    yes but . . .

    do you think the penalty would have been applied if the circumstances were reversed

    if the penalty was hanging over norris, and piastri was just behind him

    so giving the aussie the win over the pom at the british GP

    i dont think so . . .

    there would have been a riot for sure!

    Unequivocally yes, it would have been applied and no, there wouldn't have been a riot. F1 media is pretty balanced over here. Yes, there is a natural bias towards the British drivers, but if Norris had pulled the Piastri move, people would have expected him to be punished.

    Maybe Max is already gone? Could have been the last straw, Horner has to go, start from the bottom and build up a new team?

    Otherwise surely Red Bull Racing is more attractive to Verstappen with Horner in charge? He knows how to create not just a winning team but a team that can completely dominate. That's got to be 10 times more important than a Team Principle getting along with your Dad, despite what the tabloids and netflix might want us to believe.

    There was a group of people at Red Bull (Horner, Newey, Wheatly, Marshall, Marko and others) who are all as competitive as hell and for a long time they likely put their differences to one side because combined they ruthlessly created one of the most successful teams of all time. It has all been slowly crumbling since Dietrich Mateschitz passed away. Max's continued success has merely created a facade to cover what began to collapse 2.5 years ago.

    Bit harsh on Red Bull IMHO to say what has happened over the last couple of years is a collapse. There are so many moving parts to creating an F1 team and all are subject to swings and roundabouts. It's not THAT long ago that Mercedes was completely dominant, leagues ahead of anybody else. Did they have a collapse? The difference is that despite their large drop off, Toto owns the team, so he basically cannot be sacked.

    Regardless they have the financial backing to turn things around. They certainly have a very very interesting year ahead.

    Don't worry. One of the kids sorted it out for me.

    Was it you?

    Oh. No. Sorry.

    Max won the sprint. Did well to get past Piastri on the first lap

    Sprint races kind of suck because no one wants to risk the rest of the weekend

    Fuck it was one of the most boring races eh, hardly any position changes if you discount those that went past Gasly.

    Just when it was looking peachy, Lawson sneaks past Tsunoda "after the bell", only for Tsunoda to sneak back past. Shittest RB driver of the day.

    Now he has to survive the start and race clean. I heard rain might be coming which might suit him well, if he can get away clean

    Lawson in the points finishing in 8th place in Belgium. A McLaren one-two with Piastri getting the victory.

    Yeah solid drive from Lawson. Qualified 9th, finished 8th

    Caught up with Alonso & Sainz in the Drivers Standings. No big gaps at this end of the table.. so he's a good chance of gaining more places soon

    Screenshot 2025-07-28 at 12.14.34 PM.png

    Out the front, Piastri continued his edge over Norris

    Nice quali for LL and Racing Bulls. They'll be hoping to convert another good chance for points

    Lewis Hamilton was a magnificent driver back in the day. But those times are long gone. Getting old is a bitch, but he's got to face the reality that he's not the driver he once was.

    He should retire and enjoy the millions that he's earned.

    Something doesn't seem right at Ferrari. Both drivers are constantly bitching at their race engineers, way beyond just the odd spat.
