What is happening to RB?
People looking for opportunities in other teams, people looking to retire, new challenges etc. Resulting lack of leadership in design direction leading to what could be conflicting strategies which are complex to detect. The F1 budget and aero handicaps are working as intended.
Oh, and Jos.

It felt like their lead dissolved mid season though. Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention...

It's well documented that Jos & Horner don't get on. It's hard to see Max staying at Red Bull next year now, given that his relationship with Horner is also quite strained. I base that view on that buddy of mine's brother works at Red Bull and says that there is no way that both Horner & Max can continue together at Red Bull and it's not because of either of them, it's because of Jos. And he thinks that they will choose Horner over Max.
Chris Evans was on the radio saying that it's no co-incidence that Red Bull fell off the pace when Newey left as he was the clear influencer in the car's pace. I'm not 100% sure I agree with that (as I really don't know enough about the upgrades etc) but it's pretty seismic that they've lost the lead in the constructors from where they were.
I didn't see the GP yesterday unfortunatly as it seems like I missed the best one of the year. Did watch qualifying though and the course looked an absolute mare.

Side note, and this is really pathetic on my part, but but I've warmed to Max recently.
First race back after the summer break, they showed all the drivers arriving to the race. There was the usual garb from many wearing outlandish shit, although George Russell was clearly the worst. Looked like an absolute penis.
Max & Carlos Sainz were the winners. Jeans, backpack, team shirt, cap. All business.
Sad, I know, but put them up in my esteem.

Don’t like verstappen. Every team message during the race is him having a whinge.

Yes he does come across was a whiny bitch. Not a surprise that he has teamed up with Horner who is cut from the same cloth.
