They do have the pace but it would be interesting if they have enough speed to beat Max this season.

I also think this is Danny Ric's last season. He has been terrible.
Nah, Redbull just could not get the balance right at this race. But one thing is clear, Ferrari is going to be a regular headache for Redbull through the season. Maybe the Redbull is not as bulletproof as they were, in which case the fight for the title may be closer this season.
Apparently, Appendix causes drag :-)
Some sources are stating that he may only have a few races to pick things up according to Marko. They have Lawson waiting to pick up the seat, and right now things might not be going towards Ricciardo finding his way back in to a full time ride, much less moving up to the senior team.
I watched that Russell crash again and wondered if that crash was avoidable. I think he panicked and lost the car. It seemed partly his fault. A more experienced driver would have handled that situation differently l felt. That said, Alonso was a bit naughty and deserved the penalty.
I heard that Russell has said that he was looking down at his dash board , picking a setting , and was surprised by being so close to Fred when he looked up .
