What to do next in red bull

Rarely it has been more important in Formula 1 to seize the moment. While the first three Grands of the season are on the Prix outlair venue, which are relatively low with most circuits on the calendar, all of them have been won from the position of the pole.

A small sample size, provided, but a common consensus between teams and drivers is that ‘dirty air’-the current ground impact was the problem to reduce the rules-the abolition has come.

Hence the qualifying has become the most important stage of the weekend, followed by the first lap. And it lies Yuki Sunodabiggest challenge.

The Red Bull Cockpit had much more than Tsunoda’s first race weekend. Team-mate is just tenth place Max Verustapane The FP1 looked impressive, but it could be the point: the team’s boss Christian Horner denied that Tsunoda was running a high engine mode, but the data seemed to otherwise seem to suggest.

The difference was then widened, although there were circumstances like the red flag, which prevented them from setting a representative performance lap in the FP2. Nevertheless, he was fighting with less car than his predecessor, Liam Lawson – But when he was really counted, he could not do a quick lap together.

The goldsmith clearly had the speed of reaching Q3 unlike Lawson or really late period. Sergio PerezBut he inflated his lines in Q2 in two major moments, where RB21’s snapness caught him: in chicken, at the front speed, and on the radius of Turn 2. His first run, used a soft-compound piralis, was not enough to cut, made the second run more important.

This condemned him a finish out of the top 10 on the day of a race, where for overtaking you needed to be almost a rapid lap than the car.

Tsunoda’s mandate in the Red Bull is not to beat Vestapen or even to match the team game as number two: collect points, ensure less score to rivals, and have a streak presence to prevent other teams from playing strategic games. Tire performance, dirty air and traffic conditions were played separately in Suzuka, McLaren Could divide his strategy to attack Vestepen’s leadership. In future race it can be reduced to risk.

So this means reaching the top of RB21, a car in front of which and rear Axles are regularly on the loggerheads, which will first reach the top. After qualifying in Suzuka, Tsunoda suggested that a gust of wind may be responsible for snap on turn 2-a gate-off-off-Jail-free card that would wear thinly long-term-but admitted that he could have prepared the tire as well.

While Vestapen has a measurement of recent team colleagues, it is that they have experience to further load the northeastern wheels progressively to avoid provoking the taching rear axle of RB 21. It is not a car that rewards a Gang-Ho style of driving, whether Vestapane’s detectors can think of it. Since the car is not going to turn into a short term, Sunoda needs to learn to work for it.

Interestingly, the two red bull drivers evaluated the high downforce level during the FP3 in Suzuka, but Verustapen removed it, while Tsunoda did not. The clear conclusion is that Tsunoda felt more confident with the car in this trim, even though this performance was found by Verustapane in his amazing pole lap.

Tsunoda requires more time in the car, it turns out that its more crazy symptoms reveal themselves differently how they did in the red bull simulator. But it will be difficult to maintain the speed in Bahrain at the end of this week, where the circuit has very different features from those who hosted the first three rounds.

The Bahrain International Circuit is from a period where Harman Tilke, the architect of F1 of choice in the Berney Eclestone era, admitted that the Rasta for the opportunities of engineer overtaking was to incite the drivers to create mistakes by incorporating trick camera changes, and to have a comprehensive attitude in a slow and medium-speed corner, with prominent traction events. There are very low high -speed corners that reward peak downforce.

On paper, then, not a track on which RB21 thrives. Even Vastapane appeared ragged in the test.

They have a recipe for a screwhy lap in a car in all slow corners that snap from the undertoor to the overstir. All this combines a major challenge to the Sunoda as it will possibly punish the lack of its experience in RB21.

What he wants right now is stability, and he is unlikely to achieve it.
