If you would put Vettel in a red bull again or a Mercedes would he be competitive?
I don't think so. He had a damn good Ferrari and just lost his nerve.If you would put Vettel in a red bull again or a Mercedes would he be competitive?
That is very much the way I see it.It's very evident Red Bull have tried very hard to damage a driver's reputation. Instead I can't help but feel that Horner has damaged his own. It can take years to build and when it has been spent in such an idiotic manner it won't be easy to get it back. I thought they had concerns over their budget too, I can't imagine what this created - manufactured - evidence has added to their concern.
Interesting. I'd assumed the 2022 engine will be different to 2021. Surprised they could still use it!Good read, Honda brought forward next years powertrain to this season for RB. Which begs the question. Where will RB be in the order next year when Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault bring their new 2022 powertrains in?

A RB employee was fired today for racist tweets directed at Lewis Hamilton. Christian Horner needs to stop now. If your a RB sponsor you'd be calling RB and telling them that.Tweet

Christ. This would normally the time when someone sane higher up into the hierarchy steps in to tell their people to shut up for their own sake; but who's gonna do that to Horner. Instead, you are left to wonder how much deeper he can dig himself into this hole...Tweet

Horner saying the wrong things as usual. What a clown. Such a dislikable principal, lead driver and team.Tweet

I'm another who enjoyed watching him race when I was growing up.Beyond Red Bull getting a bit embarrassing, in other news there is a Schumacher documentary coming to Netflix in September. If it’s half as good as Senna, it’ll be a treat.
Schumi is unashamedly my favourite driver ever, even when parking his car at Rascasse, so I am really looking forward to it.
Yes Honda will still produce the engines in japan for one more year but that wont be R&D, just production until RB uk engine factory is up and running a year later.They've just brought forwards a design change that they didn't previously plan to bring until next year.
They'll all make improvements over this year of course - but next year the engines will be locked until 2025.
RB will take over the engine from next year by name, but they've still got Honda workers actually working on the engine, so If anything they'll improve rather than get worse.
Honda will also upgrade their engine for next year, they’ve confirmed it.Good read, Honda brought forward next years powertrain to this season for RB. Which begs the question. Where will RB be in the order next year when Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault bring their new 2022 powertrains in?

Can't quite believe he's done that. He's virtually in the "all lives matter" camp by comparing racist abuse to Verstappen's twitter abuse.
Max received abuse also!!
Struggling to belive him, it would have been all over , Horner would have mentioned it.
They're disgusting, I agree.
This is what happens when a team boss loses control i'm afraid.
Exactly. I'm sure Hamilton gets those as well, but the abuse he undoubtedly receives additionally contains racism. For Horner to pretend it's all the same is a new low in this sad saga.They're disgusting, I agree.
The problem when someone compares that to racist tweets is you're comparing stupid lowest denominator fans not liking Verstappen to a general problem in society. I have no problem with what you're saying being highlighted as not right, but it's a completely different issue to what Hamilton has been subjected to. Horner mentioning this in his statement comes across that the two things are equal and that's not the case.
Are you really blaming Horner for the disgusting abuse Max got in those comments?This is what happens when a team boss loses control i'm afraid.
When you see somebody like Horner acting overly emotional and throwing his toys out the pram no wonder kids are going to think it's OK to be abusive.
Very sad.
I stand corrected, nasty abuse, does not matter if its abuse like this or racial abuse. There is no place for it in any walk of like.
I blame Horner for getting Hamilton abused, who then had Hamilton fans retaliate and abuse Max for revenge.Are you really blaming Horner for the disgusting abuse Max got in those comments?
I can see where you are coming from, but cant 100% agree with you.I blame Horner for getting Hamilton abused, who then had Hamilton fans retaliate and abuse Max for revenge.
It's all happened because of Horners stupid cry baby interviews after the race.
Couldn't have put it better. Well said.Exactly. I'm sure Hamilton gets those as well, but the abuse he undoubtedly receives additionally contains racism. For Horner to pretend it's all the same is a new low in this sad saga.
Very much so.I blame Horner for getting Hamilton abused, who then had Hamilton fans retaliate and abuse Max for revenge.
It's all happened because of Horners stupid cry baby interviews after the race.
Has Hamilton been abused like this before? not that’s been made publicly aware as far as I know.I can see where you are coming from, but cant 100% agree with you.
Yes Horner has dragged it out and Max has not been much better.
Would Lewis have got the abuse if Horner had said nothing, Yes I think he would, would it have been as bad, No maybe not.
That's debatable for race craft and race pace. For qualifying Bottas is worlds apart compared to Perez.Looking tasty for qualifying judging by P3. Really surprised ( again) with Perez as he's looking like a Bottas in disguised. Hamilton & Verstappen just different gravy.
Qualifying can't come quick enough.
