    Exactly what I was thinking with that comment or him taking a hammer to the door to get his locked cat out

    They likely make no added ad revenue off the sport because the time it's aired. It becomes more valuable to a streaming service because its live sport and its hours of content. I think the move to Apple will be a great thing... Now I have one more sub I need to purchase fml...

    Agree. Especially since I have a Roku TV so it and F1TV hate each other with the 4K upgrade

    Woof, $40 bucks for an MLS pass. Surely if they went that route it’d be cheaper given the lower content amount…

    it’ll be more

    There’s a new tier to F1TV that is fancier. That top tier has the issues. I’ve been fine on the old tier and Roku

    It’s the super max premium whatever f1tv plan’s video not being super compatible with roku’s software, or so I’ve heard. The solution offered was to cancel and resubscribe at the lower tier, but I haven’t gotten around to it, and mostly AirPlay instead.

    I think you mean something along the lines of a system qb tom Brady being replaced by Patrick mahomes, vastly superior player in every way. Also max would never let his teammate win a title, unlike his soft ass merc predecessor.

    My takeaway here is that they either:
    A. Got caught with braking devices that were masking the negatives of their design and it suddenly became its true bad self, and there’s really no way to correct in in the cost cap and timeframe they had.

    B. They over corrected for braking devices being banned or in response to other teams finding pace, and made that window so narrow that even max couldn’t keep it all compliant 100% of the time.

    C. Newey never centralized anything and nobody left at Red Bull knew the correct way to literally and figuratively assemble the concepts into a rocket ship.

    Real question is whether Red Bull would have any constructors championships from the last decade but for being the most well-fed team in the world

    IMO too much smoke for this to not be happening. The question is whether Bottas will join him or if Alpine is going to give him a shot this year.

    I like Checo and Bottas as the lineup for caddy. Both popular drivers with good experience to help them get off the ground with driver feedback.

    Listened to The Race podcast today and a few interesting items that came out of the conversation.

    1) It does seem like Horner will be back in F1 very likely as an ownership group with Alpine
    2) It feels like Max is done with RB and this was a first step of a total reshape of the program under the RB racing umbrella and taken away from a stand alone model (what Horner has had)
    3) Racing Bulls may be eventually be for sale, Horner was the key of keeping it
    4) Charls may be courted as the replacement for Max but most likely to see Carlos Sainz taking that seat to pair with Yuki

    Charls isn't going anywhere unless he's absolutely sure they have a title winning car.

    I also listened to it

    I found it interesting as the person who floated his name also basically confirmed Max is gone... but he ultimately said they will sign Carlos

    That would be such a horrible lineup. Sainz is better off staying at Williams than that shit.

    I think people are really overestimating how desirable this red bull seat will be for the next 2-3 years until they figure out the engine. There is a good chance they are a midfield or lower team, and would be this year without Verstappen.

    With engine restrictions being taken off in 2026 I think you want to be on a works team… with that said RB doing this as a lone wolf with Ford just basically providing a sticker I would imagine teams like Mercedes and Ferrari are going to have a large advantage at the start of 2026
