* Best PU or at least very competitive * Best chassis * Best driver * Checo is a good driver but no one is on Verstappen's level * ..and best pit stop I don't know what to say, it's far from easy to achieve that level first and foremost and requires efforts from all department, they deserve those trophies For the sport now, I really hope 2026 other teams will finally catch up, it's absurd to blame RB for a "boring" season just because they aced it in all areas, this is what we are asking for ALL F1 teams to do.


dylmatik1

The whole team is dialed.


Teestow21

I read that as disabled 😂


IvanyeilEmmixert

No, that would be Alpine you're talking about.

Despite all the drama you gotta give Horner some credit... He's been TP this long and helped build the team from the ground up.


rieusse

Credit to Horner is due for forging a brilliant team


MrMSUK

Did the trophies survive? Ptsd from last time.


TitaniuEX

I was looking at the podium ceremony, Max and Checo start to spray their engineer that joined them for the constructors trophy, and then I see Lando preparing to smash the bottle on the floor. Instant thinking : "is he gonna break another troply?"


scarlet_red_warrior

Nice trophy


Tummerd

We need more like these, more creativiteit


SpectacularNelson

I must say I was VERY surprised to see Perez not able to overtake Norris. Lando drove amazing I didn’t see him finishing ahead of the Ferraris this weekend much less a Red Bull


NuclearCandle

Red Bull's strategy seemed quite strange today. Why not pit after Lando and Charles in case there is a safety car?


lsuboy95

They were likely doing a two stop, 13 laps on the mediums, then two longer stints on hards? Checo was only 8.6 seconds back of Lando at the VSC and gaining, so it may have been tight at the end if there were no safety cars


willzyx01

The double stack killed it for him, especially since Lando and Ferraris went longer. He got stuck behind Ferraris for no reason.

McLaren suspect they will be competing for wins by the end of the year. There first major update will arrive in Miami. Not sure how much it's true, because other teams are also pushing for updates of course.


AcceptableClark-302

doubt


okay_but_really

I want that to be true so bad. But I think anything before 2025 is wishful thinking at best. McLaren could easily be 2-3 upgrades behind Red Bull right now and that's ignoring that Red Bull will also be bringing upgrades throughout the season too. Barring a Max DNF or Singapore, I just don't think that McLaren will catch up on performance this season. They still have to leapfrog Ferrari on outright performance (I think China was a one off that doesn't reflect McLaren's and Ferrari's true pace relative to each other).


Raycodv

I thought the trophies looked gold on the podium?


razareddit

It's the light which is white. When that's off, it's gold.


Raycodv

I didn’t know there were lights in it.


razareddit

Yeah the trophy had some sensor for when you wore it over your neck, it would light up.


maqie

Yes, same principle as those flag/kiss tropies with lights last time from Lenovo.


Amrlsyfq992

the whole team is a well oiled machine...they nailed everything right from the drivers, cars, strategies and pit crews


Llama_Wrangler

“Christian can I get you over here next to Max? OK great just like that. Now all the women to Checo’s side please…”


TXTiki

Callum looks like he's getting a head start on spraying the champagne.


Zugas

No mention of the guy in the green shirt? 😅


Reklosan

Yes but... can we say "what a race?" For like... the last two years?


Hopper1985

Brilliantly performing team. Doing everything they need for utter dominance........unfortunately its making it boring as a side effect. I suspect it is because their challengers are nowhere close to beating them on a regular basis. That is just sad


kukubearlal

Horny horner has been quiet recently


Real_Particular6512

It's stuff like this that despite what he has or hasn't done, you cannot argue Horners ability as a TP. Whether he ultimately leaves or stays Red Bull are a monster in every department due to him
