How Red Bull's F1 weakness was exposed in Monaco GP

Рет қаралды 621,655

Күн бұрын

Red Bull’s second defeat in three Formula 1 races was by far its worst performance of the season. It was comprehensively outgunned, with Max Verstappen managing only sixth place in the Monaco Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc claimed an emotional home victory for Ferrari.
So was this limp Red Bull performance, compounded by Sergio Perez’s big accident on the first lap, merely a one-off caused by the unique demands of the Monte Carlo circuit, or is there more to it than that?

Monaco may be a historic, prestigious and demanding circuit, but it's becoming ever more clear that it's no longer a good race track for modern F1 cars. Yes Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes did most likely have the better car for the circuit, Verstappen being unable to even try an overtake while he is lapping 2 seconds faster than Russel is something I'd call a major issue.

IMO Monaco showed two things I think should be changed. Tire changes under red flag shouldn’t count as changing compounds. 2nd going back to the last timing marker should only be as a last result. They have loads of other data to show car positions at time of red flag. If they cannot determine from all other accurate information , then use last timing marker.

@@Hydraav2 I get where you're coming from, but are they struggling? Or is it more that the other teams -- after 2 full seasons -- are finally beginning to catch up? Bear in mind that the only race it can be said that he flat out lost was Miami, and that took a MAJOR bit of luck with the safety car's timing. And even then Lando had to drive his ass off to keep Max behind. If Monaco allowed overtaking like a normal track, no way in Hades he stays in P6. Unless and until I see a SUSTAINED drop in performance from him or the car, we can only go by his track record of being THE most consistent driver. RB would've won the constructor's last year even without Checo's points, and Max had more than double the points of P2 in the driver's championship. The rest of the field still very much has an uphill battle in trying to knock Max from the top step. EDIT: To be fair, the only struggles I recall seeing were the exploding brakes, and the too-stiff suspension at Monaco. Everything else can be chalked up to gains made by other teams rather than an RB decline.

@@Giovanni-be1ki Thing is, if you come straight out the gate in a new rules cycle with a car that's at 95% of the theoretical limit, and everyone else is around 85-90%, then they are going to eventually catch you because you don't have much more performance you can feasibly eke out and they have loads. They will get you eventually. That's why I'm so annoyed that the FIA are having another massive rule change for 2026, because by then we'd probably see 3 or 4 teams regularly winning and possibly an actual fight for the title rather than another Verstappen coronation.

I think that Monaco should be a sprint race weekend, but it’s not because I think two races would be exciting. It’s the thought of getting two qualifying sessions, on two different days, that gets me excited at the idea of a Monaco sprint weekend, especially as they’d get to change things with the setup for the second qualifying session. That way both Friday and Saturday would be way more interesting with the two qualifying sessions, the sprint would be as exciting as a practice session, and the race would remain the same.

What if they completely reformatted Monaco? Made it a time trial instead of a traditional race? I know that sounds crazy but if we want to keep Monaco on the calender because of its history yet somehow make the Grand Prix more exciting then we need to start thinking outside the box. 20 cars, five laps each, fastest cumultive time over the five laps wins.

Its so hard to pass on this track that unless you are much faster, you can't actually pass. When Riccardo won, he was down double digits HP and no one could pass him.

If Perez doesn't get back to form immediately, we will likely see Ferrari win the constructors. Last year, Max's points alone would have won them the constructors, but this year is a whole new ball game. Driver's championship should still be Max, unless something miraculously happens. But ever since Mclaren and Ferrari brought their upgrades, they have been right there with Redbull every step of the way, and they have 2 great drivers, while Redbull only have 1.

@ashavin3018 21 күн бұрын

Ed, I think your blowing this way out of proportion. I know you guys want a title fight BUT I am afraid you wont get that this season or next, sorry. If Max had gotten a clean final lap then he would have been on the front row or at least the second row. Pole is the most influential factor in Monaco so whoever gets it would have the best chance of winning bar some strategy or car issue. Also, why would you build a car to win on street circuits only?? there are a hand full of this type of circuit, all the rest are conventional. Once we get to the conventional circuits then the RB will be back to its natural self.

One thing I've noticed, and didn't see mentioned anywhere, is that when Max didn't have a comfortable pace advantage and needs to force the limit of the car, he made errors. Miami and Q3 Monaco are the prime examples. That's another positive thing Ferrari and McLaren upgrades brought to the championship by being closer and challenging RB pace on some tracks. I hope this trend to continue for the sake of a good championship fight for the fans, and may be a three or four champ contenders next year.

6:10 - RBR says Max had performance loosing floor damage post-collision, Max says he did not and the timesheet says his lap-time was as fast either side of hitting the bollard. Max himself complained he couldn’t drive the RBR20 as fast as he needed to at Miami from the start of the race, which is why he slid wide and hit the bollard in the chicane. This is the same problem, a tight corner riding kerbs - low grip, low speed.
