Not saying you're wrong, but this is more of a response to the original comment you referenced. Hamilton is better suited to be used as one of many faces representing Mercedes-Benz. Not sure if Max being the face of Red Bull really translates to any of it's other subsidiaries outside of Red Bull Racing and RB Formula One Team (Scuderia AlphaTauri).

Great cars - good driving - dubious individuals ...

You can see it as an elbow punch in Wolff's face !

Their front wing is in question element wise and now this single into double wishbone configuration looks against the rules to me.

Why do F1,cars use whitewall tires. I thought those went out with American made land yachts in the late ‘90s.

Interesting.

Aston blurred the diffuser in recent videos.

I would imagine to brighten up the wheel package because of the mediocre aero wheel trim.

The storyline is a bit gimicky, but RBR made a drone that can keep up with an F1 car and film it.
The drone footage is pretty awesome though.

Thanks for posting. I think it's cool. The drone tech could be especially useful during rule infringement disputes - IF similar technology is adopted by F1 and the media. To quote Max, "this can change how people watch Formula 1".
