Get a new race director in Vegas as well.

Wittich catching the axe this morning it seems.

Guess not a lot of people with Brazil and how it went down.

Being there are no specifics on those alleged disagreements I will hold off judgement. Could be, could just be wishful thinking that MBS somehow made this move.

Wittich certainly had his share of frickups this year with responses.

I love that Max likely doesn't give a shite about his driving partner, he's like don't care, I'll do it myself anyway.

Christian is just doing this to spite Marko right?


He's probably doing it because the $30 million Checo generates for the team outweighs whatever he thinks Checo might cost Red Bull in WCC prize money vs another driver.

It kind of seems like a win/win for Red Bull management. Max gets the WDC headlines to sell drinks. Checo ensures they get more wind tunnel time and brings in enough sponsorship money to justify his existence. Only seems like a loss for the people in the factory who get bonuses based on WCC standings. Maybe they'll use some of Checo's sponsorship money for that.

That’s cool. Didn’t realize we were so close last month when we went to Clarkson’s farm

Some tiny arse roads and fun driving for sure around there. Would have loved to been in an A110

Diddly squat farm shop to the Alpine headquarters is 8.5 miles. Jeremy considers them his home team. This is not the first time he’s shown up with beer after they podiumed.

Yesterday, Piastri posted pictures of driving a tractor on Clarkson's farm with Clarkson and Kaleb.

And Alpine will be Mercedes powered next year? 2026 is going to be so weird how all the new engine development plays out.

Monaco moved to June starting in 2026.

As long as they put another GP on Memorial Day weekend, I am fine with that...

Agreed, as long as it is not the same weekend as Le Mans.
