    Possibly, he could also take KMag seat at Haas.

    A lot depends on Sainz and if he goes to Sauber/Audi.

    Still hard to believe Sainz could drop out of the top teams given his performance. Love the sport, but it's not the meritocracy I wish it was.

    It's tough, but he doesn't exactly have many options.
    Mercedes and him have talked a ton, but they can't agree on the contract length
    Red Bull - sounds like the Verstappens blocked him
    Aston is now full with Alonso coming back, unless Lance retires
    McLaren and Ferrari are now locked up long term

    Sauber Audi is going to be a full works team, which isn't nothing. But doubtful they are competitive at the top until at least 2030 and Sainz would be 35-36.

    Wild that his best option after Audi is Williams

    Hard to understand why they don't put Antonelli at Williams for a couple years and give Sainz the two year deal at Mercedes. Per your prior post, where else is Antonelli likely to go?

    Sainz wanting more than 2 years is the hold up I believe.

    Today's driver rumors:

    Which is interesting because the undercurrent has been the Verstappens blocked him, who knows. Helmut has also always been pretty anti-Checo so this could just be him stirring up shit to fuck with Checo.

    Been a lot of media coverage around Stroll and his future. Several from the team including Krack and Alonso backing him and how important he is.




    While Stroll himself has been more ambiguous

    Takeaways:
    Marko just wanted to publicly shit on checo for “being wrong” and now “he’s listening” and provide cover on why sainz won’t be there.

    Lance Stroll can’t drive a car that isn’t absolutely perfect because he sucks.

    I think the same on Marko just fucking with Checo.

    My thought on the Stroll thing is they are all trying to build up how important he is so that when he steps away it doesn't look like they pushed him out because he sucks.

    What are people expecting current employees to say about the son of the boss?

    Also Marko is a fucking vile piece of shit... that comment was out of line for so many reasons.

    Why is Marko hated? I saw the bit about he and Max and Max's dad being tight, but I've also seen itt where he is a racist?

    Also, nepo Lance sucks

    We can start here...

    "Checo has fluctuations because he’s South American and his head isn’t as focused as Max or Sebastian"

    He's so fucking stupid and racist that he doesn't know Mexico is located in North America and not South America, but when your a racist does it really matter?

    I added F1 tv, what are some great archived races to watch? I’ve watched more the last two seasons, so I’d prefer any with the recent drivers, but if there’s great ones from further back that’d be great too.

    Kym Illman says the grass keeps catching fire because the grass is painted green. So the fresh “painted” tarmac is mixing in with the sparks from the skid plate and then landing on the grass. Catching that paint on fire.
