That’s such a terrible take, multiple teams were using this and it wouldn’t affect the pace by that much.

I was joking about tanking but I’m sure they are putting zero development into this years car.

I agree with you.

Unless, of course, there is something we don't know about what they were doing. The changing of the floors kind of struck me as odd, for a team that had a car so put together up until this weekend.

All I can wager is that RBR didn't get their setup close to right after adjusting to whatever the TD said. It was estimated by some that the TD would only cost about a tenth of a second, but RBR was way further off than a tenth. They'll adjust and be back at the top.

Right, pretty much all the teams had flexible wings. Floors may be more interesting, but RB was pointing at this week as a bad week for them all year.

Also, the non flexible wings have been employed for a few weeks prior to Singapore.

50/50 on if he continues… may only have a sportscar ride next year.

I’d like to see him go to a smaller team and elevate them as he did with coyne in 21. Regardless hes a mid/ back of the field guy in Indycar

Piastri extends contract with McLaren until 2026.

If Lando sticks around, they’ve got their lineup set for 2 seasons after this one.

New regs are what, 2026?

So sealed up until then and Audi joins the fray.

Hell yeah. That works.

We’ll have to be closer than that. Makes for a long day with a 2 year old and the concerts.

Glad to see Ricciardo earn his seat again.

The wink wink, nod between Ricciardo and RB leadership has been glorious.

Let Danny be backup until his payout with McLaren was buttoned up then fired Devries and put him in as soon as they could.

Yep. Ricciardo has shown his savvy for a while - he knows the business.

Has he though? After 12 years in the sport, he's back at the redbull junior team.

Fair point. An AT seat is better than no seat. He's just a good racer like Hulk and well liked in the paddock is maybe a better way to say it.

He's a hard nosed racer man. His RBR days were fun to watch.

Prepared for disappointment this weekend as this track isn't in the roach coach Haas' wheelhouse.

The RB copy can't get here soon enough.

30 minutes to FP1.
