Thanks for the response. What happened to Mercedes for them not to be as dominant?
New regulations meant they had to change their car so they built a bouncy castle instead.

Red Bull overspent by around £2m against an £8m pa R&D budget, so no one else could compete against that.Thanks for the response. What happened to Mercedes for them not to be as dominant?

TM did it better...Put better than me!
He and Leclerc have been non-entities in this race despite being 3 and 4, absolutely nowt going on for either of them.I am currently on board with Lewis, I mean not literally but just pics, nice coz there is no commentary.
No other cars around him either. It’s like he is the only car on track.

What on Earth is the “last lap Hamilton”?
God that idiot talks total crap at times
Right so overspent by £1.8m, which I rounded to £2m. If they kept within the cost cap, they would have had to spend £1.8m less, probably on development as everything else will have already been minimised. That’s how overspending works mate"The FIA announced Red Bull had breached last year's $145 million cost cap in early October before issuing a penalty later in the same month. Red Bull, which overspent by 1.6 percent, was fined $7 million and will have a 10 percent reduction in its aerodynamic testing allowance for 12 months."
The FIA’s ruling detailed a number of areas where Red Bull had wrongly excluded costs, which led to an overspend of £1.8m.
One of these was catering, which emerged as one of the areas that had been interpreted differently when news first broke out that Red Bull may have breached the budget cap.
Speaking on Friday in Mexico, Red Bull team boss Horner acknowledged that “a lot has been made” about the catering allowance, joking that it had been suggested “we gave our staff too much food this year.”
He went on to explain that Red Bull thought catering costs were excluded from the budget cap as it is a company-wide benefit and not something solely related to the F1 team.
“Catering within Red Bull has always been a benefit that’s been provided by the group, a benefit of working within the Red Bull group that free food and beverage has always been provided,” said Horner.
“Therefore, as something as a Red Bull policy, we viewed it as something of an excluded cost. Aggressive, but we felt acceptable.
“The FIA took a different viewpoint on that, and said that food was not excludable. Fair enough. But what was included was the entire catering bill of our entire company, so £1.4m worth of food, drink, coffees.
“Red Bull Powertrains had nothing to do with Red Bull Racing until this year, and their costs are included. So a difference of opinion on how that was applied.”
But sure your's sounds better!
And gets it wrong every race without fail tooHe’s a knacker like. Every race he explains how drs and under/overcut works. Every race without fail. Me sat nav repeats itself less.
And how they tell him that he needs to finish 20 seconds behindHope Perez goes off it during the interviews telling us how Red Bull tell him to miss the apex of corners when Max is behind.
Not quite. Midfield was very racey, but as we say time and again no one remembers who comes second. Williams and Alpine putting a lot of moves in...Worse than even the last race. Nothing happened after the first lap
Only won because Red Bull told Perez to drive like shit. Obvs.Fantastic that from the reigning champ. Beautiful to watch.
