Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Silverstone 2025
Yeah, what Piastri did was unusual and dangerous. Deserved penalty. Shame for him, because it was totally unnecessary, but at least it's a lesson he won't forget. Will this be a standard practice behind a SC that 60psi of brake pressure determines erratic driving or will it only get flagged up if a...

Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Silverstone 2025
Piastri didn't do anything abnormal. hard braking is 130psi not 60psi, Verstappen did what starts to become normal for him in making it all so dramatic in order to try and win a race, the stewards just didn't buy it against Russell. Clearly wasn't normal. And clearly not just Verstappen having prob...

Re: Red Bull Racing sack Christian Horner
