Although max did push ocon and call him a pussy in Brazil two years ago. To be fair ocon was a moron and he cost max the race by driving like a retard

Max has the personality of an old school driver. He’s a ferocious competitor, and he’s never going to apologize for it.

Reverse grid start getting a lot of talk now... Brawn had an article about it and F1 even posed the question to its official accounts.

How would a reverse grid work? Is there even a qualifying round?

I wouldn’t be opposed to starting opposite of how you finish the prior race. So if you finish 1 you start 20 the next race. If you were 5 you start 15, etc...

Of course, that is only due to the disparity right now. 20222 could change that, but who knows.

Topic all over F1 YouTube Vlogs...it is an interesting thought in how to make F1 more exciting...and I still don’t understand how it would work. Braun suggested the should had reverse grid at Monza for this year, but they couldn’t get everyone to agree with it. The topic is gaining momentum and look for it to happen for a few races next season.










Please, Pierre...don’t go back in the RB seat, he seems more relaxed with Alpha team. Poor Carlos, going to drive a dump truck next season...Lando is a star! I can not stand Stroll...his restart after the red flag shows why he is a shitty driver...he lucked into that podium (that tire change being allowed was bullshite).

The way it's been proposed so far is having a qualifying session, then reversing that for a qualifying sprint race, then using the finishing order of that race to set the grid for Sunday.

That’s seems easy to manipulate.

This is what would probably happen IMO...however, I think that's doing too much

Just reverse the grid based on the finish from the last race, turn qualifying into FP4 and have at it on Sunday

That removes any potential gains from teams sandbagging as teams want to maximize points each weekend and an extra FP gives the teams more opportunities to try out new upgrades in the track and out of the wind tunnel /sim

Perez leaving RP at end of season. That’s a shocker but given the article sounds like they are going after Vettel.

Not that shocking, it's been hinted that he was out for about a month now with the speculation that they intend to sign Vettel. I'm not really sure they're getting an upgrade in Vettel but with the team rebranding as Aston Martin next season he makes more sense from a marketing standpoint.

Haas seems like the logical landing spot for him, he's apparently raised even more money to bring to the table and I'm sure Haas can use the development funds.

Shows how much money Lawrence Stroll must be willing to fork up to make this happen, he's losing out on Sergio's financial backing, will have to cut him a nice fat check for terminating his contract early, and is giving their title sponsor BWT the boot.

Perez getting beat all year by Stroll makes this an easier decision, plus if Seb does come through it put Stroll learning for one of the greats.

I too think Perez lands at Haas. It would be the precursor to Carlos Slim buying a team for cheap and building the winner he has wanted.

You gotta think HAAS is in play for Checo... If he goes that route, you could probably add Alfa Romeo to that list... Kimi isnt getting any younger and Gio is flat out terrible, although I know Ferrari likes having an Italian driver under their wing

Checo brings good money and quality experience to any team that wants him, but with HAAS's recent sponsorship issues, that would be a solid match for both parties involved... well, minus the whole crappy car thing

HAAS could get away from Ferrari with new ownership willing to make the right investment. Could put another Honda powered team on the track, or maybe even Renault.

Exactly, I know they buy a ton of parts from Ferrari, not just power units, but maybe Sergio's money plus the crappy Ferrari power units is enough for them to start looking elsewhere. Renault would probably bend over backwards to get a customer team right now as they're losing Mclaren in 2021.

Look for Checo to replace Kimi. Sounds like Pierre wants another shot at RB with Albon being demoted...Kyvat could be replaced by Tomosi. What about Haas? would they move up Fidippaldi?
