Also, wtf happened with the DQs in China?! Can’t believe Stroll is ahead of both Ferrari

@Bridger I have a hairbrained theory that max will look to the Newey Honda Aston Martin F1 team if he continues struggling all year. Lol
If that was the case @WhiskeySandwich I hope it isn't Fernando's seat that Max takes
-
@Bridger idk I love Alonso but I think he might be done before too much longer

Very true @WhiskeySandwich, but I really would like Lance to take a longer stroll to somewhere away from F1. [While the funding remains...]

I'd be happy it it was a short one, if a plank was involved....

Yuki should have been first pick for RB, psyched he's getting his chance and I hope it works out. Pretty savage that they only gave Lawson 2 races, one being a shitshow in the rain.
-
Lawson got outperformed by other rookies though. I think this is a good move even if only to understand how shitty the car is by changing a variable against the control.
-
I’m stoked to finally see Yuki get his shot.
-
Agreed. I’d love Yuki to retain that seat a while, but for RBR to be replaced by McLaren and Ferrari at the top for a bit. And if I’m dreaming, Williams.

It’s been interesting to watch and read post race synopsis of the downfall/current predicament of Red Bull. The general consensus is that Max’s skills were able to compensate for a poorly designed car until he couldn’t manage the issues any longer. The second seat for multitudes of issues wasn’t able to control the car in the same way which dictated that they be tossed aside for more competent drivers. Sadly, they are only now realizing that it’s the car that’s the issue and that no one is going to succeed until changes are made to make the car more drivable.
Basically, the car has evolved to a point that even Max can’t control it and the second seat doesn’t have much of a chance until major design changes take place.
It will be an interesting season and I for one, hope to see Lewis win a few to instill confidence back into him. It may also be good for Max in learning a little humility and sportsmanship…but then again…
-
If the past is any guide, Frontrunner Max is much less of an asshole on and off the track. I really hope we don’t see a return to divebombing other drivers.
-
@Tago-Mago yeah Russell is the one driver on the grid I actively dislike.
-
@Tago-Mago I am fairly certain most drivers fit into that same category? haha.
On a brighter note; have a photo of when I went to the Monaco GP and we managed to have dinner with some of the RB pit team up the top of the hill.
ps. I've been team Lando for a number of years, and hoping that this is THE year!
pps. looks like the photo was taken with a potato.. to my defence it was a number of years ago.

@Giles touche I don’t much care for Stroll either. Or Stroll, for that matter
-
Packed and ready for Suzuka in a weeks time.

@Bailey agreed, and if not this year, I worry there won’t be one. I’m still pissed at McLaren for that “two #1” nonsense last year that IMO cost him a WDC (yes, his mistakes didn’t help either). Lando stuck it out with them through garbage cars and deserved at least a couple of years as #1 while Piastri rounded into form. By the time they decreed that they would prioritize Lando the race was out of reach.
It was a tough call, but we opted for CDMX this year over Monaco for my 50th birthday. One day…
