Anti dive front suspension, first seen on a road car on the Jaguar V12 E type coupe and convertible.
So RB 21 has a form of this also and what I can understand is the McLaren one on Lando's car in Spielberg had the front rear-most upper wishbone placed back a substantial amount obviously meaning a completely different tub and set up.

Despite all the noise from the report that dropped last night, Max will come out and win pole and then win the race on Sunday. I think he is over all of the nonsense and will prove a point and put himself back in the hunt for a 5th straight drivers championship with consecutive wins to close out the first half of the season before the summer break!

It seems some press agents in one or two European newspapers know where MAX will be going without any comment from Red Bull themselves. Have they bugged MAX's phone...:lol:
As for Silverstone the RB 21 should go better here with their hq only a few miles away, well MAX's car anyway.

I feel like this track suits the mclarens still. They should have probably won last year.

Max gives no f at this point I could see another DNF/collision and further championship position drop here.
07-02-2025
^ I mentioned before MAX is an easy target lately but whoever targets him again to maybe indirectly action some transfer deal to benefit themselves had better think twice as if found to be vindictive or otherwise could mean super licence is revoked for the perpetrator.

If its only McLaren beating the 21 mostly what would be the point in a Merc. Worst case scenario for MAX in the case that if he did move would be if the RB 22 would be beating the MB 26 next year, there's no clear indication of a 'rocket' Merc PU except from a kid that crashed into MAX with a very strange and suspicious manoeuvre.
I've already started wearing my new 1 hat and top to prepare for the weekend.

Sainz and russell should start a team.

I'll take some pictures this weekend whilst I'm heading there and hope the weather stays sunny but not too hot.
