    I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can’t have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.

      If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower

      (I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)

        Wasn’t the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?

        Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.

          Ferrari was still struggling with it in the latter half of 2022
