So, does anyone else here think Red Bull will win all the races this year?
I'm not a fan of theirs but F1 has often had 1 team completely dominating the rest, and now it's their turn again.
Wdyt could be done to try and get rid of these eras of domination?
Assuming reliability isn't an issue I don't see why they can't. According to max they only lost at Brazil last year due to wrong setup on the sprint weekend. However they have turned focus to 2024 now so other teams might get a sniff.
Also with Checo being unable to challenge his team mate, Max has no threat in the races so it's very possible her abs RBR will continue to win.
Whilst Merc were dominant and Lewis won a lot here was either fighting his team mate or someone else, I don't remember him solo winning races by 20+ seconds. Reminds me of the previous RBR domination with Seb.
Max has had at least 1 DNF every season, even 2 if you count his Bahrain last year. He is not going to win everything.
They have absolutely bullet proof reliability. The engines are in an extremely stable point right now and on top of that Red Bull have such a huge margin over the other teams in terms of race pace they aren't even pushing that hard. I think it's very likely they win out the rest of the season. I'd be happy to eat my words but I don't think I will. I think the only hope we have is another sprint weekend setup mistake. Though I think this year they would just break Parc Ferme and win from the back.
Checo could still mop up any of those race wins, were Max to suffer a DNF..
Possibly, but we've seen pretty mixed form from him lately
Good point,.. there is a possibility for someone from another team to take a win..
Certainly looking like Red Bull could win the remaining races, barring any failures...🤷🏻♂️
It's a very strong possibility, but I'd put my money on another team winning at least one race. There are enough races left that it's probable that at least once Max will get into a turn 1 incident, suffer a puncture, etc. And if that happens, it's very likely that another team can pick up a win given Checo's form.
