Max has a horse shoe up his ass after that qualifying (round 2, round 3 was just typical Max).

While America is a pretty big revenue stream, it really only has been exploited since the Netflix series started a handful of years ago. That has had a MUCH bigger impact for North American market than any single US driver joining the grid. There has been American drivers in the past, but that...

Could be somewhat possible but definitely complicated. Teams technically can’t share information at least not freely. So what does happen is RB can supply some parts to their second team, but that team would still have to do their own work as far as aero and different setups. The FIA would...

Honestly, the race wasn't too bad overall. I'm not a huge fan of anyone to lead a race and basically not be challenged on the track for 99% of it. But like the rest of the season, if you ignore Max, the field is pretty exciting and close. That's not to say that Max isn't deserving of where he...

Realistically, Danny Ric would have to finish the season amazingly and Perez slump or fall out of 2nd in driver standings in order for there to be a change at RB this year or next.

With half the season left, I am not sure McLaren can catch Merc for 2nd, but I think it is possible to catch Ferrari and maybe even Aston. Regardless they are in a great spot.

I did and man that’s a costly break, I read they are each valued at around $45k and take months to make.

I think there may have been some misunderstanding from your previous comments. The way I read it, doesn't mean others feel the same way, is that you implied there is no way that the Supra is produced and sold at a loss, and that all of Toyota's products are sold to make a profit directly...

Totally agree. It's gets eyes on the brand and butts in the doors. Which in turn creates sales for not only those products but all their mainstream offerings also.

These companies are about making profit, you are correct. But if profit at all cost is the only thing these companies cared about, they'd only sell pickups and CUV's, there would be no Corolla, Camry, Supra, GR86, etc, etc. Much like Porsche, they use their big profit/big sales products to...

The reality is we do not know what the true savings are without the actual cost that Toyota pays from the parts supplier. These are just based off how much the parts cost from the dealer. The loss of certain colours or options are likely more about streamlining the build and lowering the cost...

Much like everyone else I’m happy for Ric to be back on the grid. It will be interesting to see quickly he can reacquaint himself to F1 racing. Don’t expect him to out perform Yuki right out of the gate, he has not done much if any sim work with their vehicle. I think these next two races...

No doubt, it's not just the car, Max is one of the best drivers on the grid. I'd put him Lewis and Alonso in the same tier. The next tier down I'd have Leclerc, Norris, Russel. Max only really pushes his limit in qualifying and rarely ever goes beyond that limit. In race he has no need to...

Max has and will slam into walls, but only if someone is actually fast enough to make him push the limits. He hasn't had to do that this season at all really, and last season only on occasion. The years prior to that, when they were closely contending with Mercedes and Lewis, he would push to...

Alonso being this happy? Not for quite awhile. He is certainly enjoying himself. Have to admit that Max hasn’t been so unlikeable this season either, I hope it’s him maturing, but I suspect it might be because he is so far ahead of the pack.

I actually thought that for once Ferrari did an okay job with strategy this race. To go from 10&11 to 4&5 is no easy task. Mind you they'd likely have been a bit lower had Russel not crashed. Of all the races with Ferrari doing something different than everyone else, this is the only time I...

I think Red Bull is a great team, full of great and talented people. I just personally am not a fan of Max, Christian, or Helmet. But that’s 3 people out of hundreds that go into that team. I think Perez is a fantastic driver and the best teammate on the grid, but definitely not as good of a...

The thing is, the FIA go over each car with a fine tooth comb, so they would already be aware of anything that was against the rules. The FIA are constantly checking the vehicles to make sure they are within spec. So while all the teams were happy to see the floor of the RB, it doesn't 100%...

The point of the cost cap was to make the sport more even. You are right that it's normal for teams to go season after season with the championship. You are also correct that there was/is corruption in the FIA. That being said, I feel like the cost cap has at the very least made the middle...

Where Toto is also part owner of the team, I'm not certain if his wage is one of the top on the team or not. Typically it's as you laid out, the manager and head engineer are the two top salaries employees and not counted towards the spending cap. I'm also unsure if reserve drivers salaries...
