I felt we had to discuss it. Ferrari never came up with claiming Mercedes were ahead only due to its engine. In contrary Red Bull said it millions of times they had the best chassis by far and it was Renault which destroyed their year. Helmut Marko said a few days ago Renault was still 60 (!!!!!) HP down on Mercedes.

 

I know Red Bull went for a very skinny low downforce setup, but I just can't believe that you can have such a competitive top speed if you had such a deficit in terms of power. Not to mention that even Mercedes used a new lowish downforce rear wing.

I find it really naughty from Red Bull to put all the blame on Renault all the time.
