      As mentioned above it doesn't sound like Max is happy about the demotion at all, even liking IG posts accusing Red Bull of bullying. A lot of trouble in paradise there. It's pretty unfortunate timing for Lawson really, if the Japanese Grand Prix was a few races away, he'd likely have been given more time until then. But if they were going to bring Yuki in then that is the race to do so, because money talks even if that's a short term view.

      Adds a lot of interest to this race though, if Lawson can out perform Tsunoda the infighting will only increase. Gotta love the drama.

          Verstappen to me looks to be just going through the motions, like he doesn't really care what happens. I wonder how much passion or motivation he has left after all his success and the shenanigans at RB. Almost looks like he is just collecting the paycheck and waiting for time to go so he can compete in his virtual racing.

            Max has always said he will walk away young.

            Suspect he will and then come back

              All of a sudden there's a lot of people who care very much about rewarding performance. Muchos de ellos hablando en español... 🤣

                            Whispers from the paddock....

                            Decision to cancel LL was basically a fait du compli in China

                            RB are making major changes to Tsunoda's car to make it more driveable. Something they never bothered to do with LLs car

                            So basically our lad got shafted

                                      Nope. Can't divulge, but it's close. All that shit Horner was spitting about looking after him, he hasn't spoken to him at the time of the announcement or since.

                                      You are right though, I don't really see what the point of it was. If they had been serious he would have been given lots of reps like the kid at MB apparently had.

                                      Regardless I think he's better off at Racing Bulls

                                        @canefan it makes zero sense they would waste all that time and money in both teams, just to set him up for failure. If true, both teams should be looking hard at a senior leadership clear out, that's amateur hour stuff for when there's not millions on the line.

                                          I don't know what else to say. You just do you. Like you always do. It makes no sense to me either
