It's so they can utilise their technological input on manufacturing, fabrication and expertise in mechanics. They'll still be buying as many parts as possible from Ferrari. They're basically outsourcing as much as they can get away with
Red Bull are removing a device which helps change ride height. Obviously they never used in races as they are a good honest bunch
What? Oh that old thing, yeah we just put it on the car for a laugh, never used it. Dont even know what it does really. Must be one of Newey's little practical jokes.
Think that’s good in my opinion. It’s too easy to exploit as shown last time out. I know Red Bull/RB is unusual but with teams effectively loaning drivers to each other it’s just more opportunities to mess around

Yes, it has been abused and used in a different way than was envisaged so right to drop it.
Still open to abuse I think though. First runs in Q3 are done, second driver goes and has a small shunt or spin, out come the yellow flags.
I'm not sure teams would ruin a grid position for a solitary point, compared to chucking softs on a back marker late on in the race
Yeah they would. Using this season as an example...It's much closer than it is now between Max & Lando. Everyone has done a run in Q3. Max on provisional pole, Lando second. Sergio is down in 8th cause he's shite.
Sergio comes out first, has an "accidental" spin into the gravel, yellow flags out, everyone else is ruined. Point goes to Max.
Added bonus is that Sergio starts on the hard tyres, goes long and tries to slow up Lando during the race.
No real bearing on the race but that’s a ridiculous penalty for Russell
He was bloody well alongside him... Martin Brundle got it spot on, might as well drive off the track as a defending driver to ensure that the person passing you gets penalised on that basis
A 5 second penalty is really, really harsh. What should have been a psychological blow to Verstappen is voided because Verstappen drove like an idiot and threw his toys out the pram
Norris is an idiot... Knew he was getting a penalty the moment that incident happened; Stewards have been consistent with that all race - Should have given the position back, and he'd have had a couple of laps to try the pass again.

Not surprising given that the Prema seats in the latter have all been taken up... Plus I guess we'll see him in GB3 as well
Be interesting to see how he does against the experienced FRECA drivers who do a second season at that level
Can only respect Verstappen when he keeps it clean like this, excellent racing
We've certainly seen others like Leclerc / Russell / Hamilton be more aggressive with him
no you utterly insufferable Dutch prick you pushed him off track so he had nowhere to go
