They're replacing him with Liam Lawson for the last few races. I don't think it's official yet, but it's supposed to be as good as done.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
And even if neither apply, surely Dany loves to do it if only to stick it to Zak.
Getting replaced by Liam Lawson
4 weeks until Austin? Didn’t realise there was such a long gap.
They were saying even if Liam takes DR seat, he's still part of their driver pool and could be back next season
Would be very interesting to know where the call came from, I can understand if he was in the points if it was a boost for his last race but he wasn't which makes me suspect it was to help RB

Expected to be replaced my Lawson. Not officially announced but I think Danny going for the fastest lap there all but confirms it.
Isn’t retiring but I can’t see him getting another seat.
I don’t think he realistically gets another seat.
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
