Ferrari And McLaren’s Strength Is Red Bulls Weakness

Ferrari And McLaren’s Strength Is Red Bulls Weakness
Charles Leclerc has finally broken the curse and Ferrari now have 2 wins and we have 4 different race winners! Red Bull has an inherent problem that is plaguing the Rb20 and holding back there true pace from race to race. The Ferrari sf24 has proven it can fight red bull and so can McLaren. So is the title battle truly on?

WCC is 100% on the table. WDC...I think we need to wait a few more races to jump on that bandwagon.

[@dylanburston7453]

Agree, but it is possible. A good chunk of the tracks require kerb riding, including 4/5 of the upcoming races to various extents. And with Ferrari and Mclaren being within a tenth, those kerbs, tho not to the same extent as monaco, could make all the differnece. And R&D will play a big role. Apparently Ferrari have a relativly large package coming to silverstone

I agree which makes it the more baffling to me that RB is seemingly not considering changing their second driver. I actually think there is a great chance Ferrari or Mclaren can take the WCC.

Track to track performance is a season long series of compromises, and whichever basic design along with targeted, strategic upgrades navigates those compromises the best SHOULD become Champion.

I don't know how many times at the beginning of the season we were told that this was going to be the most boring season in history, with one driver winning them all. Well, after only eight races we now look at the scoreboard and we have two contenders, perhaps even three. And there are 16 races left. Personally I think 2024 will go down in history as a grand cru. All the ingredients are there: incessant upgrades, unexpected breakdowns, stunning accidents, medical emergencies, damaging controversies, spectacular transfers, staff drama, and to top it all off a glorious fairy tale. I cannot legitimately ask for more.

The next few races could be telling. Canada has bumps which RB don’t like, unpredictable weather and a long straight so you can overtake. Spain is where McLaren could cook as they were supposed to do last year if they had the upgrades and their tyre wear is solid. Austria has long straights and 3 DRS zones either plenty of slipstream so McLaren can do very well there as well as Ferrari. Red Bull might not have it easy in the next few races

[@abnfalcon3901]

As an Engineer, I think the main concerning point regarding RedBull would be its Suspension Geometry, Particularly at the Rear. We know that RedBull and Mclaren both have same suspension yet RedBull is struggling to even touch the kerbs while Mclaren is riding them nicely. RedBull have hugely updated their suspension geometry over the years which aided them in tyre wear and porpoising but this year they might have downgraded it in order to gain some aerodynamics gains. We can see a clear difference between RB19 and RB20 Sidepods with RB20 adopting the "Waterslide" Style shape like AM and Mclaren and Redesigning whole rear Engine cover / Coke Bottle area for it. I think they still are pretty good at conventional circuits but we have to see what they come up with for bumpy tracks next.

[@Scronx-mc3uj]

they copied the abandonded idea of mercedes w14 with minimilastic sidepods,the engine cover and some similar traits. Mercedes design seemed well on the simulators but was really bad on track and same can be said with rb20. Max has been complaining about loosing the rear with no grip which was the similar problem with the mercedes w14. This rb20 isn't anywhere near stable as the rb19 was and actually has lost much of the stable characteristics. Not to mention that the rest of the field has caught up to redbull too. We had a bad ferrari, a slow mclaren and a broken mercedes concept last year which is not the case this time

[@optyfen5276]

But is it actually a suspension problem or is it an aero problem which therefore compromises the suspension they have to run? With suspension being relatively simple these days I reckon it's a trade off between McLaren being more balanced of a car and the RB being better on tracks they strive which is also the majority of the calendar.

[@Scronx-mc3uj]

@@optyfen5276 problem with both. The aerodynamic platform of the rb requires to run at low ride height with a very stiff suspension. This makes the car faster in high speed corners but a lot worse with kerbs, bumps and low speed corners

[@BrianBoulter-g7w]

@@Scronx-mc3uj The current Red Bull sidepods have nothing to do with the Merc zero pod concept… which didn’t have any noticeable aggressive undercut. Mercs problems with those cars were largely suspension related (which you can’t test properly in a windtunnel) and that the zero pod gave them less floor area (which was also structurally weaker)

[@optyfen5276]

@@Scronx-mc3uj Yeah but what you describe is an aero "problem," at least it is on a circuit such as Monaco. And not so much a suspension problem, the suspension in this case is less important and therefore it is the suspension that get's compromised so the aero works. Otherwise they would run soft and have no trouble with kerbs and bumps. Especially if people say that McLaren have the same suspension philosophy as RB it therefore would be very interesting if McLaren is able to make it work with relative easy suspension rules these days and RB not.

