Seb Vettel succeeding Marko has to be part of the endgame here, he would be elite in that role.

Or take Mr Sulayem's FIA role when Mohammed is put in the Bin.

what would make him 'elite' in that? it's a management role, not a driving role and he's never shown me he has any expertise either as a man manager or in administration generally

What is helmuts official role?

Manager of the Red Bull driver development program isn't he ?

He seems to take credit for Vettel, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Sainz etc..

So Horner is above him?

I think its a different sub-organisation, so he's not really an employee of the Red Bull Racing team that Horner looks after.

The driver program covers RBR, Racing Bulls as well as the F2 and F3 pipelines.

It’s a shame they can’t turf him, lucky for Horner he seems to have the Thai guy on side.
I like Horner and he’s obviously a good operator.

My wife and I watched Ferrari last night, great film, captured the danger of the era. Can you imagine modern F1 drivers even considering leaving goodbye notes for their loved ones before each race?

No.
They would record a video instead. Post it to Facebook even.

Going to be another RB 1-2 this week with Russell fighting the Ferraris for that last podium spot.
Max was a good half a second faster on race pace with zero tyre deg haha

CEO of RB Shit stirring.

 

[skam85]

CEO of RB s**t stirring.

And if he did stand in the way, Max could just walk past slightly to his right and Helmut wouldn't even notice

After seeing them last night I'm not sure Alpine ever had an aerodynamics department

They did, but they were obviously crepe.. I’ll see myself out..

I wonder how badly McLaren are going to be effected by their lack of straight line speed. Lando looked good in FP1 but both cars were slow in FP2.

The fact he drove FP1 and FP2 with appendicitis is nothing short of extraordinary.

Not wrong. I am surprised they didn't get him checked out before hand since he was apparently pretty crook in the morning.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Also interesting they opted for Ollie Bearman over Giovinazzi this weekend, even though the WEC are not racing at the moment. Even though Giovinazzi has never set the world on fire, it's a big vote of confidence in an 18 year old driver to give them a race seat.

 

[Forward Press]

Fun fact - Ollie Bearman despite being just 18 is still only the third youngest driver on the grid upon debut - the other younger ones were Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll.

All the best to him and I don't think anyone would have predicted Ferrari to have two British drivers in under a year.

Race weekends are always better with Bernie Collins.

Decent shunt from Zhou. I doubt the session will resume with 16 minutes left.
