Red Bull: Unbullievable
Are they back? Based on the last four or so racing - yes they are!
The driver is there now. The car does the business and the engine has improved enough to not stop this. Do they need anymore? What do they need?
Soon Max will be destroying all in from him and no longer will F1 be boring because of Mercedes dominance, it will be boring because of Red Bull dominance.
Or will it?
We have a thread for all the teams except Red Bull, so I thought I'd complete the set. There is a Honda thread which has dealt with Red Bull, but also more generally.

I hope they are half front 
While it is true that the Honda propulsion unit in the back is doing a great job pushing the car towards success at the end of grand prix, it may not be Red Bull being back as being the only reason for the success.
The front and parts of the back drawn by that English fellow with the 2B pencil and set square may have contributed to this seemingly overlooked front as well.

Well they certainly seem more organised than Ferrari. And that means they've made the most of their opportunities presented to themselves. This is just what F1 needs at this time

I have a friend who works at RedBull and he’s saying Albon is there right now having a seat fitting.
2001/1 on William hill to win at Spa. Worth a fiver

Certainly I think the guy with pencil is the difference between Red Bull and the rest and agree a win at Spa, Max's home race, would be worth a punt so long as all the orange we will see does not dazzle him 
Looking forward to that one

It's not his home race. It's quite close to him, but not his home race. Max is Dutch, Spa is Belgian.
Next year - if Zandvoort goes ahead - he will have a home race.

Actually he’s Belgian on his mother’s side, so it can be classed as his home race

Yes - he's dual-nationality and was born in Belgium too, so in 2019 it's definitely his home race.

He has a Belgian mother, but he is Dutch.
He doesn't identify as Belgian, and apart from his mother there is nothing Belgian about Max himself.
You could as well call Lance Stroll Belgian since he has a Belgian mother too.