It is the dream of 19 drivers to dislodge Max from the top. True, the RB 20 has some inherent weakness that is exposed at certain tracks but I doubt that it is big enough for others to write off Max and his car. Every time he is down, Max has come out fighting. I don't think either Lando or Charles will be able to repeat their P1 finishes in too many races to overtake Max. It has thrown the doors open for a great season of seesawing fortunes but I doubt Max will allow anyone to take his 4th 🏆 away.

I think the Red Bull is still very fast but extremely difficult to setup.

The rb20 seems to be a very unstable car. Last years rb19 was stable and had grip. Max can be seen multiple times complaining about loosing the rear end of the car with no grip. Rb took inspiration from mercedes w14 which was really good on simulator but failed to produce results on track and same thing can be seen with rb. Rb doesnt ride well on kerbs and bumpy tracks and has a stiff suspension for that low ride height and that aerodynamic platform. Max will still win by like 10 seconds but we may be up for a constructors championship. Not to mention that ferrari,mclaren has also caught up with mercedes slowly building on the stable platform of the w15.

I so badly want to see a competitive grands Prix again. I watched the entire Indy 500 this year and I have to say that these drivers are everything the equal of the F1 grid. The Indy 500 was riveting, down to the last lap with any of 4 - 5 drivers with a solid shot at a win. F1 used to be like this, even in doninant streaks. Yes, even in domminant streaks, we had races, more often than not, where the winner was still decided in the last stint of the race - think here back to the Senna / Prost years, think also Schumi (early) and part of the LH period, I say part, the first 3. Vettel was almost unbeatable, Verstappen also. This kind of domination, as I understand, does not occur in Indy and this is because Indy do not want it, it is bad for the sport !! F1 don't seem to have learnt this !! Part of the problem at present is the cost cap. I think the cost cap, although justified, goes too far , as it stands now, as it is killing innovation - all the cars look almost the same - except fot the ever diminishing colours. Indy 500 - 33 cars each with their own sponsors and colours, 13 teams and even some composite teams. F1 needs to leann some lessons from Indy ...... to be truly the pinacle of the sport.

The Honda engine has subtly taken another step-up this year. Just look at how good VCARB is compared to the Merc and Ferrari customer teams (especially in qualifying). So Red Bull's straight-line speed should make up for any weakness in the corners. Suzuka is probably the closest track to Montreal, so I reckon RB is favourites. Plus not a lot of tyre deg at Montreal, so Norris is unlikely to pull closer at the end of the race. (unless he goes for a major undercut)

Let's be honest, the WCC belongs to Ferrari. In a season of such equality, they and McLaren have something that Red Bull lacks; two drivers. I appreciate Checo, but he can't continue on the team. Personally, I would like to see Yuki in Red Bull, his adaptation could be difficult and raise doubts, but I think he could end up being a more than suitable pilot. As for the WDC, although the points difference is not too much, we should not ignore Max's DNF in Australia. Plus, realistically, it takes more than just a car as fast/slightly faster to beat Max, just look at what happened in 2021. Regarding the cars, as a Red Bull fan I am somewhat disappointed (although it is undeniable that this equality makes everything much more interesting) since, despite the undeniable improvement of McLaren and Ferrari, I think that in Milton Keynes they have dropped the ball massively. They were able to start development of the 2024 car before anyone else, and yet they have created a car that is worse in every way. True, it has improved slow cornering and traction, but kerb/bump riding, the RB19's biggest weakness, is now even worse. It remains competitive in medium, fast corners, straight line speed and aero efficiency, but on certain occasions they are surpassed in some of these aspects. The car overall is still good, but it's no longer great at anything. Furthermore, its tire management is not too good, the front axle is weak, the balance poor, and the operating window, minuscule. I was expecting a car with a smaller overall advantage (3-4 tenths) but more versatile, and none of that. Lately, they are dedicating their FP sessions to making the car drivable instead of seeking performance, and that is hindering them. It's good for the championship, but I hope they soon solve some of their problems and be clearly ahead again (at least 2-3 tenths). I think they'll still be comfortably ahead on normal tracks BTW. Awesome job mate!

