Refreshing and satisfying to know that it looks similar to the 20 at first glance, they will start to fine tune it now for Melbourne in just 20 days time, I doubt there will be a repeat of the problem that befell MAX last year at that place. I see there's another sponsor on the rear wing, gate.io, something to do with crypto currency like bitcoin.

Yeah . The RB21 is a wolf in sheep's clothing (!)

It has flexible wings , just like the other teams ...
But in race 9 (SPAIN) the FIA will step in, and all the teams have to remove all the flexible stuff by new 2025 FIA regulations .
Why not from race 1 (Australia) ?
So , actually It's just a waste of $Millions in the teams budget cap .
As we know ...Mohammed Ben Sulayem and the FIA s@cks (as usual)!

As we know ,It has been discussed many times in our F1 threads..

"Felipe Massa and the crashgate" .
Well...Finally the crashgate case has a determined date . The trial will take place October 28-31 .
Testimonials will be present in court . Felipe Massa has a big chance to win his case vs LEW .
Too bad for LEW as he can lose his first 2008 F1 World Title (!)
Source is the Dutch article in GPFANS => https://www.gpfans.com/nl/f1-nieuws/...ces-is-bekend/

May justice triumph (!)

Indeed it is long overdue for Felipe, FIA can't keep hiding by their behind the scenes 'made in stone' agreement anymore which looks more now both pretentious and unfair.

I heard Max's long run pace was the best of the field. I think RB did the right thing in not going too drastic but harkening back to RB18/19. I think Mclaren and Ferrari might regret making so many drastic changes - especially Ferrari with a new suspension they have no data on from previous years.

Looks like Haas is struggling even more not taking Ferrari's new front suspension parts

Hey AmuroRay Lewis Hamilton put Ferrari at the top of the timesheets as pre-season testing resumed at the Bahrain International Circuit, setting the pace from former Mercedes team mate George Russell in Thursday’s morning session

His whole lawsuit suggests that they're going to entirely toss the results of the race, which is ludicrous imo. Ferrari did Ferrari things with his pitstop. That lost the race for him. I kinda feel bad that he feels the need to rehash this all again, because I highly doubt anything is going to change. Championships take a whole season, not one race. Isn't that what everyone says about 2021?

On the other hand my friend...

I just heard that tomorrow (Friday) , MAX gets (new)! upgrades to upgrade the upgrades from last wednesday .

I think that Red Bull still showed us a kind of RB21 test mule ..
As they showed in London at the 2025 car presentation the old RB20 from last year.
#Sandbagging

IMHO , the best has yet to come (!)
