    True. I also don’t know what was the RB’s plan for Max on a track where the only real overtaking opportunity is the Kemmel straight. Yet, they opted for a high downforce package.

      My only guess is that Redbull as well as McLaren both didn’t want to take any risks with their eyes on the constructors.
