But like I said before redbull has been stagnant ever since 2013 (their last really cool break through was the exhaust blown diffuser stuff) in regards to massive game changing engineering developments, ever since then they have only been improving their car slowly but surely and nothing more. But they have not been like mercedes who constantly introduce ground breaking innovations. Like tbh I think the coolest thing to come from newey so far is the aston martin valkyre with the venturi tunnels under the car and f1 inspired suspension. Literally if the regulations didn't hold back merecedes we would likely have seen lap records that would be near impossible to ever break again with the new aero concept cars. Hopefully redbull can start to make cool things again next year, I do enjoy seeing engineering in action.

I’m fuzzy on that, are they developing their own or buying Honda’s PU essentially and using that as their engine going forward? |

So RB bought all of Honda's technology to their f1 pu, they will be designing and engineering their own engines in the years to come (post engine freeze). However for 2022-2025 or 2026 there is an engine freeze in place to help redbull prepare to make their own engines. This means the engines introduced next year will be the engines that are locked in for the next couple years - zero development or spec changes. So every team has one last chance to make a big push and then thats it. I believe honda will be helping redbull for the last time during the push for 2022 and then they are gone.

For the good of the sport, TPs need set a better example otherwise this will become housewives of F1.

Bottas PU experienced overheating and gearbox issues at Qatar. I believe that was the third race on that PU, so Merc may not get two races out of the rocket PU.

This seems to affect vb more than Lewis since vb cannot pass as easily as Lewis can. In terms of gearbox vb iirc has never gotten a new one so it's probably time, and that's why he's getting issues. Lewis and max got new gearboxes on Sept 24 on the Russian gp weekend. So Lewis should be fine in that regard too. Imo Lewis and his car and engine should be good to go for at the very minimum 2 more race weekends of full power "rocket ship mode" running.

What’s been pointed to as micro cracks in the block or any other issue is part of a now accelerated development phase to support increased power output before the freeze hence the many iterations despite penalties. The MB engine looks like it can output new found power, now they need to address reliability and longevity before being locked in at the freeze in a way not provided for in modifications for reliability. |

HAM's Turkish PU vs the Brazilian Rocket Grenade is +/- 80HP. The Million $ question is : From where the extra HP suddenly came from ... As we know HAM's ICE was replaced ,and suddenly HAM blew everyone away , that's why I'm pretty sure "something" didn't saw the daylight ... Of course HONDA an Red Bull have to find 0.5 sec. ASAP !

Max should never have had that grid penalty because of Fia incompetence.

So? Marko and Horner/any highly competitive people are like this. I’d rather have that than a too passive TP etc.
