Now that its been reliably reported that Red Bull can and is considering replacing Liam Lawson by the next race— and aside from how you feel about Liam as a person— I just can't help but think that no one on the grid deserves this more than Red Bull. Max is 2nd in the championship and his teammate is last, Red Bull is 3rd in the constructors and every single one of those points are from Max. This is the culmination of almost 18 months of fuck ups and politicking. The post mortems at the end of last year all pointed to the fact that they had 3 seats but had given 4 contracts, Jos Verstappen's friend had reported that "the Verstappen family were informed" that Sergio would be replaced by Zandvoort -> then they took Sergio's sponsor money -> dropped Daniel -> Lawson was moved into VCARB. AMuS reported that Honda had to intervene for Yuki to even get the end of season test because Red Bull were just not interested in even trialling him in the Red Bull even though journalists had already reported that Liam's testing times in that car were not good. Fast forward to this year and Liam literally said after qualifying of race TWO that he already knew he didn't have much time to get up to speed. Bernie Collins pointed out that it's almost impossible to feel sympathy for Red Bull because they're expecting better outcomes and better results when they're just not behaving logically- she compared Red Bull (once the blueprint for developing drivers) to how Kimi was able to slot right into Mercedes because he was tested IN Mercedes- not in another car then thrown into the car he's actually supposed to succeed in.

Fuck you Christian, irredeemable fucking cunt.

Yeah being nonchalant is cool but then I remember Daniel, feverish and delirious, crying on the podium in China '18

And Nico breaking down in China '16, cradled by the hands of his team

...yeah

Reporting this race for false advertisement, really edged everyone with a crazy sprint quali, then a crazy sprint then a crazy quali and then the race hit like a tranquiliser to the face with occasional feral activities from the rookies in p28 onwards

The cut to the lovely fan sobbing tears of joy for Oscar and then Oscar's monotonous voice narrating like "mega job guys 😐"

Diabolical work to make this your official merch when you manufactured a car that disintegrates mid race and your strategists are seemingly strategising for a different race- maybe they were right when they told us not to worry about you

Can't stop laughing at Ollie's dad realising that the broadcast caught him watching the race on his phone 😭

Bernie Collins just said that the lack of downforce on Charles' left front tyre due to the broken endplate actually helps reduce graining on the front left that everyone's been struggling with so it de-facto balanced out the car at this track

I love F1 and its quirks and how sometimes breaking off a bit of the car actually makes it better
