You’re quick to point out the flaws of other teams but fail to look inside the team you so rabidly support.
RB are doing everything to the best of their ability with the equipment and staff they have. Last I saw they weren't running around like headless chickens clutching tyres asking where the wheels went.
RB also hold the record for a sub-2 second four wheel change stop/go which you correctly state.

Think the Mercs "Magic" button/mode must be really like "Magic"
Of course! I heard it now ''make sure you have the MAGIC (button)?? off'' heheh what's all that about.
Any Merc insiders here want to let us know...there is one on here.

Yeah my friend. The Merc W11 is a kind of Magic ...
Is this "Merc Magic" also approved by the FIA ? Or is the FIA deaf ?

Except at Monaco which cost Ricciardo the win

"I got called in and the tyres weren't ready. I didn't make the call," Ricciardo said.
"The guys were running around like ducks, "

True it was ducks not chickens.

Four years is a time,everyone learns lessons and they should have sent Ricciardo out again then come in again to protect lead.

Except they still aren’t winning are they?

Again, you question Toto’s leadership - a guy who has lead a team to the top of F1 a number of years in a row, but you make excused for RB who continually come up short.

Obviously RB’s “best” as you state just isn’t good enough.

Plus the difference there was that the tyres weren't ready because of miscommunication at Monaco but in Sakhir the tyres were all mixed up when BOTH cars came in at once..

Merc has won both championships and Wolff's guard simply went to zero as having Russell for a race was low priority.

The tyres were mixed up at Sakhir because of a radio failure that affected part of the pit crew.

Red Bulls cock up at Monaco followed an incomprehensible pit strategy for Ricciardo at the previous race in Spain where they switched him during the race to a three stop strategy which cost him another win gifting it to Verstappen.

That was the time of the famous 'foot through the wall' from Ricciardo?
