I would honestly love to join but can't think of anything to contribute as this season has been so dry unfortunately. Credit to Max for his talent and dedication but it is a struggle at the moment for me.We can party with three of us.
Interesting you say that because (behind Max) I actually think it's been one of the most competitive seasons in recent history. Aston coming out of the woodwork, Ferrari slipping back, Williams regaining some competitiveness, Merc's ebbs and flows, and now McLaren coming back into the picture as well. I think it's going to be an immense second half of the season, even if Max continues to be unchallenged.I would honestly love to join but can't think of anything to contribute as this season has been so dry unfortunately.

We won't see mid-race refuelling again because of the inherent danger, but they're doing more with the tyres. No tyre blankets next season will add an increased element of risk for pit stops which should spice things up.Would love to see the field opened up by the stewards by fostering more strategic differentiation in terms of the rules on pit stopping, tires generally, and maybe even fuelling.
If rumours are to be believed, the times he was setting at the tyre test would’ve been good enough for P2 on Sunday. He looks damn good again too - refreshed, confident, and found his love for the sport again.RE: Riccardo, I'm not getting my hopes up, he looked so done last season. The AT is a shit car, I would be over the moon if he got points. But it does feel great having his personality back in the sport, he seems to be a proper crowd favourite of everyone.
Thic Ricc is back.If rumours are to be believed, the times he was setting at the tyre test would’ve been good enough for P2 on Sunday. He looks damn good again too - refreshed, confident, and found his love for the sport again.
The AT is an absolute dog, but I’m optimistic that it’s going to be a little exciting.
Mate, what a disaster weekend for Checo - getting out qualified on merit by the significantly-poorer sister team, crashing out at the first turn on the back of your own error, and all of this at your home GP.Thic Ricc is back.
Hype train is real. Surely Checo just tore up his chances for '24. We're gonna get Max & Danny for Redbull next year. Danny will consistently come 5-8th but will be safer than Checo because his PR is amazing.
What's incredible (and with all due respect), is that he's not that interesting or funny when you actually listen to him. He's not a brat like half the grid, has a cute smile and is humble. His PR team is working wonders.Only so many with wins going around and he's arguably the most marketable driver with the ability to speak.
Red Bull is a marketing company at this point. He's very popular in the US and the push is massive with Miami and Vegas now on.
I would love to see a rugby team swap with F1 for the day. Watching Danny Ricc in a scrum or Lando Norris on the wing. Then trying to fit Skelton and Bell into F1 cars and let them race around Albert Lake.Being personable is most of it. He' can just shoot the shit on podcasts and tv interviews.
He enjoys the rest of life as much as racing. A lot of these guys are robots or extremely trained to sell an image like Hamilton.
