Gah thats heartbreaking.
He was an inspiration to a generation of aussie italian teenagers like me (when i was young haha). I only hope my young boys get as much joy out of watching piastri (for the same reason) when they are older. And hopefully oscar gets blessed with better luck and a faster car than danny did in the second half of his career.

Mclaren would have to fall in a heap to lose constructors from him. With red bull not replacing checo they are no chance.

Wouldn't have mattered if they'd replaced Checo or not, that car has gone backwards big time.
Lando was very very lucky to not crash out of contention last night...brushing the wall twice.
I love what his race engineer said after the second one...

Yep, RBR hasn’t won a race in 8 races. They are 3rd behind McLaren and Ferrari now going into the tail end of the season.

I think they would have lost the constructors either way purely on points but a number of other drivers would do a better job than checo has been doing recently.

sounds like a driver that is physically and emotionally spent.
I don't think he's on the radar to replace Perez next year.
And with the new rules are at more of a disadvantage this year to fix them.

Its a proper vibe. I was there last year. Humid AF though. Sweating buckets just sitting in the stands.
any recommendations on where to sit? Also is there a general admission section? I went to Shanghai a few years ago and it was awesome walking around the track and being the only one down the back straight. Felt very intimate.

There is GA but it's very small and the view isn't great.
I was Zone 4 at the Esplanade (turns 13-16) but it means you have to leg it to see the presentations (I didn't see them).

I sat in the stand at Turn 14, you can see them coming both directions (if you manage to get close enough to turn 14) as it's the same street for turn 8

Yeah he should have been put in there this year but its too late now.
Its interesting though as i dont think perez should be there next year (unless its about money only) and they wont promote yuki and it would be too big a step to put lawson in the main car straight away so i wonder who would fill that seat?

Yeh they really don't have any other option within the Red Bull ecosystem.
(unless Liam absolutely dominates the next 6 races, they might throw him in there for 25).
Even externally I'm not sure who would be worthy of a seat. Valteri or Mick Schumacher would be just as bad as Perez.
That's very unique!

Unfortunately I don't have a photo that I swear I took...

It was 2016 and Danny Ric was chasing down Nico Rosberg late on but couldn't get him. Thankfully that is, so Rosberg won the title..
I sat Turn 1/Turn 2. Great spot!
What's wrong with Bottas?

Think he's past his best.
But then again hard to judge with the shitbox he's currently driving.

Too late in his career same issue as DR.
Yeah, maybe.
I suppose it's not conventional to give guys who'd had a crack up at the front but not won a championship a second or third crack with other top teams

Hall of Famer
Bottas is really into cycling at the moment. he has qualified for his age group in the World Gravel championship in the next two weeks. It helps that his partner Tiffany cromwell is a pro cyclist.
