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...

In the real sense, Horner then isn't sacked?
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 ...

Piastri is a little unlucky today.

I think 10s is on the harsh side. Been a lot of chat about Russell doing similar rec...

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 ...
