I mean the drivers style from MAX vs Checo is like day and night .
Sure . Checo won today 3-4 postions , but by the fast RB pit .
Other than that he was kissed by LEW's dirty tricks and Checo's race was over .
In other words : Checo didn't performed a thing ...
Won't speak about his last 5-6 (bad)! races , that's why I think Checo's is even too bad to be RB's second driver .
In the beginning of this season he said : I can beat MAX !
The Mexican made a joke of himself ...

Can't wait to see what he tomorrow can do !

Need Lando in that second RB

British racing media again with their continous smear against RB.

Brundle actually saying that Hammy can't just disappear....Like Checo can...
Hammy drove Checo to the edge of the track and then drifted into him. It's that simple.
If Checo would have dodged the attack, he would have been driving in the gravelpit with all four wheels. And as Hammy drove his front wheel into Checo's sidepod there is no doubt over who was in front.
Looks a bit like the Hammy Copse scenario. Luckily this time no one got hurt, but this also happened on high speed.

A bit ? One would think this is the 2021 Silverstone Copse Turn situation from LEW vs MAX !

HAM knows every dirty trick in the book concocted in brackly and as he can't get to MAX then Checo there was an easy target

Can be . They (MAX and Lando) are already the best friends anyway

^I don't think it's good idea for friends to be teammates as competition could drive them to be enemies. We can look at Rosberg/Hamilton from the '16 season, Senna/Prost which was particularly bad and of course the Pironi/Villeneuve situation back then.

Nice hats my friend but...I do prefer my standard original one and still sold by Jos

The Orangeboom Max polo shirt waiting to be put on before the start of the race !

Checo is remaining at Red Bull for 2024, Marko has confirmed that the Mexican is back on track and it was just rumours that others would be considered as Max's teammate. They will have to look elsewhere or stay where they are.

Good morning from the track.

The sun is almost shining and rain is not forecast until 6pm so should be a good day.

It is absolutely freezing though, 15 degrees!

What happened to summer for goodness sake!

HFW003 · 07-30-2023, 05:09 AM

A good omen for today, an Aussie wins the F2 race!

Well done Jack!

Was just listening to BBC radio 4 in the car just now, skipping through the channels, I don't normally tune into this as it's the ''snowflake climate activist beeb' and Wolff of all ppl was on there in a pre recorded interview with a woman presenter asking him what he tells his children when they question him about his part owned F1 teams effect on the environment (what else) and first he said that they have never asked him lol and that and if they did he'd gave the standard reply that f1 is reducing emissions etc etc.
So typical of the 'beeb' to involve bringing in pushing children into the conversation and for his choice of music he chose The Power of Love by Frankie GtH.

Good afternoon my friend ,

1- I see 17/18C° at the moment , so it won't be easy to get some temp. in the tires .
2- I see raindrops against the windows of my house , no wonder with the pitch black menacing clouds just like yesterday.
3- I see and feel a strong wind , but more like strong gusts of wind .

The Belgian weather forecast is rain , but only for this evening and night . But I don't believe it..
It's locally ,but currently I can see how unpredictable it is (just like yesterday)

At least it is dry for the start, not sure for how long though?

But It's still 40% chance for rain ...
