2025 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

[Bill]

I was looking forward to max recovery

Antonelli with brain switched off.

Not even an ounce of good luck this season, screwed in qualy and now in the race. That's gg, I guess.

[Vettel165]

No luck, game over. But it was before this race. Told you last year we were very lucky to win the title, and absolute miracle it was. One crash like this and it would have been over.

Kinda off-topic; is it weird that for a few months now I have a strong feeling that the Ver to MB deal was already made/done earlier this year ?

I had that feeling as well judging by Max body language. It's not the deal though that has been already made early this year but agreement on intentions about potential transfer, which would depend on certain factors, such as competitive level of his current RB car and the chances to win this year's championship, Max ability to trigger the exit clause and so on.

The reaction on that crash was so calm it only adds to my suspicion ..

[Sergej]

anyway look at those McLarens, they are MILES away

Max was never in the title fight

[Vettel165]

Its life… you win and lose…

[Sergej]

There you go where is Red Bull without Max

[Matt-A]

Whole weekend squandered by the team.

zero points in home race, "interesting" run to Silverstone

Or maybe he realized Kimi was the one who crashed into him, whom he seems to have a soft spot for.

[Ashwinv16]

Sergio Perez was atleast scoring points.

The car isn't easy to drive, but it's not that difficult either.

- Christian Horner

Is the team boss correct in this assessment?

It somehow doesn't compute with Lawson now having more championship points than Tsunoda, despite Lawson switching to the "slower" car and Tsunoda to the "quicker" car after just 2 rounds.

Is the problem a severe lack of driving skill by Tsunoda, Lawson, Perez, Albon and Gasly to handle this "not that difficult" car?

IMO, Red Bull should go all out with a $50m/annum three-year offer for George Russel to solve their second driver problem once and for all!

RBR can have the Verstappen/Russell superteam rather than Mercedes-Benz. [What can go wrong? I hear they get on great!]

[GR's management team's conflict of interest is problematic, but presumably Wolff would be compelled to take the more attractive Red Bull-Ford offer for the services of Russell, while fielding Bottas/Antonelli at Mercedes-Benz.]

Put Max in the VCARB for a free practice session, and alot will be answered
