Linked with a move to RedBull junior team, with Lawson going to RedBull and Perez getting the boot.

I think they've given Perez far too much time, probably purely because he brings in ££££'s they've binned drivers for way less

Would be good if true but will they finally bin him...

Would be interesting to see Liam in the main team, would his driving style suit a car that's designed to suit Max's? It's where so many others have failed, as theirs doesn't

Herbert did not have that bad a record.
Johnny Herbert has enjoyed an illustrious career in motorsports, having raced for seven different teams in Formula One. A career that spanned 11 years, Johnny was able to secure three wins, seven podiums and 98 career points during his tenure in Formula One.

Herbert was very unlucky with his career. The crash he had in F3 as a young driver was so bad it permanently damaged his ankles (metal pins were inserted). So he lost mobility and some of his ability in a race car with his feet.

Who knows what sort of F1 career he could have had without that crash. Could have been a potential WDC. Such is motor racing.
 
Hope none of you picked the Mercedes in your predictions for your superbru game.

They will struggle this weekend.

Yeah true , I quite liked him in F1 thought he was decent
 
Their first runs were pretty late. Think they came back with about 2 mins left
 
Decent chance that Norris picks up some serious catch up points this weekend...
 
The 5 spot drop could cost Verstappen big points here. McLaren look mighty
 
Let's hope we actually get to see the challenging race rather than a red flag

Have we even had any wet races this season?

Yeah strangely wikipedia has him winning zero races on his stats page but elsewhere says he won 2 races in 1995 including Silverstone.

Oh he won the third race in 1999.

Yeh I saw that myself and thought it was odd, because I remembered that 99 race so well, it was the nurburgring and he was driving for Stewart and it was an epic race. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.
 
So Leclerc only got a fine for swearing because he realised what happened to Max, said he didn't want that to happen to him and apologised. What a joke, as expected :lol:

Pretty shocking from Hamilton too. Had 2 goes at it

Apparently they had to raise the floor of his car as the track is so bumpy it's causing him physical pain in FP1. Also both cars are randomly snap oversteering at corners so neither driver can attack the corners as they want.

Only hope for Mercedes is that the data from the sprint will allow them to dial in the car for the race tomorrow.
 
Feels a pretty critical weekend with a sprint and Max starting with a 5 place penalty, and McLaren looking dominant. Norris needs to be less than 30 pts behind after this weekend has finished to still have a shot I think.

Yeah seen some of the onboards, the re-laid track is extremely bumpy
 
Both AMs starting from pit lane after running the car too low and damaging the floor, according to Ted Krawitz. Had to repair, and raise the suspension.
