That was harsh. 5 second penalty on that.

I guess they are really trying to keep max.

Yup. But if the car is not as fast as Ferrari or Mercedes, he might leave no matter what RB does.

First Newey and now Horner.
Funny how teams experience dominance for a bit, stumble and fall off only
to give ground to competitors.
How long will McClaren's dominance last?

We're coming into the 'silly season' anyway so it's appropriate. Now he can go to Ferrari!

Well, newey went for a change and big money and I believe a stake in the team. And was probably miffed about the Horner investigation last year.

Horner got fired after they probably realized they had no shot at keeping max with him around.

I was surprised they didn't ditch Horner with all that bad press before.

How so? Actual question, not being sarcastic.

The race should have started 30 minutes ago, 4 SC laps were not needed to start the race, and it should have been a standing start. All garbage choices by the race director.

Time wise it's probablybuggered up me watching the ladies Euro final so yeah, fuck him.

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

Indy Car at Laguna Seca (my home track btw) was more interesting to a large degree IMO.

Look for an entire overhaul at Red Bull, including Max.

What team wouldn't love to sign him now.

Perhaps a slight discount, Garage Sale pricing eh

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

Piastri stealing the show.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Piastri is good. Hope he beats out Lando.
