As we feared/expected, Max seems even faster than last year.
Why is Sargent in F1 still? Does he have a billionaire father too? The fucker is over a minute behind the next car, he’s never getting up to speed.

His uncle is a billionaire.

Bored enough that I googled it. Apparently he doesn’t bring any sponsorship to Williams and was promoted through the Williams young driver program. So he’s shit and not funding the team - what am I missing 😂

Just have to wait and see who gets the stitches.

No surprise really. The sporting integrity of F1 jumped the shark with the Hamilton thing 2 years ago and doesn’t show much sign of coming back

Could this 8 year old exchange be the tweet that aged well

At least we can be confident he oversaw the investigation into abu dhabi 21 competently.

I thought it was odd that he was backing Horner so much, going so far as to tell Max that he should publicly back his boss. It can only come down to him not wanting to annoy Horner who then probably has plenty of dirt on the behind the scenes of AD21.

Agreed, it seems wrong on many levels.

Red Bull have now suspended the Horner accuser... Not a good look really...

Grubbier and grubbier by the minute

In all of this I’d like to know what is Jos so mad about and why is he falling out with Horner? It can’t be because he actually cares about employee rights as he’s a violent twat at heart. I don’t believe the rumour that both him and Horner have been balls deep with the employee either.
Something more too it, and I don’t exactly see Jos as a Team Principal type character either.

If red bull are trolling which seems to be the case, why not wait until international women's day tomorrow?

Heard a rumour after the Austrian owner died , that Horner was trying to buy the F1 team, out Marko and had the backing of the Thai owner.. Guess there’s lots of sour grapes going around
