That's for the reserve and the second seat, I guess ?

No one thinks that a fourth thief could reap the benefits ? I wouldn't rule out Russell right now...

Harpo

What did you all think? I was open to it going in and initial impressions were it could spice up the ususal procession. Things went downhill pretty quickly for me when it became clear how much teams were going to use the "backing up" tactic. As a fan of the sport for 30+ years I found this hard to ...

Is it completely outside the realm of possibility that Max is transferred to the Racing Bull car if Lawson out performs Tsunoda? Or in this budget cap era, is the second Red Bull car just not the same as the first one? I suspect that there are sponsors on the Red Bull car that might become quite up...

It's official:

All the best Yuki.

He already got the best : Being "promoted" from White Bull n°1 car to Red Bull n°2 car.
If it goes according the previous experiments attempted on the previous guinea pigs, it can only go worse from now on.

Harpo

Confirmation Lawson is out. Interesting . . . De Limburger reports power unit provider Honda was prepared to pay Red Bull an additional 10 million euros to guarantee Tsunoda a drive for this year. It is claimed the Japanese manufacturing giant already pays 10 million euros to Racing Bulls for his s...

They should try something new at Red Bull. Instead of replacing the umpteenth n°2 driver by any other already convicted scapegoat, they should replace the second car by a repainted White Bull...

So you can run a whole race with an "illegal car", as long as you pit on the last lap for new tyres. Question (that's a hole in the rules that need to be filled urgently) : If the driver defecates in the car during the last laps, does the weight of the poo, that remains in the car after the driver ...

Both Ferrari drivers on the first 2 steps and a surprise on the third.
It's a prediction from my crystall ball, not from my brain (that is only four years old, anyway).

Welcome back.
Not so many forumers from this time are still here.

It will be a wet race... And the result shoud have nothing in common with the qualies.

Let's wait till the finish line... But is it possible that the White Bulls are better than the Red ones ? I mean, is it simply allowed ? Vettel says "yes!" ;-) "said", 17 years ago... As nobody from either team had won anything before, and didn't win anything for one year and half after, I guess th...

"Number one is to survive..." Yet another Lotus 49 : Graham Hill at Montjuïc in 1969. The high rear wing broke before the crash... So did the rear wing of Rindt's n° 2 Lotus 49, with the same result. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a5/29/3c/a5293cd0cc6955f52bc53b64552fae3f.jpg And my contribution to this ...

Funny by the way how nobody has jumped on the fact that Perez is not even from South America. 🌎 :smug: Considering that 90% of the drivers apparently didn't realize Mexico had pyramids (as of the last Grill the Grid episode), I get the impression most Europeans don't know Central America even exist...

Bruce McLaren's McLaren in a street of Monaco that never was included in the track lay-out. I wonder why...

That's good news. Hopefully this is a step towards having a full grid again in a few years. Considering the size of the current (and next) cars, I'm not sure a 26 cars grid is desirable... I honestly doubt the size of the cars matters all that much, but a few more returns to normal would definitely...

Another number 4. Depailler at the wheel of his Tyrrell, Zeltweg 1978 (when it was still a beautiful but daunting fast track - with its original name).

As long as Red Bull is a 1 driver and 1 car team, I don't think the question is of any interest. What they are looking for is a top driver who will accept to be sacrificed and still be happy to be. Apart from an "average" driver who will be pleased to be signed by a top team, who with enough talent ...
