Was Perez bad or is the Red Bull simply undriveable if you're not Verstappen?
Did Ferrari go after Hamilton simply for the ad revenue and not for possible future race results?
Is there a point to Aston Martin if they keep going backwards each season?
:P
The red bull pretty difficult to drive. It has pace but suffers from understeer and oversteer at different stages of corners, sometimes even in the same corner. If you are somehow able to dance on this knife edge, you can extract some good laps but for that one needs to be ridiculously talented and adaptable like max, fernando, lewis(the ferrari stint will determine our views on his adaptability), etc.
The fact is even max says he doesn't like the how the current red bull handles and struggles to keep it under control. Just imagine how hard it must be to handle for others
I think we can already make reasonable assessments about Hamilton's (lack of) adaptability from the last few years of Mercedes, can't we? He's clearly struggled with that car whenever it's not felt just the way he likes it.
Frankly, until last year, he was still outperforming russell in the races and in the championship positions
He looked better when the car was good, but worse when the car was bad. Which is kind of what I meant, he didn't seem as adaptable even though his ceiling in terms of race pace was higher than Russel's.
Ricciardo, Gasley, Albon, Perez, and now Lawson; they've all been paired with Verstappen and only one man has got the best of that car.
The setup changes Red Bull made based on the late simulator runs seems to have made it competitive at the expense of making jt hard to drive.
Does not look good for Red Bull if they haven't tamed that same behaviour from last year as eventually it got so bad even Max couldn't drive it. Does not bode well for their season.
Lawson is clearly struggling because of this, as did Checo as they just aren't that the same level as Max in a bad car. Yuki is doing so well, and Red Bull will be like "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that."
