McLaren sitting pretty.

If Max got this legit, kudos to RB and :salute: to that snake ass creh. But if these MFs breached again :ohlawd:
They're dirtbags from top to bottom at RB but you have to give credit where credit is due.

If RB just had a big advantage in one area then I would be skeptical about them breaching regulations but they're ahead in almost everything.

From big to small things they're either on top or close to the top. Made their fast engine more reliable, have the best aero, great tire degradation, somehow even have an advantage at using DRS, were ready for the fuel changes, amazing pit stops, amazing strategy (only for one driver though :sas2:).

Sounds like PR for George was supposed to let him go. That McLaren 1 lap pace is giving a false sense of Red Bull being challenged. Supposedly Piastri was flat out all race long when it was a literal Sunday drive for Verstappen.

When is Toto back smh, this team can't run properly without him it seems
I'm going to sound like a nut hugger (:dame:), but Merc have a similar problem to what the FIA did in 2021. You have a young driver who is supposed to be "best of the next"who is very talented, but clearly lacking the stuff to put them over the top. That's why they're so lenient with the BS. GR clearly went against team orders. With Lewis on Softs on the gripper side of the track, the strategy was borderline obvious. But GR was desperate to make an impact and sabotaged his teammate. Merc is clearly trying their best not to see GR broken coming into next season. They even had to save Little Big Brain from himself during the sprint when he was demanding to pit during the last safety car. Ironically, getting lucky with safety cars last season is what has him erroneously thinking he's a strategic mastermind.

They made Bernie pay a 650 million pound fine and walk away.

Man is worth 2.9 billion.

Didn't pay tax for 18 years.

The British government is broke so a retroactive shakedown is reasonable but the optics of letting him walk is shameful. Ecclestone needs to die quietly behind bars (preferably without the hairpiece).

I wanted to believe but I knew it wasn't on into T1. The pace is there though. I expect him to jump Lando at the start, then either hassle Leclerc for a while or let him fall apart on his own.
