Checo seems like a good dude, but def couldn't support Max the way he needed to. Although, Max didn't really need it. Hadj seems to be getting his legs under him and could set up Max nicely for next year.


I’m still aggravated with him for the Sainz collision in Baku his last year.

I’m sure he’s fine though.
His performance fell off a cliff compared to Max in his last stint with Red Bull, but whose hasn’t?

Herta or Bottas might not be the answer either. Maybe Caddy has a path for where they want to be with each driver step.


What if Lawson is available? He has shown a lot of quality this year

I think Lawson has earned the right to stay in F1 for now. Would be in his best interest to find another team as soon as possible tho.

There seems to be an online push to vote Lance Stroll as driver of the day this weekend.

Lawson is consistently the best of the rest. He seems like a good driver.

Would love to have Lawson at Cadillac, and I agree, he needs a new team.

And if Stroll wins driver of the day after the inevitable DNF

The result? Heavy superclipping on the following straight, costing him speed and even affecting his braking.

The explanation reportedly came directly from Russell’s race engineer, Marcus Dudley.

Being faster through the corners actually made him slower over the lap.

Welcome to 2026 Formula 1.

Which is so fricking stupid in general but should be a known quantity by now and should be able to be driven around if the driver is prepared right?

He should have absolutely been able to drive around that limitation. Especially when your teammate slaps it on pole and you can look at his data. Race engineer was probably begging him to slow down and recharge.

Checo was tearing up the streets of Mexico City. Question is what car Is he driving? Cadillac doesn’t have years worth of old cars. Can they even program and set up one of these new cars for donuts?

Before joining F1 they tested a previous gen Ferrari.

Looking at the vents that makes me think that is what this is.

Sounds like Max may not be long for F1 nonetheless... He's said he wanted to do other things and didn't see himself driving into his mid-late 30's. This will only expedite his exit.

Sound like lower back disc degeneration

Max Verstappen has revealed worrying scan results as he opened up about the physical toll Formula 1 has taken on his body.

The four-time world champion has detailed the pain he continues to endure during race weekends, admitting he takes medication to cope with the discomfort.

Verstappen revealed that scans carried out after years of problems with his feet uncovered concerning issues with the discs in his lower back, while the severe bumps at certain circuits have only added to his struggles.

Not until this afternoon here in Central time zone. That’s a little early.

Crazy to hear about Max’s issue. Hope he does what’s best for him.

Hopefully Max doesn't become a pill junky. I say that half jokingly. It can be a slippery slope.

The injuries would also put a damper on a GT career. I can't imagine going around the Nord in an AMG with a racing suspension for hours on end would make things any better. At least those seats have some cushion compared to F1 carbon fiber buckets. You're also more upright.

Max has made numerous comments about F1 being about battery management / energy recovery and not about driving the car flat out,
