If that's the case, explain to me how the Red Bull car is 6 seconds a lap faster around Spa than the Caterham car, when they have exactly the same Renault engine and the same pirelli tires. Did Caterham forget to turn their engine into

Are you serious? When was the last time you watched a Formula 1 race? It was boring because there weren't any restrictions, and so the best teams were so far ahead the races just became a procession. That and the high downforce setups

My apologies! You are right. It's the Shooters and Fishers Party and the white nationalist Australia First Party they are preferencing above the Greens. It's the Sex Party that is preferencing One Nation.
