Agree that Fernie may have done it on purpose to 're-boot' the dash lights on the steer wheel

Max making a braking mistake in Q1...
A rare sight, but I believe Max has no high hopes for Bahrain.....

For sure.

I have a feeling that RB now might be behind Ferrari regarding the tiny and unpredictable operating window.
And team MERC is now probably the 2nd team after McLaren.....

How times have changed

Track related ..All MAX can do in the race is damage limitation and score some WDC points ..

The clock is ticking for the Red Bull Team...
The RB21 s@cks beyond our imagination (!)

Exactly my friend

On the other hand : The red flag can give us more time in the RB box..
Hopefully they can find quickly some setup adjustments at that Frankenstein car ..
And hopefully in the right direction...
