Re: 2024 Australian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

Williams don’t have a spare chassis following Albon’s big shunt in practice. From the tweet below looks like they’ll be using Sargeant’s car for Albon for the rest of the weekend. https://x.com/phortonf1/status/1771095697401446462?s=46&t=ogYVTvP780Kb_NbBode63w Not sure how I feel about that.

But the "gaming of the system" only started after Magnussen received the second penalty and his race was ruined.

Re: Christian Horner Allegations Thread

I think there's a pretty clear argument for Red Bull bringing the sport into disrepute if they're actually engaging in a coverup. It's drawn international attention at this point, and it's getting people that don't normally care about F1 to suddenly notice it in a bad light. Well, it wasn't RB that...
