luckily I can still extort money from relatives via wechat.

RED POCKET PLZZZZZZ

You're married you don't get shit no mo!

Who told you da secret !!!!?????

This is ancient Chinese knowledge

They even have similar restrictions within specific citis, so visiting Shanghai from another part of China is like visiting another country

It's official. Danny has joined RB as their 3rd driver to handle testing, simulations and promotional events. I can't help but think this put stress on Checo and he'll have to up his game a bit more next season.

This definately puts Checo in a more difficult spot. You better believe they're going to be comparing laptimes. Plus, Daniel has a much better relationship with Max than I feel Max has with Checo.

The only stress it'll put on Checo is during contract negotiations, unless Danny can find "it" back

Seems to me more like ensuring they put pressure on checo to always follow team orders.

"you can be replaced"

I'm of the belief that Daniel never lost "it", just that the McLaren car never really suited him. I think in equal machinery he would be faster than Checo.

contracts tho. These guys aren't free agents.

Checo makes 18 mil + a season. And he's signed for 2023 and 2024. Would he walk away from that to join another team? All this guy has done is helped this team.

I'm not sure acquiring the rights to DR (who's actually being paid be Mclaren) has anything to do w Checo.

They get the publicity and positivity they badly need, and hopefully change the off season narrative.

Aston Martin rear wing banned for 2023 season

yep, he's quicker raw speed wise, but I always get the impression that Checo is a more consistent performer than DR

Rumor has it Binotto is out.

Rumors really cooking too, because they want the guy running the Alfa team to take over !

Binotto made his bed after Austria as there were numerous strategic errors throughout the season. After writing off 2 years of results so they could push all their chips in on this year, anything else than being in the running for constructors championships would be a failure.

and Charles literally will not speak to him. All communication is through intermediaries.

They aren't even denying the story. juicy DTS material

The rental company that owns the R34 is not happy

i'm sure LH will make them whole - if he hasn't already

great PR for the rental company

Honestly what the fuck do you think is going to happen renting out r34 GTRs?

I have to imagine that they're not as pissed off as they sound, but they have to put up that strong response or every Tom, Dick and Harry is going to think they're Lewis Hamilton the next time they rent a car.

^

Yea, not saying it's right. But LH probably gave them more profit than damages by posting that clip.

Plus... you are a rental company... that rents out R34 GT-Rs, I mean...

As Jeremy Clarkson puts it "The fastest car in the world is a rental car."

////////////////////////////

Rental company probably do need to respond even just from a liability/insurance point of view, since the rental contract was under a different person, it wasn't Lewis who signed the dotted line.

Otherwise, woot, great publicity, from 7 (8) time F1 champion no less.

Valtteri is amazing

can you guess who drew Max in this year's F1 grid secret santa? :fullofwin:
