I read the above issue is why he couldn't catch up to Botas or match his performance in the race, but it does look like this season should give us closer racing then previous seasons. Max looked really strong in the Red Bull as it seems so far Honda have delivered on their promises McLaren must be gutted about now that they switched. I never got why Ricciardo switched and think he may have done an Alonso and shot himself in the foot, anyway looking forward to the next race and the whole season.
