To me Racey and max are no different than any other principal and number 1 driver.
I despised Flabio and Alonso at Renault. Not only was he team principal he was Alonsos agent. Different eras breed different villains. Its always been this way. The only driver I've consistently supported is Kimi because he is Kimi and gives zero fricks.

Really curious if RB says F it and takes new engine with grid penalty. Not sure if it’s too late but going 10 11 on this track and knowing you have to start 20 at some point as well, just take the hit here. Tough track to pass but you can probably still salvage points, especially if it rains.


There just isn't much worse tracks to take a grid penalty on than this one, I'm not sure if its worth it.

Racey Spice always reminds me of having a Cam Newton and his "ongoing investigation" smirk while talking

Im not sure Max would even take a grid penalty for taking a new engine this week. Not sure how many he has.

I would think this track would favor Ferrari the most, but it's known for eating up tyres with the summer heat and Ferrari has struggled in that aspect this year. Anyone know what the forecast is for tomorrow? I'm not sure what equates to hot for Europeans compared to US southerners.

Alonso would be winning races in a better car. He still has it.

What is Williams getting in exchange for Latifi riding around out there like an idiot?

$40 million in 2020. His father also owns 10% of McLaren

Don't have to pay for a driver and their finishing position wouldn't change much if they have Max or Lewis driving their shitboxes.

Disagree I think both of those guys would be pushing for points in the Williams.

Have to disagree. When VA Buckeye and I were in Barcelona, Christian and Zach were the two nicest people I came in contact with.

I can see that. Horner seems like a good dude who is just doing his job—politicking for his team—like anyone else would.

So, assuming they could get a legendary top driver, they would finish the year at 9th instead of 10th and have an $50MM swing to pay a top driver versus take a pay driver?

Lawrence Stroll summed it up, his son can win a world title if he gives him the best car on the grid. Winning the title without the best car on the grid is almost impossible.

In a perfect F1 world, as defined by yours truly, all teams would use the same chassis and PU, tires would not degrade enough to affect performance, and the driver with the best RACECRAFT would be crowned WORLD DRIVER CHAMPION.

But, money...

Enjoy this art piece of the venerable Ayerton Senna.

Well, Ferrari is trying awfully hard to prove that wrong by handing both championships on a platter to Red Bull.
