#an irrational part of me so wants this car to be so glaringly illegally fast

[rickybaby]

Can’t wait to see what these “news” sites come up with once Red Bull rolls up to Suzuka with zeropods like it’s already obviously a completely different car than VCARB but then even casual fans should be able to perceive it with their own two eyes

Vcarb and Red Bull have been very open about the fact that the car will have the RB19 suspension. It’s not a secret that the car will look like the RB19 but so will most other cars on the grid. And the top 5 constructors will have unlocked far more performance over the winter break. The vcarb car will at most fight with the Alpines and maybe the Aston Martins to be in the points on a good weekend.

There’s no guarantee that just because the car will look like the RB19 that podiums are a sure thing.

This is my personal opinion, so it may be completely misguided, but I think that, despite the closer technical collaboration this year, vcarb as a second team is now more independent from the Red Bull apparatus than it has ever been before. It has two very important title sponsors to answer to, and I don’t think they’ll do anything ‘illegal’ that could potentially endanger that funding
