even more boring than last year now that we know absolutely nothing has changed and nothing will change until the next big rule shakeup (maybe)
highlights of the race
the Stake cars look cool, the RB cars look kind of cool
Yuki is still pretty funny to watch/hear
Carlos' stock just keeps rising - where he lands will be the next big F1 story.
DC's commentary is the best. F1TV ftw
Haas sucks, Alpine sucks even more. Were these guys not finally allowed to up the output of their power unit's? i thought they'd get a season reset, but maybe the PU's rules are committed until the next car evolution
D2S notes: only watched the first episode which was a snooze fest. Who gives a shit about the Strolls. Hope they get out of the sport (and the car making business)
Max lapped half the field and was like 1 pitstop ahead of the ferraris lol
scary part is we just dunno how much more pace Max can dish out... he controlled from start to finish, was never even remotely in danger /// scary to think if he has pushed... how much more of a gap could he have done...

Well.... I dont like Max, but there is no denying his talent is off the charts.
Other than raw driver skill which I think has a small but not insignificant part in speed, another big reason you have to remember is that the car is built around Max and his driving style. Because Max is the no. 1 driver, if both drivers have conflicting inputs during development, the whole team will take Maxs needs amd wants everytime. That is just the unfortunate truth for Checo. You can only do so much with setup, but the car from the ground up is designed to perform at its peak when Max is behind the wheel.

The whole thing with RedBull and Jos Verstappen/Horner smells a lot like Jos Verstappen wanting to push Horner out and potentially get himself the job, however unlikely the job may land to him in the event that Horner does depart. They need to keep him out of the paddock.
Supposedly these are the leaked files that was distributed around the paddock.

I just saw a clip on IG with Albon talking about Max as a team mate, he said as the season goes on he wants the car tighter and tighter and tighter (albon compared this to gaming with a mouse and cranking the sensitivity up to the max where a slight flinch sends the cursor across the screen)
He said as a driver who drove the “same” car, he found that in having that tight of a front end, it gets to the point where you aren’t in that float state or whatever you call it where you’re acting on instinct instead of thinking, he said it became increasingly hard to not think about each turn, which, as a result, usually ends up in crashing or at the very least, getting out of position and overtaken

Lol, if those are in fact real texts, they're pretty PG, but definately seems like something was going on. And people who shorten "you" to "u" in texts always bother me. Makes you sound like a freaking gradeschooler.

RB second seat is a curse, would be like to trying to run the 100m sprint in shoes molded for someone else's feet of a completely different size and shape.

Some one said they were too elaborate to have been faked. I don't think so, there's not THAT many messages unless there's even more to it. I don't have time to go through all of them, but the few I picked out the content certainly isn't great but it's not as spicy as I thought it would be
Can someone TLDR the leaked files thing? Or point me to a very short article saying what is going on?
The internal investigation turned out to be a nothingburger so whoever who's got a vested interest in this emailed a link to a gdrive of the said incriminating conversation to F1, FIA, all the F1 team bosses, and a bunch of journalists.
I'm unsure if the above drive encompasses all that was emailed or if it was the original gdrive link, but of the few screenshots that I sampled it wasn't that spicy if not slightly inappropriate.
There was a warning that more would be released during the race weekend but nothing have since come up.
Ricciardo absolutely shitting the bed. He's washed.
