Is the viking so dumb that he couldn't envisage there was a danger of that happening and also knowing that is a favourite spot for the photographers.

MAX will probably have a tough time again at Montreal as you predict my friend but after that it's the smooth European tracks, F* kerbs

Also TachRab is confused why Ocon is sending tweets on social media of how he's 'hurt' at some online abuse he's getting for his spectacular brain dead launch over Gasly, Rab says he doesn't know what Ocon's trying to prove and should basically put a zip on it with his grovelling SM posts.

Yeah . As I said , the RB20 has a big fundamental problem and it won't be easy to fix ...

Worst case scenario (!)
If Red Bull can't fix the setup issues in this season I can see MAX taking a 'sabbatical year in 2025 .

At least , that's what I heard . But let's keep in mind It's just an option at this moment.

I can't see it being the tub/frame mould and it's still in the back of my mind that there could be something political behind this to bunch them up more. There's so much money in F1 that manufacturers depend on sales etc and we know the dirty tricks and clout Merc had in their heydays that it may be moving away from driver talent, I sincerely hope I'm talking nonsense and MAX isn't being used as a pawn !

Next time you think the Monaco GP is a nightmare check out the Indy Car race on the streets of Detroit. Eight cautions and 47 laps under yellow to complete the 100-lap race won on fuel economy.

I want my two hours back!

The interesting thing is that that stupid temporary travesty in Detroit replaced Belle Isle Park track. Ain't politics wonderful?

I wouldn't mind if they went back to the V6 1.6 twin turbo engine era...up tp 1500bhp in quali is always a win compared to this half EV POS being forced on us by a misguided gov.body that know jack s.
