On the other hand :
I just read ,George Russell confirmed : Mercedes wants to get MAX , because MAX is best driver of the world.


What I think is : Which team wouldn't want MAX ?

Yes, the flexible wings will be banned by the new FIA regulations in the Spain GP.

BTW : Charlie and LEW got a new Ferrari PU .
MAX and YUKI got a new Honda PU.

The Arabs want to buy the Aston Martin team .
Don't think they want to keep Lance .

It's no secret that Honda and the Arabs want MAX (whatever it takes)!

If RB continue to upgrade performance and Mclaren get pegged back a couple tenths I think it's truly going to be a wild season. Also if the Mclaren starts to get edgy I think Pia is prone to more mistakes like we are seeing Nor succumb to now.
drivers are only half the picture. there's an entire team behind them that makes or breaks their weekend. i watched this and i wasn't sure if it was Max driving or GP driving, the guys behind the driver are equally important. what has McLaren got behind Oscar?

I wouldn't trust what Horner says, he said Perez was staying too.
But with the performance of the RB being half decent, they should have a grip on Max.
At the end of the day Max decides where he wants to go not Horner.

Ultimate Q3 lap. No lift in turns 7 and 9 = maximum risk in the danger zone = balls of steel.

It takes skills, experience and guts to outperform the faster McLaren.

Rumor has it that Public Investment Fund (PIF) (Saudi Arabia) contributes in paying Cristiano Ronaldo an annual salary of 200 million. Italian press pretends that PIF is willing to pay Verstappen $300 million for a three-year deal at Aston Martin ($100 million annually = less than Ronaldo). They want him + money is no issue. Verstappen getting pole position in Saudi Arabia yesterday: PIF saw that too, no doubt about that. Maybe, if he manages to win at Jeddah tonight, PIF could further raise the stakes to finally shake off any Mercedes bid: also Jim Ratcliffe (INEOS) hunts to get Verstappen on board at Mercedes. Russell hasn't gotten a Mercedes contract extension yet because he's in the waiting room for whatever Verstappen decides.

Once PIF will have written Lawrence Stroll a big check to get the Aston Martin team, Lance Stroll's F1 days will be over.
