Look, I’m definitely not writing off Red Bull just yet.
Sure, McLaren is looking lethal, and yeah, Ferrari has turned things around big time—and let's be real, they'll probably keep improving because, well, it's Ferrari.
But this track? It’s one of those rare layouts that just doesn't suit Red Bull—I doubt they're going to do much celebrating at Indianapolis either. I'm just saying, don't count them out; everyone is catching up, but Red Bull is still a force to be reckoned with.
To be blunt, my only real disappointment is Mercedes. And it’s not even that they’re the weakest of the bunch I mentioned... honestly, Michael Schumacher didn't disappoint me nearly as much as that catastrophic strategy did—and strategy is exactly where Brawn GP used to be untouchable.
I mean, it’s mind-boggling. You have Michael Schumacher starting 13th on HARD tires, carving through the field to hit third place after just a few laps while everyone else is pitting early... and then they pull the exact same move on him! It was obvious those tires could have lasted at least another 10 laps. Then, to top off the whole mess, they hand him the soft compound and make him run half the race on it, so he ends up bleeding positions. It's unbelievable... and from what I saw, Michael Schumacher actually had a shot at a massive result today.
It's just so uncharacteristic for Ross Brawn... and it isn't even the first time we've seen this kind of nonsense this season.
