How can Red Bull change their rear wing between qualifying and the race every single race without penalty?
F1 2021 Season

Yes, made the remark yesterday it was too easy for Hamilton and joked he should probably start with 3 wheels to make it more even.
But mainly because they are racing Ferrari so need to protect the tyres who will most likely do the same.
Exactly that. Incomprehensible is an understatement.
And unsurprisingly, Christian Horner says because RB discovered it and asked for a change, it is completely different to the Mercedes rear wing problem.
And bear in mind that Mercedes have still not yet been given access to their wing which was impounded.
He sounds more like Boris Johnson every day and is becoming as big an embarrassment.
Red Bull and doing stuff like this is why I hope Max never wins a championship with them.
Bottas 
Bottas slightly useless again
Hamilton could be third in a few laps, interesting moves already
Needing Bottas to perform is like relying on Spurs for a resultBottas slightly useless again
Bottas gonna Bottas.
Verstappen has won the Championship him and that Red Bull has been on another level the second half of the season.

Lewis again flying
Other than RBR don’t think anyone wants to get in Lewis way today
Bottas being a poor driver has really harmed Mercedes this year. Can’t get away with it when there is another car as quick as them
Lewis up to fifth already
And third now
And third now
Hmmm. Initially I was going to say Bottas bottled it again but Sainz also had a bad start, maybe there was something about the sitting in the shadows of the grandstands.
2nd grid slot has been solid for starts all weekend, even in the support races.
Race on.
Would have been a great start for Lando that. McLaren needed that unfortunately. Ricciardo just not doing enough to support him in the constructors.
5 laps for Hamilton to be ahead of Bottas. Started 1st and 10th. Pathetic
Bottas honestly is one of the fastest shit drivers ever.
20th yesterday to third. It's insane
Fifth, wasn't it?
SC, perfect for Lewis
Safety Car
Safety car has made this interesting going to close the gap
Valteri didn't crash into Lewis there.
Tactical cat & mouse on the restart coming
Perez to back Lewis up then
This is really well put. It's bizarre, he can find some serious speed for a lap now and again, but he doesn't really have a racer's instincts.
If Hamilton clears Perez this is going to be tasty as feck.
Surely that needs a red flag, there's a lot of sweeping to be done
Great first few laps. Hamilton superb to be 3rd already. This safety car now will suit him absolutely perfectly. Shame for Lando but at least he can catch up now to the pack. Will be interesting once we restart racing.
Bottas should really get into Rally
Mercedes really need Bottas ahead of Perez shortly after this safety car restart, either coming into turn 4 or at the end of the lap.
Sorry yeah I'm getting confused and forgot the 5 place drop. It's actually 22 places he's made up, then?
Yeah that’s what Lewis has basically asked for over the radio
And yet he's ahead of the standings of Perez who's had a better car this year and probably better race strategy this year too considering the massive feck ups Mercedes have made all year.
Perez has been disappointing yes. I give him a bit of leeway based on it being his first year there and also the fact that the 2nd Red Bull seat is clearly cursed since Riccardio left.
Five position grid penalty on top of starting qualifying last… and Max now has Hamilton two places behind him with the bulk of the race to go.
Not how he thought it was going to go after the penalty

Well defended by Bottas vs LeClerc
OK this will be SC again
