Well we are 6 races into the championship and Max has had a DNF at Melbourne due to Brakes overheating. And LANDO NORRIS Beating him at Miami from a 5th place start. As Murray Walker always says nothing is predictable in F1. And it seems Red Bull is in a bad situation, Mr Horner's scandal and the loss of Adrian Newley the most important person on the team as he is the Designer. And Max ready to leave. Before Ford come on board with a Engine that we do not know how it will perform against the other teams engines in the 1st season. It may take a few seasons to develop into something competitive.
Adrian Newey is
involved in the design of the Red Bull cars, he designed the suspension for the car which goes back a couple of years, and he redesigns much of his work, he is however only one person in the design team, and it's been a long time since he designed the lot.
The rest of the Red Bull design team will be chomping at the bit to show their value to the team which had been overlooked because of Clarkson's comment that 'specky Newey' could "see air"
The car for next year is done as it's a development of the same car.
As for CH, he's been at the team as an employee for a couple of decades and has seen many come and go, he's built a good ship and the power struggle really should not be happening, he has the full backing and support of the Asian side (51% owners) of Red Bull and it doesn't appear to be in doubt about holding on, the annoying thing is that the scribes of the world would like to see change in the F1 grid order and attacking one man seems to be the only way they can see it happening, for that reason alone I support Bed Bull against all of the other 'Holier than thou@ team bosses and the rags that they tell their stories to.
Max and his annoying dad, are simply passing through the Red Bull stable as did Coulthard, Webber, Vettel, et'al
Good as he is the time one spends at the top is fleeting, and, as we already know, he does want to do other stuff too.
So, what we as Formula One and Motor sports fans should be doing instead of complaining about the one car dominating, is asking and whinging about the competitors, they're the ones who are letting the side down, when are they gonna get their act together, how many more years are they going to keep turning up with a bucket of bolts that can't win races?
Now I know Lando Norris won the last race, and good driving and good fortune it was too, but,
and this is the ugly one... One swallow does not make a summer, I hope that some more are on their way, but it needs to be worked for.
