Then the issue was to make the aero package work like it worked before and that didn't worked like before . That's why they got in trouble to find the right balance setup package at Singapore .
Sim runs didn't made it work on Vriday night .
In the last hours RB dropped the suspension to make it work , but that failed too .
The issue of the lower setup was that they couldn't run fast enough over the curbs in QF because the car was bottoming out over the curbs ,very shortly followed by brake and balance issues .
In the last 20 laps of the race it was going better , because the car was lighter and was bottoming lesser.
That's why the RB19 was 1.5 sec. slower in QF ,it was since 2016 that both RB cars didn't qualified for QF3 !


And that's why the RB19 was extremely slow in the turns , MAX couldn't fight the turns like he's used to do ...
Singapore wasn't track specific ! The Monaco street track with ultra slow turns ? Who won there ?

Newey needs a miracle to make the balance package work again in just one week .
In the land of the rising sun. HONDA's home race !
I think you've been reading too much conspiracy theories

Nothing was changed on the RB, it's the same car.

You'll see next weekend when they resume norm service.

So much rumors lol

When Horner and even Newey says nothing was changed, I don't know why you would trust anyone else
Appreciate 1
