Even better that RIC didn't actually get the point.

The fastest lap point is also a distraction.
I remember it cost Verstappen a win in one of the double British GP they had on the "pandemic" years.
Mercs are miles ahead. Verstappen in the middle of nowhere bored. They go for FL, then the Mercs tyers blews. He was so far behind Hamilton was able to scramble to win. BUt had Verstappen not pitted, he'd have won easy.

When it first came out, I thought it was surely McLaren.
Interesting though, it appears to have been a loophole that allowed them to make more changes than you typically would be able to under parc ferme between Quali and Race.
So more pressure on Red Bull now to get their setups right for Qualifying, which they haven't had much luck at lately.
Max playing mind games, I love it 
Verstappen: Piastri "too good" to support Norris at McLaren
The part itself is totally legal, its if they use the part to alter the car during Parc Ferme, that action is what is illegal. And according to the FIA there is no proof that this has actually occurred.
Also according to Red Bull its physically impossible to use the part while the car is built (i.e Parc Ferme) but need to take what they say with a grain of salt.

What happened to Piastri in sprint qually?
Ran wide on the 2nd last quarter and went over track limits
It’s the SKY Danica and Jenson show again
Every time she comes up with some comment he doesn’t agree with its written all over his face.

No. As I said earlier in the year if I was red bulls PR manager (and they should have a decent one) I would gag Helmut and he would never be allowed to talk to the media or I would sack him. He's a rent a quote for creating problems.
Better in 2024 than in the year he is pressing for WC
They just ran through the number of Senior Members who have left this year
One or two, but four or five…is an issue you would think?
Anyway it is so good to have this string of races in the morning!
Then we get the last two….grr

Yes and no.
I mean when you're that dominant for a few years, others will come for you. It's hard to keep the same group together in any salary cap sport.

doubt oscar would be interested in any event.
Probably not, but if the $$$ are right I'm sure he would be.... given who his manager is.
Who isn't at the race this weekend FWIW

Verstappen is also 100% correct - it's a matter of time before Piastri sees himself as being too good to be playing second fiddle to Lando. Only way he stays at McLaren long term is if Lando leaves.
You'd think there's a 2nd Ferrari spot coming up in 27/28, particularly if Charles puts Lewis to the sword or vice versa.
I reckon that's where Oscar might have their eyes on.
Of course Max could give it away within a couple years too.

Or “this is what they tried to get me to do at RB and I said stuff ‘em, then made myself unsackable. Oscar, do the same thing!”
Soooooo should Lando have waited a lap or two more?
Yep.
He had the grip and the pace and he shouldve known Max was going to make it hard for him.
So it's Ferrari 1- 2 in the Texas desert! Onwards to Mexico.
