Re: F1 Gossip/Rumour/Inside news Thread
Looks like Max to Merc is done deal now ? Is this based on the tweet/x of them both (reportedly) being in Sardinia? Or has there been more news, or rumors, to come out since then? Not trying to question you just curious if this is you reading the tea leaves from earlier or if you've heard something...

Re: Red Bull Racing sack Christian Horner
Other than Horner not stepping aside when the scandal broke last year, which may have cost the team Newey and that would count as an enormous mistake , I don't really see what he has done recently which was wrong. Yes, the car has not performed, and ultimately that is his responsibility, but he doe...

Re: Red Bull Racing sack Christian Horner
In other words, "How's those azaleas in your garden looking Christian? Maybe they need a bit of attention".
Just to add to Horners grief, his first wife, Beverly, sadly passed away under 2 weeks ago.

Re: Red Bull Racing sack Christian Horner
This is useful from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/ceq7z05ype7o Horner has made several obviously poor decisions in the last couple of years but it also gives the impression of a team scared to upset the Verstappen camp. This touches on an element i definitely think is true ...

Re: Red Bull Racing sack Christian Horner
If this is the price of keeping Verstappen then I’m not sure it’s a great move by Red bull to give Verstappen and his camp that much power. I think Horner is more important to Red Bull than Verstappen. I can see Horner to Ferrari happening. Lets not forget a similar thing, though nowhere near this ...

Re: 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread
Piastri is a little unlucky today. He had a big lead wiped out with the SC, and whilst I think the penalty call is probably right, I can see why it happened from his perspective - he scrubbed too much speed though. I think 10s is on the harsh side. Been a lot of chat about Russell doing similar rec...

Bone head of the day goes to Piastri. That dumb safety car move cost him the race. Considering what's on the line & the race position he was in, totally unnecessary, totally stupid.

Terrible driving from both Norris and Piastri. Yet these are the two drivers fighting it out for the WDC. Not going to be a vintage year by any measure. Disagree with that strongly.

I've always found him...

Re: 2025 Austrian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
I think with Norris and Piastri so close together, there is a very plausible alternative explanation, namely that the car is very quick and perhaps quicker than the results suggest. I'm looking at the gap to Piastri rather than the position on the timing sheets. It's very unusual for an FP1 rookie ...
