I'm guessing 110HP, Max Verstappen has come out and said the cars are very slow and he's not sure how well they prepare the Ladies if they look to step up.

Sainz over Perez is not so clear cut decision, especially how RB#2s struggled in the past. Most likely he will have a similar performance as a 'relaxed Perez' (vs the 'I can be a champion' Perez of last year) And, you are still ignoring things you don't like for your version of the history. RB repo...

Re: Silly Season 2025
It does not matter what I project, the scenario will play out the same regardless whether Red Bull is dominant or not. There is an upside if the car itself becomes less competitive, but currently we don't have any evidence of that. If anything, having the competition catch up it becomes all the mor...

I agree, but the trouble is we don’t know all the relevant parameters. We see leaders regularly saving tyres and engines when out in front. Also I think that Räikkönen really enjoyed driving fastest laps, so that itself could influence who collects them. I don't believe that engines and tyres neede...
