"weather can affect, and it will still rain tomorrow. Max also has downforce "It's lower, so there are pros and cons to that. They are very fast on the straightaways, which means overtaking them is very difficult," he explained.

However, Red Bull had to pay the price by being slightly slower in some high-speed corners, so it's hard to tell... People can be fast and slow in different places, including Ferrari ."
