In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
The difference to when RB win 
I wish Trump did a John Terry here and joined the celebrations in full racing gear claiming glory
They don't have that large overalls
Lando live on TV "feck"
We apologise for the accidental F-ordnance discharge
LETS GO LANDOOOOOOO!
I've not been this happy in F1 for a long, long time.

Max' post race interview was so happy it seems like he thought: yay I finally have a challenge, party time!
Plus with the orange overalls you wouldn't be able to tell where his face ends and the suit begins
Bigly trueMcLaren humiliating the works team by out upgrading them to insane levels over the last 18 months.
Holy crap have McLaren actually gone and got good again? I'd stopped believing. Delighted for Norris after coming close before.
Lando and McLaren's socials are going to be brilliant after this
YES! Well done Lando. Finally. Brilliant result. That upgraded Mclaren Lando look good.
Interesting to find out what exactly caused the RedBulls to struggle so much with front turn in.
Max's 4d chess move of taking out the bollard was next level.
Piastri unlucky with Sainz being a twat and ruining his race.

Delighted for Lando, fully deserved. Great to see everyone being delighted for him.
Will Sainz get a penalty?
I thought the bollard was dealt with under virtual safety car? The safety car which allowed Norris the cheaper stop was from something else, can’t remember who - Sargeant and ?
VAR check over
Magnusen. It's always Magnusen.

Happy for Lando, been a few podiums now without getting it over the line. Made even sweeter by bit having to see another Verstappen victory which has gotten fairy old. I'll take a few more races like that this year.

Kinda curious about the truth of the Trump visit to McLaren. They are claiming he asked to come to them, I call bs considering how delighted Zac was to see him. Really wish politicians would stay far away from F1.
Carlos Sainz has been hit with a five-second time penalty – along with one penalty point on his licence – after being deemed to have caused a collision with Oscar Piastri during the Miami Grand Prix.
Sainz had been attempting to overtake the McLaren into Turn 17 during the latter stages of the race when he slightly lost the rear of his Ferrari and made contact with the Australian’s car. This resulted in Piastri picking up damage on his front wing, forcing him to make a pit stop which dropped him down the order.
After a stewards’ hearing attended by both drivers and their respective team representatives, it was decided that Sainz was to blame for the incident, with the Spaniard having missed the apex after braking late, which then caused him to lose the rear. The stewards stated that Piastri had given “sufficient room” for Sainz.
However, it was also taken into account that, without Sainz slightly losing the rear, the collision would “likely not have happened”, meaning that the standard penalty of 10 seconds and two penalty points was changed to a five-second penalty and one penalty point.
Sainz had originally crossed the line in fourth, but the penalty will drop him down to fifth, subsequently promoting Sergio Perez up into P4.

Andrea Stella calls for race bans for ‘completely unacceptable’ Kevin Magnussen behaviour
The Haas driver was further investigated by the stewards after the Sprint for alleged unsportsmanlike behaviour in Miami, but they took no further action as a result.
Magnussen admitted after the Sprint that his penalties were likely deserved, with a total of 25 seconds having been added to his race time and a subsequent punishment being sent his way by the FIA of three penalty points on his Super Licence.
That punishment puts him to within four penalty points of a race ban, but McLaren team boss Stella believes deliberately driving in such a way to keep another car behind should result in an immediate ban.
“For me, it’s actually relatively simple, this case, because we have a case of a behaviour being intentional in terms of damaging another competitor,” Stella explained to media in Miami.
“This behaviour is perpetuated within the same race and repeated over the same season. How can penalties be cumulative? They should be exponential.

Selfishly I think that grabs me an extra point in Superbru as before the penalty I had Perez and Sainz the wrong way!
The feck he’s a legend for what according to these posters? Annoying dirty cnut.
Well deserved Lando. Been a long time coming. Interesting to see whether it was a one off or McLaren have been actually upgraded to god level. The way they left red bull in the dust was mighty impressive to say the least.
RB says Verstappen damaged his floor when he hit the curve before taking that cone thing out, so I wouldn’t read too much in to RB’s performance, but absolutely thrilled for Noris & McLaren and great to see Verstappen beaten on the race track in terms of a bit of competition for the race win. Great stuff.
Fully deserved. Think him and Sainz have been the best drivers outside of Max for the past year or so, so it's fitting they've both picked up wins in that time. Hope lando can maintain this now and pick up a few more wins this season!
Ridiculous hate for Lewis as he was held up by the cnut during sprint race
You feel that Norris will kick on now, their upgrades clearly worked I I suspect they’ll be quick especially at Monaco in a couple of weeks with all those slow corners.
Stroll giving 10 second penalty for causing collision with Sergeant.
Kmag given multiple penalties and ends up P19 from P18.

Hopefully RB will struggle like this at a few more tracks and Ferrari finding a little more race pace, then we could potentially have 5-6 drivers competing for the win in some races. One can hope at least.
Great to see Lando get his first win.

So pleased for Lando, that was a great drive. In quali they had the potential and RB didn't look so hot over the weekend and often clumsy through that messy chicane, many drivers were up and down before the main race but it turned out to be a good race. Even Hamilton found a stable setup to drive.

Highly doubt anyone is going to mount a real challenge against Max as he will consistently finish in the top 3 but it will make it easier to watch if there's actual racing on the track.
One thing the race is still missing is an actual battle between 1st and 2nd place, we might have got in Melbourne if Max hadn't have retired but it seems like whoever is leading at the moment just sails off.

Headline for an F1 article on BBC:
“ 'Norris win a popular one as end-of-empire feeling swirls around Red Bull' “
Madness. Definitely a popular win, but does anyone think it’s the end of the Red Bull empire?
