This is laughable.. based on capability, Ferrari is moving up in the odds and as expected, RBR is falling further behind.

Not true (no surprise). Example: McLaren (for the WCC) and their drivers (for the WDC) were the odds on favorites before the season started...before a wheel was turned.

No surprise to me you look at the bookies as some know alls. I'm not a betting man but would guess that bookies were looking into crystal balls a little too much.

Glad you posted this. I'm don't bet and barely understand how to

So if I bet $100 on Ferrari I'd make $1000? Or $1100 with return of my original wager

How do you bet -$200 on McLaren

I assume a $200 bet nets you $100

I don't smoke cigars or play poker either
Does all this mean I must turn in my man card

Correct on the first two...on the last, your man card is still valid.

"The upper flaps can't flex more than 3mm (down from 5mm pre-TD) when you apply 60N to their trailing edge. Then the other test on the lateral stiffness of the structural part of the wing is basically 1000N weight pressed down on the lower elements of the wing, and there you can't flex more than 10mm (down from 15mm pre-TD)."
The belief of more than a few is that the change with the new regs doesn't do much to change things...got to like McLaren's confidence that they're more than ready post TD.

MAX is already beating McLaren at their own game and any reduction on the MCL25 aero is a plus for RBR.

[3798j]

McLaren's game...it's a runaway after only a third of the season. Oh that's right, RBR doesn't care about the WCC...but then their fans lament the personnel drain.

So this is what pressing the Ferrari K1 button does for LEW at the Monaco GP. => https://www.reddit.com/r/formuladank...ave_him_wings/

It's not just the front wing but rear wing also and a host of other components like the side pods and even floor that have to be modified to gel with the flow, cutting into their budget some, no?

Word is RBR will have trouble keeping 3rd place in the WCC. No one including their fans are surprised.

I don't know about a 'huge' crisis but Ricky has been at Ferrari ALT and got on well with drivers like Vettel and Fernie, it's clear it doesn't take a lot to put LEW in a negative mood but at least he wasn't shouting over the 'phone which is a plus. He must remember that Ricky is no Bono and was used to a different type of communication.

The guessing game is pretty choosy with the media, when they're wrong it gets covered quickly with a host of new speculations. Best one I find is TacticalRab and he more or less cuts it quite fine I think.

There is that one opinion of his that I really like...Verstappen and Horner will stay at RBR. So many others predict Verstappen will jump the rotting organization and with Horner, he exemplifies everything that RBR has become. What's the term? "He’s spot on."

Not really sure where you got rotting from, certainly not rigor mortis as they are still alive
MAX has reinstated he will remain at RBR (until blue in the face) read his lips 'not going anywhere', same as Christian with media jumping on that he will go to Ferrari. I'm sure Fred is on the floor with that one...

Pretty sure it was started by those writers that listen to Verstappen. So far this year he's placed blame on the team because (in no particular order), the car, the pit stops, and the strategies...not much else to fault with the organization. I know, he's also blamed the FIA, the stewards, the race director, and Pirelli's tires, but he started with RBR's performance.

That's a lot of things you say but whatever he's still staying as he's winning again, you must understand he's only in F1 to win.
