Gianpiero Lambiase has been replaced by Simon Rennie .

The sinking ship....

GP has been promoted earlier this year. (beyond race engineer). perhaps a trial of work from home in this role?

if ship is sinking Max won't be staying.

Apart from Haas and Stake, all teams brought some upgrades to their cars for this race weekend and after seeing the practice session, it seems that Aston Martin's wing upgrades has worked very well for them as both drivers finished the session in the top 10. Mercedes who made specific changes to the front and rear of the car also looked good with P4 and P6 in the only practice session for this race weekend. It will be interesting to see how all the teams perform in today's sprint qualifying and will we see any big surprises after all these upgrades.

I really hope that MAX moves to Mercedes as the 2026 season will be disaster with that Ford joke under the hood .
And Wache and the 2026 active aero will be a big fail (!)

Don't get me wrong , as a big Red Bull fan I really like the Red Bull Team and the dark blue stealth color of the RB21 .
If MAX stays at Red Bull , he will regret it and the 2026 season will be a big disappointment (!)

Even if they get a puncture the innard flaps of those chewing gum tyres hold the sidewalls together criss crossing the sidewalls preventing tyre from coming off the rim..a form of run flats.

Took a chance then and got himself into braking deeper with decreasing radii, the age old too fast for the turn.

LEW lost his Benz space ship in warpspeed and he's lost in time (!)

LEW went through a wormhole today . One day at the Spa track was 7 years for LEW
