Verstappen and Degradation: Setup Ceiling or Temporary Dip?

Community Breakdown

Red Bull's pace profile has looked less stable across full stints in recent weekends.

Opening question: Is this mostly a setup-window challenge, or evidence of deeper car balance limitations?

Looks like a setup window problem to me. The car is still fast, but less forgiving over full race distance.

Could be linked to balance shifts with wind changes. We saw similar signs in qualifying trim too.

If they solve rear stability on entry, the degradation conversation may disappear quickly.
