Kmag less than a .1 behind Lewis in the Merc. This track is strange.

Horner : We tried several setups and we tried everything ...
But the car didn't responded to our different setups .

Personally I find this really strange , because as we know Singapore is a high downforce track and suddenly the RB19 runs bad with a high downforce package.
But...Let's look back at the Monaco GP , Monaco is also a high downforce track !
And who won the Monaco GP ? Ohhh....Yes !

I'm pretty sure that Red Bull had to change the RB19 radically by the new FIA regulations !
I hear that the RB19's floor was too flexible (can be a rumour)
Checo's car was understeering and oversteering at the same time , and he couldn't brake anymore and lost it completely in QF2 !
As far as I know is Checo a street track specialist , but he couldn't keep his car at the track !
Checo's car was porpoising !
MAX won the last 10 races in a row , and suddenly he can't make it to QF3 !
Red Bull is been screwed !

Wolff after the QF : From now on Red Bull is no longer a competitor !

So yes, given the circumstances . I find this very suspicious ...

Red Bull won't be at the podium in Singapore !

Thank you Toto Wolff !


BTW : Congrats for Ferrari , finally they found 'IT....

Let's hope so . Because currently it looks really bad for Red Bull

It's been since 2019 that they ran so badly like today .
Hopefully we'll hear more about the whole RB situation ....

I remember Wolff saying that he didn't like something underneath when Checo's car was winched at Monaco and it may stem from this.

What can he say otherwise ?

We just had to remove our flexible floors and flexible wings ...
That's why the RB19 really s@cks now !

One thing is for sure : The FIA came with new regulations !
