Where did Red Bull-Honda's pace come from?
Though Red Bull and Honda have been getting better and better all year, the Brazilian Grand Prix was still a particularly significant - and in some ways, out of the blue - performance
I wonder what Mercedes might want the FIA technical department to clarify this week? With altitude at Interlagos coming into play, both the Ferrari and Honda power units had the edge. It wasn't a big advantage, but it was there.
Interlagos is a bit like Spa, in that the first and last sectors are all about straightline speed, while the middle sector is about car grip. In reality, there wasn't much in it either way between the top three teams, as far as top speeds or sector times were concerned. The three are well within the window of what's called set-up compromise.
