edit: shoulder pain is quite serious actually.. it means he is not 100% comfy in his seat or his seatbelts are not perfectly positioned.. its a shame for his mechanics.. not him mate..

As I have been trying to stay out of the jibber jabber and just provide my takes, here they are:
- Merc strategy won that race as well as Ham making the most of it. - RBR seemed to have missed 2 windows to actually let Max have a shot at winning, pitting the lap after ham for mediums or pitting around lap 50 for softs when Ham was still 10 seconds behind him. Would have made for a much more interesting finish. - Norris had a lonely race but that late pit stop for softs paid off - Alpine was struggling at the end - Interesting how AM cant make it work with the new regs, but Merc can. - Leclerc was amazing again - Good to see RIC up there finally - I really thought George was going to find some points this week - Bottas will certainly get a talking to, hes just being a spoiled child at the moment, he had the shot at the race and blew it then tried to hold up Ham out of spite. - Mick seems to be making the most of things - Mazespin is just oblivious out there when there are cars coming on him to lap him |

Reality is knowing that Bono knew that Sir Lewis "would" make up the deficit.
And I paraphrase....Lewis...I am 25 seconds behind...Bono...you've done it before...that is confidence in your strat and above all, your driver. So, why did RB not bring VER in when they saw Mercs strat? I have my theories.

Redbull didnt properly plan for a two stop. They didn't have a second set of mediums for Max so throwing on another set of softs and pushing really hard would not have given them the chance to beat Merc.
