Norris has only won like 2 races out of the last 6, one in dutch gp and Singapore gp, Dutch gp being a short track with little to no passing, and same with Singapore.
Mate . The new RB20 upgrades are like a shot in the dark.
Hopefully I'm wrong ....

Their monza wing got nerfed remember, I highly doubt they'll be quick again on those fast tracks.

No more mini drs

Sure, but it remains to be seen, they haven't used that wing yet because they needed a higher downforce wing in Singapore. Until there's a formal technical directive and change in the testing protocol, I think they may still have some bit of flex going.

Yeah I know , the Red Bull colors are fantastic . But MAX's situation depends from the 2026 FORD PU .
I have a very bad feeling about that , that's why I think MAX will follow the HONDA PU and A.Newey.
A.Newey is already green and Stroll has the money to buy MAX .

BTW : MAX isn't looking bad in green

MAX doesn't cares what his racing suit looks like or what color the car is..
MAX is just waiting for the right moment to do it .
And that moment will be the right moment...

Let wait and see what he does, if anything I think it will be a long wait, we can't make his mind up for him

Why does everyone think NOR will win you say?

Well, to increase my chance of not having to go to the hospital by 33%

I can actually imagine seeing Alonso and Max on the same team, and Stroll gets shoved.

Daddy Stroll would disagree

Nor doesnt know how to handle pressure nor has he ever been in a title fight. I think as that pressure builds, it will take a toll on him and you'll see some very detrimental errors, especially if the RB20 takes a good step forward with the upgrades and he actually needs to race against Max and others.
