Hill thinks Red Bull has reserves: 'Looked almost too easy for Verstappen'

While Mercedes is taunted by balance sheet problems, Red Bull Racing seems to be going for it. Max Verstappen in particular came on strong on Friday in Bahrain. Damon Hill sees that too, who thinks the reigning World Champion could still have something up his sleeve.

While the other teams have largely solved the problems with porpoising, Mercedes is still plagued by the problem. Damon Hill calls the extent to which the team is affected by this "ridiculous" and wonders if the drivers can see anything at all through all the bouncing.

Hill thinks Red Bull has something left

The problems at Mercedes are a stark contrast to Red Bull Racing, where everything seems to be going well at the moment. Hill even thinks they have something left. "It all seems almost a little too easy for Max Verstappen," said the analyst on Sky Sports.

Hill therefore suspects that Red Bull has yet to show what it really has to offer. "Every time someone is fast, Max goes out on the track and comes to the front. For me, that's an indication that they have reserves," said the 1996 world champion.