[@Mike.Mendes]

Have the kerbs at tracks changed from 23 to 24? and will they change any other kerbing at tracks to come in 24? i know it sounds like a conspiracy, but I'd interested to know if kerbs have been changed at tracks to indirectly hinder the performance of the Red Bull so that there will be more competition in F1 and the organizers of the sport can keep it more interesting. It's sounds crazy but when a team is dominating so much, I'm sure they think of subtle ways to narrow competition. I remember in 2021 when they changed the rear floor regulations and it apparently benefited cars with a higher rake and Toto made comments about how it benefitted the Red Bull car back then and it bought Mercedes and Red Bull closer that season, and in the end Red Bull came out on top that season.

If Ferrari is preferred to have a strong front end - this won’t bow well with Lewis driving style as he prefers the rears to be strong

[@kelvinchege2713]

The W14 had a strong front end and still managed to finish third

[@QuotidianStupidity]

It looks like we will have a fun year next year, just like we did with Max and Lewis at the end of the last regs. Hopefully they don't go a F**K it up by changing them too much, meaning we will likely get someone else dominating.

[@beany1987]

Spain and canada will tell us if ferrari and mclaren can challenge red bull, i think they will still be ahead, but those 2 teams will be a lot closer and will pick up any mistakes coming from red bull.

[@nerexxnerexx9012]

i agree with everything you said but to say that barcelona will be a close race is a far stretch for me to be honest . spain ;silverstone are and probably will be redbull territory because these tracks are just made for the RB20. i think redbull willl now think twice about the development of their RB21 and what route to take now that they know what they sacrificed for a little bit of improved slow speed cornering

[@F1Unchained]

The reason why is because graining could really effect that race

[@danielvilliers612]

Mclaren was really good in Barcelona in that tractor of a car the Mclaren was before Autria last years, Lando qualified third only for his race to be ruined with his front wing damage during start with Lewis. In Silverstone with the upgrade Mclaren was also mighty strong with lando leading for some laps and finishing second not so far from Max.

[@gabriele5719]

Well, no…Imola’s deciding factor was Hulkemberg trailing Max at the beginning of that quali run in Q3. Without starting from the pole, Imola would have gone to Lando 99.99%

No one can convince me that Red Bull suddenly struggling literally right as Newey left is not a coincidence

[@Umar-gw6fy]

Mclaren will be much closer to redbull on conventional tracks compared to ferrari but ferrari will be faster than redbull on street circuits due to their ability to take curbs and bumps better

[@madjoubah6549]

Lets see if the Ferrari upgrades have shown their full potential. After the race in Silverstone everything will be clear .

[@gershwinmutueel5653]

Like I said before. Monaco is a catwalk/Passarella for the F1 Cars. Basically an auto-show for the rich and famous. It is definitely not a race track.....very very boring for die hard racing fans. Something has to be done about this track or the car must become smaller...

[@DonKJB]

Cost Cap will bite RB20 after Monaco. It puts them under more pressure which could end in more underperformance.

[@hectornecromancer5308]

Interestingly. FIA doesn't even need to intervene at all

[@jkbzz]

honestly i had this season written off as i felt Max's name was already on the trophy. so happy Ferrari and McLaren have been up there. WCC is a toss up and i'd love Ferrari to win it. WDC it remains to be seen really, that is Max's title to lose as i feel the RBR is going to be strong on a lot of circuits.

[@Simracingisgoated]

Leclerc has 138 to Max’s 169. Few wins will put him in contention.

Newey is not the big guy, he's a part of a team of people. If he'd designed 100% of the car I might agree, but he didn't.

It ha been 3 very different circuit now where the Mclaren has been very very good. I think the biggest test will be Canada for the strength of the three cars. By that time Mclaren and Ferrari will have enough data to know enough of their cars.

The Red Bull in Canada will make up so much time in the third sector. I am curious, however, to see how it rides in the final hairpin and chicane.

Why, because at least the Mclaren has become very fast in straight line speed since the upgrade. They went from last to some of the fastest like in Miami.

I think Perez will shit the bed again, and because of that Verstappen might get the title, but Ferrari might take the constructors. And even so, they will not try Tsunoda in the red bull. I'd love to see tsunoda in the red bull, and then Lawson vs Perez in the VCarbs even if for two races, that way we would be able to stack them up a lot better.

So given we know now what RB has been struggling with and it causing them to not be the fastest in some races can we finally give credit to Max for always being in the fight regardless?

I must agree - Ferrari currently has the best driver pair - will be interesting having Hamilton at Ferrari in his ability to build the team though
