We’ll see after tomorrow. RBR never really cared about qualifying and Leclerc got on pole several times last season without it doing him a whole lot of good in the race. Yes, the Ferrari looks to have better deg than last year, but Red Bull is in another stratosphere in that department anyway (at least from testing data).
Race Sims suggest Red Bull having a race pace advantage of 3-5 tenths, which is very substantial (especially with better deg). I am assuming Max will drive off into the sunset tomorrow (and the rest of the season).
Agree about the other teams though, and the fight for the third (and sometimes second, knowing Checo) podium spot should be tense and unpredictable.
