Verstappen is right where I think he should remain...Horner too.

RBR is the only team that brought this wing drop anomaly to the FIA, why are the rest such cowards to come forward or are they always asleep.

Probably because RBR lacks the engineering capabilities to match McLaren.

If you can’t beat them cry to FIA.

But moving onto this weekend, I think the new rules will shake things up a bit, but not nearly as much as people might think. My top 10:

1. VER
2. LEC
3. NOR
4. PIA
5. RUS
6. HAM
7. SAI
8. ALB
9. GAS
10. HAD

What about graciously predicting pole position for Piastri and P2 for Norris on Saturday, with Zak Brown laughing and teasing Horner + on Sunday some Barcelona 2016 vibes featuring 'these cars will self-destruct in a few moments' followed by an overly ambitious PIA-NOR 'lawn mower' double DNF moment allowing Verstappen to win the race ?

Nice to see a driver that wears a functional man’s watch instead of a piece of lady’s jewellery. Stainless steel series 10 in black. Tasty.

After watching today’s practice sessions, it looks like McLaren still have the edge in outright pace, with Max Verstappen once again their closest challenger. This weekend’s Spanish GP is particularly interesting as all 10 teams have brought upgrades, many in response to the full implementation of TD018, the FIA’s new flexi-wing directive.

If you are curious about the technical changes and what each team has introduced, this breakdown does a great job summarizing the key upgrades. This should be a fascinating weekend ahead and hopefully we will have an exciting race on Sunday unlike the one we had last Sunday at Monaco.

That's my point. All the exorbant watches you see them wear....it's all sponsored.

Here's Max with a apple watch (I assume it's apple, I don't live in that ecosystem both brandwise as smartwatch wise.....
