Who will remain the first driver of the team ? The driver has to show that on the track .
MAX said more than once I don't care who my teammate is , or will be . I just drive my race like usual to get the best possible performance out of my car .
MAX actually didn't had a teammate in the last 3 seasons , didn't saw he had any support from his teammates .
And that really s@cks for RB's race strategy . All we saw was that MAX 'IS' the RB team ...


Nico speaks German and Dutch , because his mom is Dutch . But that doesn't matter as MAX said ,I'll speak on the track !
One thing is for sure ...Albon must walk ASAP by the lack of performance .
Just like grandma Bottas , the shame of Mercedes is !
Apart from the 51% stake ALB's performance has been second rate.

I'd absolutely prefer to see much closer racing...not bothered if Hamilton never wins another race. The mixed up races at Istanbul and Portugal have been some of the best of the season.
At the same time, I live in this universe, where the reality is that Verstappen isn't as good as Hamilton. Doesn't matter how much and your buddy like to pretend that he is.

The cheapest way to remove asphalt off your car is with butter .
Works really well !

FTFY. There is absolutely zero evidence to support your assertion that HUL is better than Perez, my friend. HUL has zero podiums in 10 years and is approaching 200 races in F1. PER, on the other hand, has shown his mettle and has been around to help tRacing Point punch above their weight for YEARS. PER will give VER too much trouble at RBR.

Cheers-mk

Indeed the Verstappens will most definitely try to veto Perez.
They would much rather have the driver who is less likely to challenge Verstappen jnr.

If you guys are saying that Perez is better . Well , I really hope that Red Bull goes for Perez .
Whoever it may be , MAX wouldn't lose his sleep for it . As he said , I'll show that at the track ..

BTW : HAM is welcome as well at the Red Bull team .
That guys....That would be fantastic !!! F1 Reborn

Vettel is a good dude.

This is him talking about Leclerc.

“He’s a lot younger, he’s very quick and I think the fact that - I haven’t had the chance to talk to him yet – but I will tell him later that being on the podium or not actually is a bit irrelevant for him because he has so many years ahead of him and so many podiums to come, which I’m sure of.

I did a ****** job! - Charles Leclerc's radio rant following Turkish Grand Prix
“It’s right that he is angry, he did a mistake and lost the podium that way but as I said, in the big picture probably irrelevant for him. I think I’m mature enough, I never let this kind of stuff really heat up and get between us.”

Vettel is moving on at the end of the year, joining up with Racing Point as they morph into Aston Martin Racing. But there will clearly always be a fondness towards Leclerc.

“I’m happy for anything that he achieves and will achieve in the future because he’s a good kid,” the German said. “Obviously [Turkey] was a very tough race and I think all of us, we were very close to losing it completely at various stages in the race. Obviously it’s extra painful when it happens in the last lap.”

Was never much of a Vettel fan back in the day...but I think I misjudged him. The last couple of years I've really grown to like him.

It turns out that people do actually mature with age and become more likeable!

Maybe there is still hope for Max...

Apparently Red Bull put Verstappens front wing on upside down....it was only his masterful driving that got him up to 6th place.
The man is a genius!

I heard they actually installed his rear wing in the front, and his front one on the back!
Only someone with Max's outstanding race craft would have been capable of bringing that car home. GOAT!

they can surely but mistakes happen in motorsports..
