Looks like Stroll tested positive for Covid.

Kinda funny when everyone suspected it, and tons of news that came out saying he didn't bypass protocols or anything and didn't have it. Why the cover story? Wonder if it's because Villeneuve called him out for not driving even tho he had the shits.

Well the real issue is why RP had to lie about it. They could have come into contact without anyone knowing for that entire weekend.

Daddy Stroll is now also confirmed.

In other news, Grosjean and Magnussen lose their rides for next year. Wonder if Haas is going to try to get Hulkenberg.

Sounds like they are trying to get some paid drivers. The entire financial situation of F1 is unsustainable.

So Haas isn't leaving? Seems like they might be.

Haas says they're looking for pay drivers with talent.

[schocker]

The stroll news articles were weird as it he tested negative, then had the shits and stayed in his motor home and a doctor came and said he didn't need to be tested and then flew home privately and tested positive there. The entire team flew home together and all tested negative when they got back.

Supposedly Mazepin would be on board with all the $$$. His dad is the one who was also trying to buy force india. Looks like they want drivers with money which I don't know if Hulkenburg has that backing.

[triplep]

Is Perez a pay driver? Might be a good fit for him if he needs a seat for next year.

[rage2]

Perez is a pay driver. Probably the best pay driver on the grid ATM.

[jonnycat]

im thinking Haas scoop Schumacher and Perez, long shot to Hulk and Schumacher but hoping hulk goes to Red bull and Albon just loses seat

Perez comes to mind

Edit... seems like i'm late to the party

[sexualbanana]

I don't really understand what a pay driver is. Can someone explain that? What's the opposite of that?

[OTown]

"A pay driver is a driver for a professional auto racing team who, instead of being paid by the owner of his car, drives for free and brings with him either personal sponsorship or personal or family funding to finance the team's operations."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_driver

[jonnycat]

factory backed teams with lots of ways of bringing in their own money from Car sales, energy drink sales etc. can pay for the best driver.

Teams without as much money can bring in drivers that are decent, and can compete but not the top shelf, but they usually have lots of sponsorship money that comes with them which means the team can use it to further develop their car and make it faster.

Latiffi for Williams, his dad owns Sofina foods and he brings in i think $30M sponsor money per year

Not gonna lie, but I think I am a fan of this course. I like all the elevation changes which create blind corners in some spots. Should be an interesting race this weekend!

So if, for example, Perez went to Williams, his sponsors now show up on his Williams car?

Such as turn 1 with Lance and Max?
