Red Bull have a bigger advantage than they did last year. It's shameful that the likes of Leclerc and Norris don't even try and race Verstappen.
cause drivers have now been programmed to not race faster cars which is a real shame to be honest

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

I think Bearman did quite well, Leclerc did superb job splitting the Red Bull's let's hope his brakes work this time maybe he can get the jump on Max and keep the race interesting for 2 laps, though I won't be watching anyway.

As expected, Horner is denying all the allegations but supposedly his lawyer is also offering a $750,000 settlement fee to the employee in question.
i would have thought he would want to clear his name(to remove all doubt once and for all) and then make the employee pay for defamation.
