They are pay drivers competing against lesser talent. It's the same issue the W series had.

I'm fine with promoting women drivers as a means to grow the sport. Just having a pink car does that.

Bad racing is bad racing though. There is a reason women serious about their racing careers are hesitant to participate.

Without looking at numbers I don’t think Kazakstahn is a huge producer anyway.

You should look at the numbers.

You see driver after driver getting churned out at RBR, see one of the greats working his arse off to stay close, and want to sign up for that?

Nah, leave me at Merc to figure out a car I can at least drive.

not sure Lando could have rebounded from the lap 1 incident the way Oscar did.

The guy who went from 10 to 4 wouldn't have responded the same as the guy who just rode in P2 until P1 was given to him?

I like Piastri, but all he needed to do today was wait until he was given P1. No one really passed on track when it mattered.

Oscar may very well win this teammate battle, but people are acting like he is running away with this battle and he barely snuck ahead this round.

I don't remember the meat in the poboys being well seared. Always seemed more of a Philly cheesesteak finish than a seared steak. For the poboys. Cubed chunks of steak and not sliced.

How many years to "drive the wheels off" 3 of them?

Lawrence knows that they don't really have a shot unless they have the fastest car.

Until they build a car capable of winning the title there is no pressure to put the problem on the drivers.

If Aston hit 2026 with the fastest car and the driver is the issue he will be forced to act.

Part of the budget they submit at the end of the year even though it doesn't go against cost cap. Believe it is also filed with the contract clearing house or whatever it is called.

Covid certainly didn't help, but the Russia/OPEC deal expired as covid was kicking off.

Saudis tanked the market leading up to covid. It was allegedly part of their "what does the kingdom look like after peak oil yada yada" I don't think Trump could have stopped them even if covid doesn't happen because they were swinging their pee pee.

What they learned with their actions and with covid amplifying their moves is why the Saudis started diversifying like crazy. Also a solid chance we see themndo something similar soon.
