And MAX still is the leader in the WDC and he will be the 2024 World Champion .
This means 4 World Titles in a row .

Still in doubt ?
Just look at how his teammate Checo drives with the RB20...
That's the MAX-Factor (!)
I like Max but Checo is brutal!! I would say 80% of the field could do at least what he does weekly if not better. Dude is trash. They should let him have DRS the whole race. Maybe he would grab a point. Maybe

Fine with me, as long as Mclaren or lando doesn't win

Watching Mclaren and Lando this season made me appreciate Hamilton.

As much as I dont like Nor or Mclaren, I still would rather see him win than Ham.

Max went a little too hard this race, but I think it may have worked in his favor.

Realistically, if Max didn't get the penalties and let Lando through - Lando probably would have won the race and Max would have likely pulled off P4 (although the RB was slow af on the hards). Would have been a net gain of 13 points for Lando.

In this scenario it was only a net gain of 10 points.

Red Bull seriously suck right now.

Waiting on some one to say the RB 20 has the bending wings like Ferrari must have, it takes a long time to fabricate them and hope there is something for Interlagos. With a new PU and those ready wings MAX will stamp on the others and Checo should move up too.

That's just no from the rookie. Hope Horner and Marko gave him a good dressing down for that.

I couldn't agree more

The RB20 top speed is too slow + the race pace is too slow compared to McLaren and Ferrari.
Even with a brand new Honda PU...The clock is ticking for the Red Bull Team and MAX.
One thing is for sure , it won't be easy (!)

But I'm grateful that Ferrari is super fast now ...

Rumors going around that Colapinto could take Perez seat in 25'.

That would be AMAZING.

Colapinto definately deserves a seat in F1 next year. If not in RB, then somewhere else.
He's a competitive match to ALB who is generally considered a skilled driver I think.
Of course we don't really know how good ALB currently is, he outclassed of course the Goatifi and Sargeant, but was severely outclassed by Max when he was still racing at RB.
We'll see next year when he has SAI next to him

I'm reading that Sainz has an exit clause for 2026 if Red Bull has a seat for him. I have a feeling he won't want to go there because I don't see things getting better next year for RB.

It's hard to say with the limited amount of time we've seen Lawson out there but I think Colapinto has shown some serious promise and could probably be had at a lower contract value for now.

https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/30989...colapinto.html

"There are whispers that Helmut Marko, mainly, is keen to attract Colapinto. By letting Perez go after Brazil and giving Lawson and Hadjar the chance, it can be seen whether it is actually necessary to acquire the Argentine from Williams for a hefty price tag. It should not be forgotten that Hadjar was well ahead of Colapinto in the F2 championship."


I'm curious about Colapinto's contract that it's considered a "hefty price tag" to him out. Obviously cheaper to promote a RB Junior driver...
