2025 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Pierre Wache might not be washed

We are actually legit, not a fugazi win like Japan.

RB21 is not a bad car all things considered so far. Had race pace to win in 2 out of 7 races. Add to that Suzuka, 3 out of 7 isn't bad.

So horner sacking when?

We are actually faster WTF Red Bull.

and congrats Red Bull, tha car was quick today

[AR3-GP]

400th race for RBR. Let's GO!!

and what else can you say about Max?

[f1isgood]

Red Bull technical team, my hats off. Beating the McLaren's after a showing like Miami on pure pace, Simply Lovely guys

Max wins 4 in a row at Imola (maybe even 5 in a row was possible with 2023)!

Fantastic win, great overtake at the start and great pace during all the race. Congrats Max!!!! He was faster than Piastri and and even slightly faster than Norris.

Good strategy also from the team for going long unlike Piastri and good pitstop. Tsunoda one point is also decent after starting from 20th place.

WDC is back on. Improvement of race pace due to the updates confirmed.

McL hampering themselves with two cars on front. Curious how long they will stick to the 'let them race' philosophy.

Max Max Super Max

really hope this speed is down to the introduced upgrades, let's see what happens in Barcelona

[AR3-GP]

I saw a message on another forum that said Red Bull did some kind of setup change that they normally don't do on a race weekend. Does anyone know what that was about?

id reserve judgement until seeing a proper passing track without vsc or sc intervention to help. max got real lucky that the vsc gave him a free pitstop and a pitstop worth of gap to play with so he could dictate the sc strat. not to mention this track has only 1 passing spot at turn 1.

The VSC didn't matter at all. He would have won it comfortably either way. Before the VSC on lap 29, he had 9 second buffer to Norris and was matching Norris pace the whole time. He also had 33 second buffer to PIA with 28 second pit delta, and would have come out 4-5 seconds ahead of Pia on a normal stop, but with 15 lap tire advantage. Max had that wrapped up no matter what.

Damn, passing Oscar and creating a solid gap of 3+ seconds was all luck. The VSC luck was completely washed out by the SC. Not sure what race you were watching.

Oh, and drivers did pass at places beyond T1. Didn't Lando pass Russell elsewhere?

The driver made all the difference on driver's track, yet again, just like Suzuka. Won 4th time in a row at Imola, three of which not even having the fastest car.
Don't overreact again looking at this result. It is very reminiscent to Jeddah, where Max again looked faster than the slower Mclaren driver (and poorer tire manager) on the first stint on medium. Track specifics and Norris quali underperformances helped again.
