MODERATORS
The red bull pretty difficult to drive. It has pace but suffers from understeer and oversteer at different stages of corners, sometimes even in the same corner. If you are somehow able to dance on this knife edge, you can extract some good laps but for that one needs to be ridiculously talented and adaptable like max, fernando, lewis(the ferrari stint will determine our views on his adaptability), etc.
The fact is even max says he doesn't like the how the current red bull handles and struggles to keep it under control. Just imagine how hard it must be to handle for others
I think we can already make reasonable assessments about Hamilton's (lack of) adaptability from the last few years of Mercedes, can't we? He's clearly struggled with that car whenever it's not felt just the way he likes it.
Frankly, until last year, he was still outperforming russell in the races and in the championship positions
He looked better when the car was good, but worse when the car was bad. Which is kind of what I meant, he didn't seem as adaptable even though his ceiling in terms of race pace was higher than Russel's.
