Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?
Your reference to Germany 2019 not being anything to do with strategy is funny, when Merc put Hamilton on dry tyres as it started raining despite him warning them against it and then when he lost his front wing as a result giving him a 90 second pitstop or whatever it was Not only was Verstappen al...

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?
Oh man, how do you come up with such nonsense? Look, I know it is hard seeing Perez where he is, but he is simply up against a vastly superior driver. You see Verstappen winning in a Mercedes? I see him winning races, just like he did in 2019 and 2020 against cars that had a larger comparative adva...

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
You can just use both surely. It's a bit ridiculous not to penalise a driver everyone very clearly saw move just because the sensor said he didn't.

Re: Your favourite seasoning opening race (since 2000)
Voted 2022:
first race with new regs
Max vs Charles for first time in almost equal cars
Fernando vs Lewis
I think I remember there was only like 1 safety car as well towards the end so the racing was a bit more organic IIRC
I liked 2003 also but there were quite a few SCs

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?
It's hard not to think that the 'Max could go to Mercedes' rumour isn't just another ploy to try and exert pressure on Horner to quit, but if it does actually have some substance and he does have a way out of the contract, it would be astonishing to see him go to Merc. I would also assume that Red ...

"no son i dont care, no more red bull for you"

Ironically if we believe the rumours, if Horner leaves this may mean Max stays at RB and then personally I see the team failing without CH, whilst at the same time if Horner stays then Max will leave and RB will conti ue to prosper.
