Is GP leaving immediately or is he finishing the season?

Only thing says "sometimes before 2028'

He has a Red Bull contract so depending on that language he can end up anywhere until then. He could also buy it out but RBR have been known to punish the employee (by way of hitting the other team) rather than let them out.

Like Fightin said, it says 2028 but I've seen numerous commentary stating garden leave.

I doubt RB would sack him as that would almost certainly mean Max calls it quits. Wiith everything else going on, then to lose your guy in the midst of things is a punch to the nuts.

McLaren taking a victory lap after their coup.

Miami also, I think this will be the first time F2 has run in North America. Will also prevent Herta from running the Indy 500 this year.

After his start he may want to consider abandoning his F2 career

4 laps of following followed by 5 laps of caution because some rich boy at the back sent it too hard in the hairpin.

Porsche Cup every year has some good racing. Just always gets ruined by a dentist shake and bakin' in turn 8/9.

Is this a way to get around the on track testing rules? What are the odds this car has the Honda F1 engine in it?

The Merc Project One had really strict rules on using the F1 engine. Had to be outside of a certain range.

Can they use similar parts? Sure.

Does all the data correlated have to be documented? Yes.

The audits for engine run time and data collection are apparently pretty hard to overcome.

No details yet, but coming out of the meetings, the FIA and F1 leadership are committed to implementing changes before Miami. Won't know what they possibly are until the next meeting on the 14th, then would have to be ratified by FIA

At least they have admitted they missed the mark and are willing to compromise although I’m sure they won’t go as far as the fans want.



They have a Red Bull on train tracks in Madrid, nobody seems to know why.

I mean, as heavy as that thing is in comparison to the other cars, it can probably operate as a locomotive

Cmon now, that’s an RB9 circa 2013 N/A V8.
That sound in a tunnel has got to be crazy.

Alonso claiming anyone on the team can drive the car now has given Mercedes an idea.

Saw Mika Hakkinen's daughter is joining F4 this year. She should have the name and backing part of the future F1 driver equation.
