Am I wrong to be questioning Red Bull and Max in particular for his never ending complaints about the Renault engine? They cant that bad given the team has three wins, and Max still has a spare serviceable engine he can use without penalty.
Well they're saying they already have a better relationship with Honda than Renault *eye roll*.

That has as much meaning as Danny not bagging Renault at all, despite all the DNFs, Renault issues or Red Bull issues.

And that is RBR (and Max also) doing a lot. They tend to forget they are a customer of Renault. And if they kept the shit inside and had worked together more with Renault, then the Renault employees would have done a step or two extra for RBR. Now they leave a half an hour before closing time. ;)

Renault’s doorstep has been used as the Red Bull latrine for nearly a decade now. It’s been said many times that even during Red Bull’s dominant period, they used to chastise Renault for reliability issues while never offering praise for the championship success.

Spot on. Even in the Vettel championship era they only drooled about Newey's chassis and completely ignored the engine part. It suits them they struggle with reliability now. I'm happy Dan is moving away from this bunch of narcisstic whiners.

It looks that praising the engine only was detrimental to the success of that product Red Bull. As if it had to be 100% Red Bull instead of 50% Red Bull 50% Renault.

Mercedes of Bottas (the wrong one), stalled right before the end of FP3. VSC.

Vettel fastest so far from Max, as Bottas suffers a hydraulic failure. He was told to stop the car. Interesting to see if they they get it sorted for qualy.

Max sets the pace - from Hamilton and Vettel.
CLAP was fastest with 10 minutes to go... he ended up 6th, behind Danny and Kimi.

Max has been fastest in every session, and must be favourite to take his first pole. (and become the youngest ever pole winner)

Toto Wolff was talking of an engine change for Bottas being likely. It will be a busy hour and a half in the Mercedes garage.

As I post that Danny Ric went fastest then Max broke into the 15's to go fastest. Both RBRs in the 15's
