Why Red Bull’s suddenly vulnerable in F1's car development war

Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin all introduced a significant number of upgrades at Imola and even McLaren, which brought a major package to the previous race in Miami, had some circuit-specific changes here.
Red Bull has just about kept itself on top through all that, but there are real signs of it starting to look more vulnerable - with McLaren so nearly making it two wins in a row.

When Redbull needs Perez the most, he always disappears
-
Monaco quali is going to be interesting
-
Aston Martin was the disappointment of the weekend imo
-
The last time I was this early The Race actually liked Daniel Ricciardo
-
I think the most exciting part is 2025. The cars will be almost identical in terms of the base cars as all focus will be on 2026. A clean state is what McLaren need now with this current package.
-
The 2024 RB sounds like the 2018 Mercedes. Unbelievably quick when dialled in, but takes a lot of time to get dialled in. Without that time and car knowledge they are fighting the car for lap time.
-
Lando vs Max battles are going to be a lot of fun to watch if this keeps happening 🤞🏼
-
Just imagine if Checo and Stroll were teammates in Red Bull and how teams like McLaren and Ferrari would pounce on them. That is the difference a driver like Max makes in this situation.
-
Horner told Channel 4 (after qualifying) that Seb Buemi and the engineers at MK worked on the simulator overnight, and that helped with the stability etc. I didn't even know Buemi was still with them given his WEC committments. Anyway, Horner was determined to give credit where it was due. Without the simulator work (and, of course, the work into the small hours of those deciphering the data - and then those at the race putting it all into place in time), even Max's brilliance might not have been enough. I know that drivers and managers are often keen to thank everyone at the factory, but this time he seemed to be especially grateful!
-
In Andreas Stella we trust 🙏
-
Max should be happy that his substandard car this weekend gave him the opportunity to remind us that he really is a good driver.
-
Max earned a DoTD vote from me today, it's a rare thing, but he really did have to put in a performance for that one, for a change.
-
If in 2018 u told me McLaren would be a top team again & Mercedes would be midfield team I would've laughed in your face
-
Honestly, if Checo continues to underperform and , Mclaren and Ferrari continue at their current rate of progress, we could see a three way fight for the constructor's title.
-
We might end up with a title fight in 2025 if this keeps on 👀
-
Still a masterclass by max, but the race would never admit that
-
The car may be vulnerable - but the driver still isn't...
-
I think no one has really talked about is the Red Bull has not been very good when the temperature is hot. They dominated Bahrain, Saudi, China, and Japan because of cooler temperatures. Australia was tough to judge because Verstappen was out after lap 2. But Perez has struggled mightily in Australia, Miami, and Imola.
-
I liked the mood in the cool down room, these guys really know each other well and like and respect each other too - sportsmanshipp at its best, fight as hard as you can and in a way you can still joke together after the race...
-
Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Haas, Visa Cash App RB, Stake, Williams, Alpine dominance might start to bore fans.
