I have money on Alonso. As fast as Redbull is, Alonso is a vastly better driver. And of course once Max comes through, they'll tell Checo to get out of the way anyway.
Alonso is the daddy here and outsmarts them all; however should Max arrive at Checo's doors, be sure something like "tuputamadre" (in Spanish) will come off his lips, meaning he's not going to give up the position peacefully if at all
Changed elements on Max's car for today's race: - Changed to the previously used gearbox - New gearbox hydraulic system - New driveshaft - Rear suspensions on both sides
This will be an interesting race as it’ll be the first time we get to see the true unbridled pace of the RB with max on full charge. My guess is he’ll be circa 1.5s faster than the next fastest non Redbull car. We shall see. Max highly likely to be the race winner. This is an easy track to overtake and there is a virtual certainty of safety cars which will close up any gaps between him and the leader. Lambs to the slaughter time. This race could be so one sided… Hopefully I’m wrong otherwise the season is going to be extremely long and boring.
Wow, Nico just said when RedBull uses their DRS, it gives them a 17mph advantage over everyone else....that's huge.
