BBC Sport's F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your questions before this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.
Last year, Red Bull's Max Verstappen beat Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso to win a rain-affected race.
Stella and Brown were true to their word, and since then not only have McLaren been on an upward trajectory, but they seem to fully understand why. Red Bull were abundantly clear at the end of last season - Perez needed to improve his qualifying so he could be a more effective back-up to Verstappen. But if they decide not to, who do they take instead? Out of the top drivers, the only free agent is Carlos Sainz, who is leaving Ferrari at the end of this season to make way for Lewis Hamilton. But there was tension when he was team-mates with Verstappen at Toro Rosso when they were both rookies in 2015.
And it’s not as if it’s just in the venturi/ground effect cars that were introduced in 2022 - Ricciardo was decisively slower than Norris in 2021 as well. Does that mean he lost his mojo in his later years? Or that he was perhaps never quite as good as he looked in his Red Bull pomp? You decide. At the same time, of course Newey does not and cannot do everything himself, and he’s the first person to praise the people he works with. But it’s equally true to say that he provides a stardust that probably no-one else can.He felt put out that others were claiming credit for things he felt were very much his design - particularly the 2022 Red Bull.
