Is it just me, or Red Bull's attitude, impatience and intolerant to deficient Renault leaves a bad taste how they deal with suppliers in low times.

Just two years ago they were winning races, now they pointing fingers at Renault. And threatening to quit F1. Kinda lose my respect in recent months.

I just saw the footage of ALonso's radio communication.

I know it is long way for McLaren-Honda, but at least Honda needs to step up 10 notches in order to be somewhat competitive.

Exactly what I've been thinking, they are fkn whiners. They won 4 years in a row, now they are in a unfortunate situation and all they're doing is complaining.

If Ferrari isn't bitching, Red Bull definitely shouldn't be bitching. Ferrari has a lot more pressure from fans, to win. Hardly anyone would care if Red Bull leaves F1.

But Ferrari is in a bit of different situation. If they whine and bitch and pointing fingers at their "engine supplier", its their own Ferrari. So the structure, compare to Red Bull - Renault, is different.

However, they are in low times, they've been there, remember how they started from Jaguar. They were not competitive back then, but they had the heart and ambition to win. When they win, they won in style.

But now, they seem to lost its way. They've forgotten why they race. Their suppliers (or should call partners), is their closest allies. Work with them, keep both heads down and fight together. Whining is not helping the situation.

Renault also knows and I don't think they feel any better than Red Bull.

Lol obviously if Ferrari points fingers it won't be at themselves, it'll be more towards regulations, etc.. The point I was making is that "pointing fingers" shouldn't even be happening, no matter who it's towards.

Imagine if Red Bull was around when Michael was with Ferrari lol.

This year's race was a bit of a sleeper but we made up for it with FIA passes giving me access like I've never had before in 26 years of attending this GP.
