I am expecting a good showing from Hamilton and Russell this weekend.Mercedes bringing a large amount of updates to Silverstone apparently. New rear wong, new front wing, floor changes etc etc.
Mclaren and Alfa Romeo have both said no more major updates this season for them. They will tey to maximise what they have with their current package.
Horner obviously moaning about the budget cap as alledgedly RB have spent most of their budget allocated for developing the car this season and ferrari still have a way to go to use up all their budget for car development.
100 % agree.feck Nelson Piquet.
Neither did I till today.Didn't realise that that sick old cnut is Verstappen's father-in-law. He really doesn't have many good role models around him does he with the likes of Horner, Marko, Piquet, if we're honest even his dad...
Also did Nelson Piquet express his disappointment in his son through the medium of marrying off his daughter to a better driver? Very Trumpy sort of thing to do if so

He really does not have good roll models surrounding him.
Piquet was on of the driver I grew up watching, his battles with Senna were epic, but all the respect I had ,has gone.
is this a wind up ?I never realised you were Brazilian until today - your English is terrific. Out of interest when it's said that Piquet directed homophobic abuse at Senna, was that because of the São Paulo football team "Os Gais" thing to try to wind him up or was it actually him saying it in a sort of directed, personal way? Any idea?
There is still some use of the word in a slang way in Rio, but it's done in an impersonal way and in that context is not even about color. In that case it's doing the job of the word "people" or "guys" maybe. As in "people are dreaming if they think United can win the league this season".The context he uses it in is the important part. You could argue the word isolated away may not be immediately offensive, but the way he's using it along with blaming Hamilton for the Verstappen crash proves it's not in a positive way.
Might be related to this post?is this a wind up ?
Fair point.Might be related to this post?

Does make it sound like you're implying that you are Brazilian. Unless it's just a wind up.
I know people will say they shouldn't have to say anything but other team like Ferrari are. It's about standing up to racism whoever is involved. Especially when you look the young Red Bull driver situation a week ago and Nelson being linked to Max, a little tweet of support to Lewis wouldn't kill them.
Honestly when I read that post I had to look back good because I was like... I know he's a brit but whys he saying he's BrazilianMight be related to this post?

What are the odds of Max entering the final race of the season dressed as Zwarte Piet?
it does read that way, doesn't it: Hamilton deserves respect because he's done all these things. So, if he hadn't, or if Piquet had said this about someone who cleans the paddocks and does a poor job of it - then it would've been fine?It’s disgusting. There’s no need for them to write that stuff about how Hamilton is and ambassador for support or deserves respect either. All of the focus should be on how Piquet has been a racist cnut and should be nowhere near the paddock or representing the sport at all in the future. Pathetic statement from F1.
You know Pauldy never puts quotation marks around his quotes!I never realised you were Brazilian until today - your English is terrific. Out of interest when it's said that Piquet directed homophobic abuse at Senna, was that because of the São Paulo football team "Os Gais" thing to try to wind him up or was it actually him saying it in a sort of directed, personal way?

Kelly Piquet liking this post to top it all off. Yikes.

This is the video. Somebody in the comments has translated the interview which helps give better context.Highly doubt that Pique called Hamilton with that N word out of love for him.

Wow the Max hate in here is crazy. You guys find a way to bring his name in for something he wasn't involved in. Is Piquet involved with RB on some official capacity to suspend him?This is Red Bull essentially siding with Verstappen / Kelly Piquet / Nelson Piquet instead of standing up to racism. Yet one of their junior drivers says the N word on a stream and is immediately cut.
How pathetic is that? RBR just go down in my estimations every time.
I cant agree with this, RB and Max dont have anything to do with it, OK so Piquet is Max's partners Dad , but that is it.This is Red Bull essentially siding with Verstappen / Kelly Piquet / Nelson Piquet instead of standing up to racism.

I am no fan of either, but this is not about them, this is just down to one racist old man.
How is it unrelated? Red bull have confirmed they won't make a statement regarding the issue.Wow the Max hate in here is crazy. You guys find a way to bring his name in for something he wasn't involved in. Is Piquet involved with RB on some official capacity to suspend him?
It's also weird that a British forum hates RB, which is based in the UK and seem to support a German car manufacturer more.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone on here came up with a conspiracy that Max asked Piquet to say all this

Note to self, must structure my posts better
Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, but their sponsor and engine manufacturer are German, wheras Red Bull's are... - oh, wait...Mercedes are also based in the UK...

Not one person said this. More critical of RB for not releasing a statement in support of Lewis like Ferrari. Considering the past week they've terminated a driver contract because of racist language and last season firing 2 employees for throwing racists abuse towards Lewis. Can't forget them firing an executive because of racist comments in 2020. It's a bit of a history, so to have the support off the teams except RB isn't a good move.
