I’m glad Checo didn’t get out of Q1 again. I hope Red Bull gets **** on in the constructors and can be happy as long as they got their sponsor money. ****ing dumb ****s.

It's an embarrassment - they could have had Hulk, Alonso, Tsunoda, Sainz, Lawson, Gasly... you could have a monkey throw darts at a list of drivers and come up with a better choice than Perrez.

Yuki still has his rants but overall, his mindset in the car has improved massively over the last season or so.
Albon got a shot. Gasly got a shot. With Perez’s absolutely abysmal performances, it’s a flat out shame Yuki never got/probably never will get a shot. Do I think Yuki would challenge Max? Hell no, but I know he’d be chitting on Checo’s performances and at least constantly be in the top 5.

As soon as I saw they had those tires I knew it would be a disaster. The second the truck isn’t absolutely soaking wet those tires are 100% dog****. They displayed this perfectly today. Unfortunately for them the track dried way too fast for the gamble to pay off.
…and the Haas team giving Kevin an 8+ second stop didn’t help. I believe he would definitely have finished in the points today if not for that first stop after the full wet charge. He lost probably 4-5 unnecessary positions with that stop.

People gotta keep in mind that the main purpose of the red bull racing team is to simply advertise and sell red bull cans, that's the sole purpose of checos 1 + 1 contract (and he's no threat to max). An extra 10 mil in bonus for winning the WCC is nothing for red bull.
That was an epic race. Albons double over take was insane.
Is there a driver who's better at safety car restarts than Max? I swear to God he is so fckn good at it. +1.9 seconds in essentially half a lap after a safety car restart and he does it every time.
if max wasn't driving the red bull, it would be in the 3rd or maybe 4th spot on the grid. Max is the difference.Fck u james

That was easily the race of the year, just relentless action. I didn't get much done at work while it was on Be nice if it continues but i think the next few races are RB friendly tracks, expect Max to cruise off again. F1TV were superb. They didn't miss anything on track and are pretty unbiased. I dont think i'll go back to the Skytv commentators.
Albons first RB year was really good, but by the end of the second year Max was starting to lap him on occasion. This is probably the closest F1 field ever in history which means if Perez is a few tenths off Max it has a much greater penalty than it did in Albons RB days. Albon has been pretty vocal about how difficult the RB cars were, and are to drive, he likened it to setting a gaming mouse to maximum sensitivity where tiny inputs are massively amplified. Apparently this and last years RB cars look quite difficult to drive judging by the onboards. The RB is obviously really fast but i don't think it is nearly as easy to drive as Max makes it look.
Horner leaked today that Perez's contract is not 2 years, it is 1+1. Make of that what you will."Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking.

I loosely followed 24h LeMans this past weekend. Some questionable stuff always happens during the course of 24 hours of racing.
But Ferrari won, so that's cool, I guess. Second year in a row.
Spain this weekend. Easy track layout with soft entry turns pretty much everywhere. Huge run-offs.
I took "no retirements" @ 7.0
Also took Oscar to win qualifying @ 14.0
The general consensus is that Max will mog at this track, but this is the lowest confidence I've had in the Red Bull car for years.Spoiler alert; you die at the end.

Took a couple micro wagers on RB cash app.
Aston has no upgrades this weekend, and apparently RB has a big one. Should give them a leg up. Seems like they would do ok on this track regardless.
Yuki gets top 6 @ 14.0
RB gets fastest lap @ 56.0
Both RBs get top 6 (LOL) @ 91.0
These are fun because you can throw $5 at it and have some hope during the race.Spoiler alert; you die at the end.
