Audi confirmed into F1 then. Supplying engines to Alfa Romeo, but surely they'll either go Audi, or back to Sauber by then?

It'll be Sauber-Audi, I'd imagine. Alfa are technically just a very involved sponsor, so I Imagine that'll end. That said, Sauber once competed as BMW Sauber Ferrari after BMW had left.

Sky F1 had an interview with Danny Ric earlier and he's been approached by at least 2 teams. Looks like it was Haas and Williams. He said he'd go back to Alpine but as the split wasn't exactly amicable he wasn't sure they'd have him back.....

Could get at shit-ton of sponsorship if they just called themselves Saudi

Could take a leaf out of Williams book

Should be a very interesting race today with a mixed up grid. Very much looking forward to it

Bet365 offering 5/4 on Max to win the race from 15th. To be fair, I can't disagree with that. So long as he doesn't get involved in any first corner incidents, he will slice through the field in no time.

Honestly can't see anything other than a Max win. He has the car on another level to anything else out there. And you just know Ferrari have got some absolute masterplan tucked away somewhere to screw Leclerc's chances of a comeback.

They’ll probably do something like make sainz pit on the last lap and lose him the victory

Nice shoutout for us from Christian Horner - the bid'll be in before we know it

Ha Brundle trying to get a Kev De Bruyne a drive in a Red Bull on his grid walk then, and Horner says only if he plays for Coventry City

 

[Paul Anthony]

Oh look, both Alpha Tauri's are suddenly starting from the pits. Nothing, I'm sure, to do with the fact there's a Red Bull that would benefit from having them out of the way.....

 

[Saddlebrains]

Max and red bull are taking the piss

I like how KDB gave a little laugh like “who?”

 

[Paul Anthony]

As if Leclerc not only failed to get fastest lap, but got done for speeding in the pits

The fact this has been around since 2017 and is still relevant is quite amazing.

Ferrari's strategy meeting

 

[Paul Anthony]

1kph over the limit they clocked him at. Ouch.

Fucking well boring now

Max will walk the next 2 at Zandvoort and Monza


He will wrap the title up with 5 to go at Singapore i feel

Yep. F1 can spin it how they want but it's still the same as before. One team well ahead of the rest. It's not competitive enough.
It's fine there's a bit better racing in the low point areas but DRS needs tweaking to prevent these continual "DRS trains" that are tedious.
Perez is the new Bottas. Don't know how good he is but he's driving the 2nd best car so is going to up there but still way behind Verstappen.
Liberty printing money, reducing costs to keep enough cars on the grid but not improving key element.

 

[Paul Anthony]

CRB rules for McLaren, so Piastri will drive for them from next season.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Will be Gasly at Alpine and Mick to Alpha Tauri i reckon. Leaving the Haas seat free and also the Williams seat when Latifi goes

 

[Paul Anthony]

Some moron has thrown a flare on the track just as Q2 starts. Hope they find the prick who did it and get them kicked out and banned.

 

[Frostie]

Genuinely impressive how Ferrari find new ways to screw up every single race

 

[Paul Anthony]

That's very suspect from Alpha Tauri. They should have had ls him in the box. Call me a cynic, but I can't help feeling Helmut Marko was on the line to them there.....

 

[Saddlebrains]

Ferrari now the 3rd fastest team after starting the season as fastest. Specialists in fucking up ever since Michael left

Shame because we were on for a great ending then

Very strange, but I reckon Yuki undid his seatbelts thinking he was getting out of the car, then carried on after being told.

Cannot see Red Bull doing something like that when they're 100+ clear in the constructors and max 93 clear in the drivers

 

[xcraigx]

Aside from the winner, I can't call this!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Sainz is having an eventful race....

 

[Paul Anthony]

Max will have it. He'll have loads of pace.

might as well have as a draft for each race

 

[Saddlebrains]

Was genuinely rooting for a merc 1 2 here

They've fucked it

 

[xcraigx]

Merc are usually so good with strategy but they are never keeping a faster car with newer and faster tyres on behind them for any length of time. They should have had a 2-3.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Good race today i feel with a jumbled up grid

 

[Paul Anthony]

Leclerc's not closing that down.
