This is what everybody wants to hear ofcourse, but Max said it was impossible to judge. They were running demo-tires,
without any setup work done and the engine in a very conservative setting.
Where did you read that or saw him saying that @Tizz?
I think it was in a dutch newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad
Thanks, I've found it.
“We can now talk about the new car for a long time, but I literally drove a hundred kilometers with it.
On demo tires, not even full with everything. So yes, you cannot gauge that. ”

Perez can see why drivers struggled to adapt to Red Bull F1 car

Sergio Perez says he can understand why drivers have struggled to adjust to Red Bull's Formula 1 car concept, finding it "quite different" to what he has previously driven.
Perez has sampled Red Bull F1 machinery for the first time this week, completing a run in the 2019-spec RB15 on Tuesday before completing a filming day shakedown in the new RB16B on Wednesday.

The Mexican has joined Red Bull on a one-year deal after leaving Racing Point at the end of last year, replacing Alexander Albon.

It marks Perez's first time racing for a front-running team since his single-season stint with McLaren in 2013, handing him the chance to add to his shock maiden F1 victory in Sakhir last year.

But Red Bull's cars have traditionally been tricky for drivers to adjust to, with the RB16 proving skittish for both Albon and teammate Max Verstappen in the early part of last year.

Asked by Motorsport.com how he has found adjusting to a new car concept both during the filming day and in the simulator, Perez noted there were definite differences to what he has previously driven.

"It is quite different, I can already spot the differences," Perez said.

"[You can feel] the strong front end that the car has and so on, those are things that as soon as you jump into the car and the simulator. You can spot them out fairly quickly."

Perez is Verstappen's fourth teammate in the last four years, replacing Albon who was dropped after just one full season in the Red Bull seat.

Albon himself had been drafted in as a replacement for Pierre Gasly, who lost the seat after just 12 races in 2019 amid similar struggles in matching Verstappen.

Perez acknowledged from his initial running for Red Bull that he could understand why his predecessors may have struggled to adapt to it.

"I think it's obviously a car [that] I can see why not every driver can adapt to it," Perez said.

"I can already spot that. In terms of the timing that I need, to know exactly where to set up the car, where to take the final tenths out of it.

"That comes with experience in the car, and learning how to make the most out of it. That's something that will come just once I fully understand. I hope it doesn't take me too long."

Although Perez was unwilling to draw any firm conclusions from his brief shakedown run-out in the RB16B at Silverstone, conducting on demonstration tyres, he felt there were positive signs in the car for the year ahead.

"It's a filming day, so it's all about trying to get myself comfortable in the car," Perez said. "I can kind of already see that there is potential in it, and I can spot some of the differences.

"It's on test tyres and so on, so I don't want to draw any conclusions. But I can just see there is some good potential in the car."

Sergio may not, but I do!

Expect Max to win the quali battle pretty convincingly, though I also expect good things from Sergio in the races. Depends on how much luck he has.

Red Bull always seems to either win the race, come close to winning the race, or going out of the race on the 8th lap.

Honestly if Sergio is within 0.2sec of Max, it's going to be very hard for RBR to drop him in '22

This makes me sad! Lee Stevenson is leaving as Max his no1 mechanic! He is the best and very passionate. :(
Gonna miss seeing him cheering on tv. Thinking of him what he did with his team before the race in Hungeria
when Max crashed!
He stays with RBR but not the raceweekends but something with showcars events?




Edit: From his Insta: 👨🏻‍🔧 Chief mechanic on the Show-car team.

/trollmode on

Stevens is packing his bags after learning the f1 team will crumble and fall

/trollmode off

Anyway, will be curious. good for the guy to have something that he prefers to embrace yet still with RedBull.
It'll be an opportunity for others though.

Taking photo is not preferred because of busy day at filming day :lol: I hope what they hide is better than Marko's hiding style.
Of course Redbull themself hide it very well.

Taking time for vids and pics of an old car is one hell of a difference in a tightly scheduled agenda to make their neccesary goals with THIS YEARS contender :? :?

Dont be ridiculous. Not one single image or vid, not even with a phone for insta or something. Thats intentional, and has nothing to do with time.
