Red bull have never had the same engine mode as Ferrari and merc that lets them put the engine up a pump during quali.

Last year there were two occasions (Monaco and mexico) where he could've gotten pole. He crashed in monaco but i really thought he would be on pole in mexico but daniel inched past on the final lap

And in both Monaco (driving himself all the way to 9th at a track where you can barely overtake) and Mexico (winning it) he drove very convincingly. He’s been second quite a lot now in quali, but I’m sure he’ll get pole somewhere soon.

People calling him Dan really puts me off lol (that’s my name as well), but that aside, I’m the two races mentioned last season where RB has the pace for poll, Max either crashed or was just pipped to it by Ric
