I think it's just that they're not heqds and shoulders above the competition and are not used to designing a car that needs to run in dirty air more often. They'll figure it out eventually, but it's pretty telling that now Max is complaining of the same issues Checo always has, and they're both running in dirty air while the team points to an issue with the wind tunnel....

According to Horner and MAX : To fix the RB20 issue completely , a complete new car is needed (!)
So it looks bad for the Red Bull Team, really bad ...

I'm from there, tried American chocolate (Hershew or something), didn't finish my first bite. Never touched another after that, was in NA for a month, drove around in a Ford Expedition and then a Chevy Tahoe. Amazing things, could fit a house in those, an X7 looked like a kid's toy next to it.

That’s fair. You’ve tasted it and didn’t like it. My waistline is very envious of your palate. And I dig it. Same here with room temperature beer, escargots and polenta. But why diss an entire culture when one doesn’t have a leg to stand on ?

Back to racing now ?

Eh? I just said the chocolate and typical bread is bloody awful.

I visit the US often and love it. You can get great food in the US if you have (very) deep pockets. I had a delicious Australian Wagyu steak at the Beverly Wiltshire.

The standard food is just bloody awful though. Probably as you have such a huge population that needs to be fed one way or another.

In contrast we have more sheep and beef than people.

We have better food.

Back to F1 racing. We have better drivers too.

Malibu less than 2 months ago. Love the US.

Nice car BTW and racings not for another week so we can talk about food, F1 drivers have to eat.. Interesting what you said about the food in US, when I was in Miami years ago I got that impression also, unless you pay an open cheque at a 'I'll park your car sir' restaurant, together with the expected huge tip ..! then you get that run-o-the mill after taste. F1 has a budget and so did I with my family to enjoy things and all the other entertainments without getting ripped off in some swanky restaurants. I'll leave who the better drivers are for everyone else to cat fight

Sweet ride

I'd love to visit Australia but the jet lag from my recent trip to Hawaii tried to kill me

Better food? More importantly does Australia have hotter women?

Good food and hotter women go hand in hand, you should visit Poland KbD and your eyes will pop out at the women...it's what I tried to tell Charlie Lec and seing his GF's....well, I won't say anymore !!

Might have to make that Poland trip although KBD is partial to Greek women

I was there a few weeks ago, and yes. Especially in Krakow it was difficult to not get a sore neck, that really stood out... lots of very nice young women there

I get why people watch NASCAR but there's a world of better racing out there, like FIA World Endurance Championship, MotoGP, World Superbike, archived F1 races...

Could never get into NASCAR for some reason. I've started to follow WEC a lot more closely now because of how close the cars are to the road version and the technology actually shared and used - unlike all the F1 marketing Mercedes has been using with the current AMG's with E Performance

Nah. 76% of Americans have travelled abroad. And hundreds of millions of foreigners have travelled to America. Most of them have eaten chocolate and bread in America and abroad. They know the difference. Sure, European chocolate and bread taste different. Perhaps even better. Even Mexican Coca-Cola tastes better. But that’s subjective. There’s nothing bloody awful or foul or vomit-like with American chocolate and bread. Nothing. Only in the corrupt imagination of better-than-thou folk.

Max and RB losing on purpose to give themselves extra time on the chassis for 2025.

No. And no.
