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

Seven front rows in a row for Leclerc. Incredible. On the opposite end of the spectrum this is Checo's first start in the top three since Spa last year (before the summer break). That was courtesy of an article at The-Race. He started second after qualifying 3rd in Spa because Max took an grid pena...

Re: Christian Horner Allegations Thread

Quite a lot of stories circulating about Marko this evening.

1. He said he could be suspended by Red Bull before Australia
2. That Red Bull have told him not to speak to the media
3. That he’s under investigation over leaks from the Red Bull team
4. That he’s left the paddock for the weekend
