I don’t think he realistically gets another seat.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Clean air advantage at this pt seems to be greater than it was before the current regs.
Winter break ??
It needs Maxs upgrades to have no effect and McLaren need Oscar to finish 2nd to Lando for them to have any chance of the drivers title, the RB is too reliable to count on Max dnf
Would be great if we go into Abu Dhabi level on points
Sucks there's such a long gap

In what part of the world do you live where its winter?
Losing 5kg during a race is absolutely mental by the way. I wish I could short cut weight loss in this way 
(I know a lot is water weight).

Had no idea Danny was being replaced for the rest of the season
That is a very nice cap.
Do you need help to move that rock you’re currently under aside?
Sorry was just trying to make a joke.
Coulthard
No yellow flag even? Maybe because we have no Latifi, Mick or Sargeant...
Needed one of them to make it more interesting
Danny Ric driver of the day?! Wtf why do people love him so much

Nah , just had a busy week.
He’s a lot of fun tbh.No yellow flag even? Maybe because we have no Latifi, Mick or Sargeant...

Did one of them just say shit in the cool down room?
Was just kidding my man, just kidding.
Who was it? Max? Ban him, that fecking Dutch rapper.
It’s fine, I deserved it.
What McLaren have done to develop their car since the start of last season is truly incredible though. It’s easy to forget how far back they were a year and a half ago now that seeing papaya on the podium so frequently gets normalised in our minds.
15 points in Superbru , happy with that.
Happy with my 14 too.
Stroll now holds the record for 161 races without having the fastest lap in a race
At least he has a record in f1 history.

Man everyone did really well. I was pleased with 12.5 until I saw what everyone else got
13 points. Meh.
14.5 points.
Lando a lucky boy to get away with both those mistakes. Other than that no one had a chance today, him and the car where simply too quick.
Max with a flawless race got as much as was possible. Good damage limitations all things considered.
Shit there is a 4 week break now. The season in a big way is about to hinge on Red Bulls upgrades in COTA. If they don't work I reckon Lando slowly but surely wins this championship.

maybe 2-3 years ago. max has matured a bit as a racer and with the championships under his belt, he’ll be able to handle the pressure. the closer norris gets, the more pressure he’ll feel and the more likely he is to buckle.
Max very much firm favourite still. And even if Norris keeps winning Max remains favourite unless something catastrophic like a DNF happens. But no way Norris stays clean all the way to the end of the season.
I’m sure someone was trying to argue that Max would probably finish 7th in the remaining races. Proven wrong in the next race already.
Good selection of scores in SuperBru this race, I thought my 15 was decent till I saw tmstras with 16 , well done .
I have to agree with this , the turnaround for McLaren has been massive but still Max’s championship to lose, mind you I can see Norris going the rest of the season clean.
Max commented after the race on the community service he got for saying his car was fecked. Unsurprisingly he's not happy about it and has said stuff like this does impact where he sees his future. This comes after the likes of Hamilton and Norris have called out the FIA on it as well. MBS certainly isn't getting any more popular in F1 these days

Tell me you cant read without telling me you cant read.
Just caught up with the race. Norris a lucky boy with twice clipping the wall. That high downforce package on the mclaren in clean air is something else.
Max doing exactly what he needs to, to win the WDC. Driving like a experienced multi world champion.
So are we expecting RB CashApp to sacrifice their position outside of the top ten every race now till the end of season, just to stop Norris from getting the fastest lap? I think it's in poor taste personally
About time Riccardo left, he's been way past his best for a long time now.
4 week break is just stupid till next race. What's the reason for it?

We had Japan and Qatar last year in this 4 week gap.
Main reason for their move this season was weather based, Japan being in the middle of the rain season and Qatar being hot. The secondary reason was more logistics based, moving Japan closer to China and Qatar closer to Abu Dhabi.
This looks to be a one off and next years calendar follows with a bit more structure.
Agree was really poor taste for RB lite to be used to take Landos fastest lap, they're the only team with 2 teams, would be interesting to see who made that call. Be nice to see a ruling teams have to operate as separate entities but it won't happen
The gap sucks, just as everything is getting interesting. Can see RB closing the gap during this time
I guess nobody's buying the "we wanted to let Danny Ric go out with a fastest lap" line then
I think both can be true: MastercardVisaAmericanExpressRougeBoule doing it bc he indeed had nothing to gain or lose other than a last hurrah, and Dany Ric wanting to do it to help his mate.I guess nobody's buying the "we wanted to let Danny Ric go out with a fastest lap" line then
