I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Aside from that, on the strength of current performances I certainly wouldn’t keep Perez in the Red Bull for 2024… but nor would I put Ricciardo in the seat.
Agree Perez doesn't seem consistent enough to be in a car that looks like it should be able to get 1-2 most weekends.
Albon has generally been fantastic for Williams so I hope they can keep moving forwards. God knows about Sargeant. To end up 21st in a championship with 20 cars when your team is 7th in the WCC isn't a great look, however you spin it.
Started shit, ended up even shitterer.
Ban Verstappen from quali, and make him start from the back for every race. Should spice things up a bit
Joking aside, he'd still probably win at least half of the races.
19 race wins in a single season is insane. Hats off to RBR and Max for that. Just relentless and totally dominant.
Don't bemoan it, applaud it. They have F1'd to the max (no pun) and that is what F1 is all about. Lando, Charles, and Fernando etc would all just steam roll the season if they could. Ruthless, calculating, dull, beautiful success.
Sergio is fine as long as he brings a few million with him, and Max scored enough points to theoretically win the Constructors' for RBR on his own anyway.
I had to laugh at Horner in the press stating about dynasties, and how they'd broken Mercedes dominance without a reg change. Errrr no Christian, you were given the title by the FIA, subtle difference, dickhead. Plus you didn't win the constructors either....
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
The first indication of how far ahead Red Bull are in this aspect came at Monaco this year, when Perez binned it at Sainte Devote. As the car was hoisted in the air by the recovery crane, everyone got a good look up Red Bull’s skirt.
When Hamilton put his car in the wall in final practice, everyone also got a look at the Merc underbody (much to the annoyance of Toto Wolff. The difference was shocking, with the Red Bull’s architecture visibly more intricate with high tunnels.
In contrast, the Mercedes underbody is much simpler.
The result was a Red Bull which delivered a much better spread of downforce through different ride height, and (in the hands of Verstappen at least) was much faster than any other car. Unpicking all of that is going to be a right job for the other teams.
McLaren’s new technical director who is ex Redbull is a master of mechanical grip apparently. Which is probably the biggest thing that’s made them jump up to front runners.
