Because it’s a seat in F1. A shitty seat, but a seat. Better than a F2, F3 or WEC seat. Probably even better than an Indy car seat and I say that as a Indy car fan.

I watched it on the high seas, but you can rent it most places.

To be honest, the movie outside of the race scenes is pretty dull. You may be better off just looking up the long race scenes on Youtube.

Yeah, but there aren't going to be any major dominos based off his retirement. None of the top drivers are going to AM.

Maybe a Sainz would jump at the opportunity, but you aren't getting anyone from RB, Merc, Mclaren, Ferrari going to AM.

On the otherhand, if Max jumps to another team, there will be dominos to fall.

No one is leaving those teams for any midfield teams voluntarily

It will give a rookie a spot to get in and show other teams what they can do, just like at other mid field teams.

HAAS will also have a new driver next year and it won’t be from the top teams

Piastri may be looking for a change of scenery.

Exactly, so no dominos will fall because of Alonso leaving.

Max would likely take a seat from Merc or Mclaren, then it would be on RB to take whomever he unseated or for one of the other majors to think they are getting an upgrade by dropping one of their people for the unseated individual.

Thought he was being linked to RB if Max left

If Max leaves.

Even then the move lately has been to promote from the junior team.

Not only do I not see the Union Jack inspiration, I would have probably told you they had run this livery all season.

It's there. It's just hidden underneath the 20kg of additional weight they're carrying.

People moving around is always dominoes falling

It doesn’t have to be stars. It could be another midfield driver which would cause even more movement

Not F1 related, but there was a terrorist attack in Monaco a little while ago. Apparently someone dropped off a bag with explosives at the doorstep of a Ukranian and his family.

I’d imagine none of the drivers with residences there were in town. I assume they went straight from Austria to England

Hell, I figure Monday Tuesday is like their weekend and they’d be home for sure right now.

Any other weekend you are probably right. Silverstone seems like a full week at the factory and promos.

Good point.

Article I read said some Ukrainian oligarchs and maybe their kid was targeted.
