Re: 2023 Season Grand Prix Megathread

Interesting comments from Hamilton; he's insinuating that Red Bull have had to stop doing something with their DRS recently, nudging that the media should look into 🤔 I may be wrong but even still the DRS shouldn't have that influence on this track layout?

Anyway, good to see another team instead of Red Bull on pole. Not sure if the race result will change but should be a good battle. Considering that Max has been poor from starts on occasions this season, it should provide a tasty first corner scrap. For all the good the Hamilton result was, Mercedes like playing with fire with qualifying and sending their cars out. Poor Russell, team decision was poor as the car was fast enough to get into the later sessions

@Meza994As much as Hamilton is the master of spin, this is quite the accusation. Additionally, with all the teams coming with upgrades and new floors and philosophies, there doesn't seem to be another team that has imitated the Red Bull DRS.

Admittedly, I can just about get my head around how the system works but all the other teams would likely know how to copy it and get it working on their respective cars? It must have been discussed internally by all teams, and what worth would it be to throw shade on RB unless they had some evidence? I just find it interesting. RB haven't been as dominant in the last few races. It could even be the new tyre construction but there were reports of the new sidepods bringing two tenths of time this weekend?

As you said @Meza994 there are plenty of variables, it's fun to speculate (maybe I'm hoping there is truth to it so we can get some proper fights at the front).
