I think they were also pretty strong in practice.
But they make too many mistakes.
Both SAI and LEC as drivers and Ferrari as a team. Even though LEC hinted today that his lap delete was due to something with the tyres, I think driver error also plays some role.

Redbull keeping checo into 2025 will need to be studied.

Yuki in there might still salvage a second place WCC for next season. But my god they are doomed with just max fighting probably going to be lucky to finish 4th in 2025

I'm not thinking that far ahead but it should even out more for RBR with the new car knowing what to do better seing the wrong line taken with the RB 20.

Interesting how Lando says something to the effect of its nice when the car is fast so I don’t have to push the car as much and not have to go over and beyond.

I think RB is maintaining a wrong policy for years now.

They used to be this nursery for new and upcoming talent to give a chance, immediately rewarding good performance and ditching failing performance, both in RB as a team as in toro rosso.
And consequently resulting in getting a lot of talent into F1 as a whole.
But last years, they've been the opposite. Keeping on Checo, re-hiring RIC...
If Yuki is parked at VCARB due to the Honda connection and he is the runner up in performance...then something is clearly wrong
Nothing at the expense of Yuki's performance, just that he shouldn't be the runner up when there's so much talent out there.
But a lot of teams follow this strategy. Stakes are financially so high, that taking risks with new talented drivers is looked at with suspicious eyes.
