Think the play for Sainz is Audi. They know how to build a race car and they’re innovative going by their dominance at Le Mans.

Audi is a 2026 play though. So where does he go next year?

As much of a DR fan I am, I do think his time is at an end. But I also think Yukis immaturity will keep him out of the Red Bull seat. I like the idea of dumping one for Lawson and getting Carlos next Max on a one year deal. Lets Liam get a season under his belt and Carlos a chance to either stay or go to Audi in 26

Sainz seems to get a free pass when he has bad races and called a great driver when he has good races. He was the worst driver on the grid in Abu Dhabi. He was only given the crazy strategy because he had sucked up until that point and barely passed anyone. The only excuse people can give him is maybe the car was not rebuilt properly after the BS in Las Vegas.

Apparently Jos is publicly pushing for Horners ousting now

I wouldn't be surprised if he is behind the "leak" in some way or another.

Jeez talk about pissing away an opportunity. Big RB not going to like that. Just imagine if he clipped wheels.

I read somewhere that the employee Horner was fixated on has a close relationship with Jos so maybe they are fricking.

Horner simping on a co-worker pales in comparison with the shite Jos has been accused of when it comes to women.

I saw the rumor that Jos is plowing the PA as well.

Some Game of Thrones shite going on.

What if Red Bull just said “Thanks but no thanks” to Max and his dad? Either Checo or replacement driver for Max likely win WDC with the current car set up for them and how they like it.

That would be the ultimate power play from Horner.

The article literally says the opposite, that he is rumored to be privately doing it, he publically denied it

0.0 % chance

Also Max is a grown arse man, Jos isn’t making decisions

When asked about the possibility of Verstappen joining Mercedes in 2025, Wolff responded: “Anything is possible.” This comes after reports that Jos Verstappen said that the Red Bull team could “explode”, and it is “in danger of being torn apart” if Christian Horner stays on as team principal. #F1

Isn't Jos involved with the woman that Rapey Spice was texting?

Its a love triangle... Maybe Jos and Horners tips touched one night in the mix of things

Saward's been hinting for a few weeks that the story is pretty crazy, and if anyone in the paddock knows the story, it's Saward.

Then how do you interpret him saying "The team is in danger of being torn apart. It can't go on the way it is. It will explode. He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing the problems."

I thought it was a good race.

I look forward to watching McLaren and Mercedes duke it out all year. I also look forward to watching Sainz and LeClerc in the Scuderia Civil War. You already know they ain’t skeered.

I thought Yuki should’ve refused to let Danny Ric pass given he was close to overtaking Magnussen himself.

Speaking of Magnussen, the HAAS didn’t chew up tires as badly as last season. I’m hopeful there can be a couple of races where HAAS can net some pernts.

Does anyone know why Sargeant essentially parked his car off track for a minute?

The Alpine fanbois are in for a rough season.

Would be great if he did a book once he was done traveling the circus every week.
