I think 2-3 races from now we're gonna see RBR come to the front as they unwind their recent upgrade packages.

Safe to assume they’ll be shite again in Singapore this year?

So, if Lando drives aggressively in that corner and Oscar’s lunge causes a wreck, who gets blamed? Pretty sure that if there was an incident it was Oscar’s fault, he just got bailed out because Lando wanted to avoid a collision with his teammate.

If it was Max/Lewis in 2021 style driving and absolutely a wreck

Who knows... But Zach is doing nothing to stop them racing each other.

Just saw an interview with him post-Monza and he said "thats what happens when you have two number 1s"

If that is their setup, then let them race and only order swaps if the team screws up.

I've always been a believer of if they are both competitive, let them race as long as it doesn't become destructive to the equipment. This isn't a situation like RBR has where one driver is clearly head and heels better than the other. In a situation like that, you 100% make sure the arse know its place as a support car.

I'm a newbie fan to F1, and to this concept of team racing. I'm not fanboy of any team or any driver.

I like seeing RB and Max struggle a little, after watching him dominate last year, and the first half of this year. Races are much more fun to watch when there's a race for P1. I'm almost always pulling for who's in second, or the guy in the back.

One step further, it's more fun for me to watch the struggle between team mates. Good racing is about drama. More is better.

Even now, you guys arguing about it is good for the sport.

If Checo was good, we could've been watching this last year too.



Go Oscar!! (for now)

Sounds like Weak Neck is going to be sitting in for Magnussen at Baku.

All he needs to do is put it in the wall in FP1 and he's got a seat for next year

Newey to AM for 2025.... Its going down

Sky Sports News understands that Newey will earn $26m a year (£19.8m) at Aston Martin and is expected to start in March 2025.

Aston Martin did not comment when approached by Sky Sports News.

Thanks for the updates, I hope that’s the case if only for the clickbait articles to be behind us.
See if he’s still got it.

Like someone earlier posted, you'd have to imagine that Newey was told that Stroll won't be there in 26'... Maybe the Max to AM is true.


I think Max screwed the pooch by not signing with Merc for next year.

He'll probably be the most expensive staff member of any sports team on the planet.

That would be interesting, but 45 year old Alonso winning a title would be a much cooler storyline.

I know I've hammered this already, but if RBR doesn't remove him from the Supercar project immediately, they are the biggest pussies in all of motorsports.

If they can't fire him because of EU or UK labor laws, his only job in Milton Keyes should be cleaning toilets in a different campus from the supercar development

I wonder if Lance has improved enough (or not crashed enough) to maintain his dad's confidence?

He could argue that he's only 1 place behind Alonso in the WDC. (50 vs 24 points)
