Plus: What does AlphaTauri do with three drivers and two seats?

Red Bull were not only way off the pace at Singapore but they’ve only had one pole in five races now. Despite the fact they were clearly quite easy winners in most of those races still, but have they lost a lot of their advantage now? Do you think we will get to see more different winners in the last seven races? — Mark B.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still winning the last few races of the season. I think Singapore gave us the chance and we just did well. But I still think the Red Bull is going to be up there in the remainder of the season and they’re going to be very, very, very, very difficult to beat,” Sainz said Sunday.

How much did the tightening of regulations on flexi-wings contribute to Red Bull’s relatively poor performance? Consequently, will we see closer racing again between the top teams at Suzuka? – Tyrone D. To see Red Bull’s performance take such a dip at the first race the TD came into force naturally caused some links to be made. But the team was adamant it had not impacted the way it ran the RB19 car, with Christian Horner saying after the race there had been “zero” changes to the operation of components.The truer test of the TD’s impact on the competitive order will come this weekend at Suzuka.

As for why no one else jumped into his car, it boils down to the rules and regulations. Whichever driver qualifies the car must race it, meaning neither of Aston Martin’s reserve drivers, Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne, could have stepped in as Stroll took part in qualifying. –Wasn’t there always the risk that Lando Norris could pass Sainz with DRS? Was Sainz comfortable keeping Lando so close because they were on the same tire life? — Gabriel G.
