To be honest, Perez was always a good driver. Perhaps RBR knows that the car isn’t really where it appears to be, and it’s Max that brings it there. Then another driver would not make a difference. And with Perez they know they will not have an intra-team war like Merc did with Rosberg and Hamilton.

Now watch Max wrapping up the constructors on his own like he did last year.

I think they decided that the whole saga around Horny Horner was enough “shaking things up”

The funny thing is that the center support of the halo (that’s what it is called if you want to Google more info), is not in the field of view. A driver very rarely looks straight ahead. Mostly they look at the apex of the next corner.

You can always try 🤣

They are a big sponsor. It makes sense, and to be honest, the HP-logos didn’t really stick out to me untill I started looking for them.

Well, if they are pointing that way, something didn’t go as planned. :)

You see Ferrari? Are you paying attention? That’s how you do a different livery.

With your “blue” Miami-livery…

Sargeant. Not a single doubt in my mind.

The bodywork on these cars does not dent. It’s carbon, so either it breaks or it is fine.

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting much to be honest, but this is extremely minimal…

Hahahahaha, that was a lot of fuss about a different color on the front-wing!

You do know that the salaries of the top 3 highest paid team members are excluded from the cost cap right? And the salaries of the drivers too by the way, so 5 people in total.

Not really I would think. Like I said, these contracts and their adjustments take complete legal-departments to set up. Horner is CEO, so I imagine it would be next to impossible for him to not know about such a significant change to a contract of his most important and highest paid employee.

But without the whole team knowing like the article suggests is way beyond impossible. That would mean the legal people were not even involved.

And what is even more interesting: Insiders have revealed that this addendum to the original contract was brought in unilaterally by the Verstappens and Marko, without the Red Bull Formula 1 team or Horner knowing anything about it at the time.

Marko was able to do this because he is one of two directors at Red Bull Racing and can therefore act on behalf of the team.

Yeah, I’m not buying this (red) bullshit. These contracts are the result of legal teams and lawyers. These are not the type of contracts that you scribble an addendum on with 2 or 3 people behind closed doors. Not even if you are Marko.

If that is how you feel, then I suggest you stop watching. It might improve your quality of life if I read your comment right.

But maybe other people (like me) have a different opinion, so stating it as a fact is a bit much in my opinion.

It’s not always about the money though.

Exactly my point.

There is just zero chance they give the last penalty point.

Or the other way around, if they think she is the one behind the email to journalists with the whatsapp-pictures.
