Also, wtf is wrong with Checo? Max had a puncture, extra pitstop, and a 10 second penalty but still beats Checo. He's really wasting that seat right now.

It's the same story with the 2nd redbull since Gasly.
You don't know if Max is so better than all his teammates or if the car is designed to his unique drivestyle.
I think that it is a little bit of the 2.

You need to quit now. The simple matter is Lewis has screwed Mercedes, They have no second driver yet, because Lewis bailed when the things got tough.

What are you talking about? He has literally given them a whole year to look for a new driver, that's more than any that I can remember. I need to quit now? Or in one year?

Yes, and following this logic we find that David Coulthard is a better driver than Mario Andretti. Never knew that.
Are you serious? where is your logic? Andretti won the F1 drivers championship in 1978 .. Coulthard never won a world championship

.. anyway, really dirty driving from Verstappen yet again, when he comes under any consistent pressure, he just can't handle it.
Dreadful sportsmanship, ipso facto, sportsman.

.. such a shame for Lando, .. but a super consistent drive yet again from Carlos in a relatively uncompetitive Ferrari. Great result for George being right there to pick up the pieces from the dirty bastard that caused them, and once again for Oscar Piastri so calm, so consistent.

The question in my mind is whether or not Red Bull told may that Lando had a 5 sec penalty?

If the did not tell him, the fight for P1 makes sense.

If they did tell him, was he afraid Lando would make up the 5 seconds once he took the lead?

remember when he refused to allow Checo to pass him even though Max had locked up the Drivers Championship?

Yup. This is why I ask.

Well prior to this race Max and Lando were best buds off track. Lando said he would still be if Max apologised for his actions and Max doesn't think he did anything wrong so doesn't need to. I think they will no longer even be talking to each other come Silverstone. What do others think?

This is who Max is, as soon as he feels threatens the fangs come out. He did it to Lewis in '21 and now to Lando. Clearly, McLaren is a threat to him and had the faster car in Spielberg. If Lando had passed him with 8 or 9 laps to go, he had a legitimate shot of gaining the 5 sec. penalty with clean air in front.

Great to see Ollie Bearman getting the seat with Hass..
Silverstone looking a bit overcast and a bit misty at the moment.. Looks like the mini heat wave has taken a hiatus and might be raining for Saturday and Sunday.. Love Silverstone in the dry, not so much in the wet, but should hopefully be a great Race especially if Lando is on fire like he has been the last couple of races ...and Verstappen doesn't act like a complete spoilt c*** again

Oh, if anyone wants to experience an alternative live coverage, Channel 4 has the entire weekend live; they've got a really good team with lead commentator Alex Jakes, Lee McKenzie, David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Billy Monger, Alice Powel et al.

wow - another door closes for Carlos; I don't know how Danny Ric gets so many chances.

Carlos needs to stop screwing around and make a decision. I get he wants to go to the best team possible but eventually all the teams are going to get tired of waiting on his indecisiveness.

Mega Quali.. Russell was ringing the neck out of that thing, Lando incredibly smooth Hamilton somewhere in the middle, great to watch!

Carlos should have signed with Mercedes for one year that was offered, if he kept up with George, he'd doubtless have a seat for much longer, and Antonelli would be with Williams for the foreseeable; Carlos deserves to be in the best seat available 👍

Problem with Carlos is that it is a 1 year contract as he goes to Audi in 26. No one wants him for one year. He has his seat already for when it matters.

How long before Checo is sacked? Anyone wanna venture a guess....I think he'll be gone after the break.
