That's the issue for the 2025 Spa-Francorchamps race weekend.
In other words : It will be a gamble for all the teams (especially on Friday and Saturday)

It's like that here now, rain/sun..urgh!

Never been a big fan of sprint races but cooler temps + unpredictable weather + upgrades is going to make it entertaining to say the least.

Welcome to Spa

The Wolff/Max situation is now sorted.

It was the Thai Red Bull owner (51%) Chalerm Yoovidhya.

Chalerm Yoovidhya wants to stop the Red Bull exodus , because the Red Bull Team is a sinking ship..

Upgrades and just one practice session is a bad combination.

so regarding the recent announcement about an announcement - and it's been announced that there will be no announcement?

It has to do with the Red Bull budget cap..
The new RB upgrades are for the number 1 car to fight vs McLaren and to fight (still) for the WDC.
If you had the money (a limited amount) and you had to take into account a budget limitation..
Would you invest the limited amount of money on YUKI's car to fight for the WDC ?

Gime me a break ..

Budget cap means that there are zero extras of any parts, ever?

No wonder Horner got sacked. Dude was trying to protect Max from having a teammate that could actually do something.

Feel free to suggest to Toto Wolff to replace Russell with Tsunoda for a couple of hundred million euros.

Didn't get home empty-handed: Horner's gone. To him, that's a bogey down for the WCC. Remains to be seen whether Horner will replace Vasseur in 2026.

It was inevitable that Horner would walk soon and I think Mekies will be fantastic in getting the team back to strength.
