Aaand the RB20 is... yeah, nothing special really. I'd be hard pressed to tell it apart from last years, honestly, but last years didn't really leave much of an impression. It's a giant Red Bull ad +shrug+
There was an article about the side pods, seems they're quite a thing and other teams should be worried about their developmentAaand the RB20 is... yeah, nothing special really.

So Red Bull is doing it again.....
Another season of watching people fight for 2nd-7th sounds.....fun?
The new regs were and are all about aero and not everyone has an Adrian Newey. The guy is an aero wizard and also the only person on the grid who was around when F1 was utilising ground effect downforce.While it's boring thinking that we're in for another season like that, taking the positives away from it, Red Bull are demonstrating what can be done (apparently) within the rules so it's less about them and more about why the other teams aren't able to get similar results. Is it the engineers? The designers? The mechanics? The drivers? It's fine to have a single season freak car & team combination that destroys everything else on the grid but to see it happen three seasons in a row makes you wonder.
I joke about it but they don't have wizards, they don't use alien technology, so on the surface it appears to be a monumental team that's making the absolute best use of what's available to them and everyone else is slacking.
It should be incentive for the other teams to catch up but for whatever reason there is a gulf between what Red Bull have been doing and literally every single other team which makes zero sense really.
You can't take ANYTHING away from day 1 of testing, no one is running race spec or close to it, its all data gathering looking at airflow and if its behaving as per their simulations. Merc/Mcl/Ferr might all be sandbagging massively and not wanting RB to know their car is really competitive. Wait till the last 2 hrs of testing and you might get a SLIGHTLY better idea of real world performance.So Red Bull is doing it again.....

It’s 90% car, 5% skill and 5% being a ****.Until drivers accept that Verstappen applies the Senna mindset of get out of my way or we're going to have a crash and just has that crash, Max will continue to be a huge factor in that race too though. Yes, it could be frustrating and end your race early but Max puts himself at as much risk and, maybe, after his approach actually ends up in him not continuing the race, things will chance.
Right now, him dominating is 40% car, 40% skill and 20% reputation - others will kneecap themselves trying to get out of his way because they know that he's not got any plans to avoid a collision.

First two are on Saturdays because of Ramadan. The Saudi race was originally scheduled to be the day it started so got moved to Saturday, meaning Bahrain also had to be moved to allow for a weeks breakI've just realised that the GP is on Saturday, when did they make that change?
Ffs don’t the realise we are at home to palace?I've just realised that the GP is on Saturday, when did they make that change?
I forgot we even had a race this week, even managed to forget we had a football match (jeez...when was the last time we played one? )Ffs don’t the realise we are at home to palace?
