Up until Red Bull Ring Lando was talking rides in Max's private jet I heard. Umbilical cord was detached at post race interviews and Lando hitch hiked his way home.

Fia - RB your car is illegal
RB - great, is papaya legal?
Fia - papaya is legal, just sayin'...
RB - ditto

So it should be faster now. Imagine being forced to remove updates that make you slow

That's cool. It's not like the RB20 was having any issues this season anyway

I'll just keel over if Max qualifies 1st or 2nd anyway.

I wonder if there is like a dedicated spy team that just watches over the RB racing and dev team. Seems like whenever they cough or fart, they are getting investigated.

Pretty damn crazy!

So Red Bull is intentionally adding weight to the car for a device that isn't accessible, when the car is fully assembled. 🤣

[3798j]

Loved the way RBR pivoted from denial to admittance...that's just so RedBull.
Additionally it was pointed out elsewhere..if RBR says the adjustable height can't be accessed/operated once the car is assembled, why is the FIA making them change it? Again, that's so RedBull.

the answer is yes. they all do that to each other. not just to RB. the more successful you are, the more you get spied on. middle of the pack will generally be spying on their direct competition, middle of the pack.

Why would the other teams be jealous.
RB hasn’t won a race since, when was it like last spring.

Slow and cheats, honestly throw them out, dock points.

Hey they have pushed it maybe cheated a little and they have been stopped. But don’t all the Red Bull fans point fingers at everyone else…. Mmmmm

Anyway Max is only winning because of the car, that’s rubbish but thought I’d add is as others make stupid comments like they so why not hey.

Right. The teams at the front are the ones who are innovating and pushing the boundaries, or sometimes exceeding them:

BrawnGP - double diffuser
Red Bull - exhaust blown diffuser
Ferrari - fuel flow
Mercedes - DAS
McLaren - mini-DRS

The list goes on...

Schumacher - Benetton engineers gave him traction control when traction control was illegal to the dismay of Senna

Brawn was more than amazing. He bought the team for $1 in preseason, did the double diffuser, Jensen Button won something like 10 races in a row before it got banned, then Jensen didn't win another race but did enough damage to be world champion. I think since then teams realized if they don't stop their competitors early it will be too late once they run away with the points. Unless you're McLaren and you don't know who you're racing.
