Max is ok with Vettel replacing Albon

Vettel spotted chatting with Horner

May be it's why Albon was a bit aggressive on Sunday.



Seb Knew.....

Vettel to RB would be okay with me if it happened but I think Alex is a great #2 for Max and plays into the 1-2 dynamic, while the same prob wouldn't be the case with Seb.

With that said which driver pair do you see mounting a challenge to Mercedes. Max/Vet or Max/Alex?

The change would be a tough one for Albon but at least he will be able to relate with Gasly or Kvyat...

Honda is done with Alonso. They screwed him at last years Indy. Basically vetoed Alonso driving a Honda powered car in the 11th hour so he ended up in an unprepared McLaren Chevy and couldn’t even qualify for the race.

The Honda salt is unmeasurable.

Agreed. I wasnt a big fan of Albon initially I think he came up too quick but I actually think hes been doing OK!

So the big news was that Mateschitz says he wants Vettel in RBR in 2021 and Helmut says no he should take a year off and re-assess. womp womp.

My Williams merchandise came through..

"We have no place for Vettel," Marko told Auto Motor und Sport. "We have Albon and we are happy with him. Albon is half Thai and Red Bull is 51 per cent Thai.

So that's how Albon got his seat? :D

I know, I know different situation....

Leclerc getting in hot water for going back to Monaco and partying with friends, would be comical if he has to quarantine for 2 weeks now

Bottas went back to Monaco also. After all the work they did to get racing back like convincing countries to bypass quarantine and keeping teams in a bubble, seems like a pretty dumb move.

That was an awesome Q1 haha.

Williams into Q2. Latifi drove so much better but got shafted by yellow flags. McLaren way up there with the big boys! Too bad for Norris 3 place penalty.

Ham GOAT in the rain. Just trolls everyone then shows what he can do last lap. Jesus Christ.

McLaren 3rd. Again. Oh boy what a great season.

That was so entertaining to watch as I was baking my sourdough loaf. What is the forecast for tomorrow?

Probably dry. Here's the forecast for tomorrow. Local start time is 3:05pm.

Carlos “No Ragrats” Sainz

Max did really well to keep that car from hitting a wall. The initial snap was enough to put him into that close (pit lane?) wall. Hamilton was just a man among children today as well. Loved seeing Russell in Q2, almost got the two Ferrari cars. Wasn't much in it.

Best result already.

Damn thought Verstappen could hold it with those tyres, but RBR and McLaren did great today!
