You know if this is Daniel's last race the thing that really gets me is the horseshit management of Red Bull/VCARB

Checo isn't fast enough. You're in danger of losing your constructors. So you decide you're probably going to put Daniel in the Red Bull seat in the summer. You send messages ahead to the next race to tell people not to put up Checo's promotional images.

Not so fast, Checo's sponsors say, so you leave Perez in the seat and give up on the constructors' because it's easier to get money from sponsorship than to cover the constructors'.

You want more points with VCARB, you say. You want more points but you keep effing up both your drivers with strategy and putting upgrades on the car that make them go backwards.

I know what we'll do, you say. We'll leave Daniel out for the wolves in Singapore and tell media that it isn't his last race until oops, it might be. We haven't told him though, so he can't say a proper goodbye if it is. We'll just hand him one last shit strategy and watch as he swallows it and takes fastest lap to help Max's championship. For shits and giggles we'll kill Yuki's strategy too, for fairness.

But if Daniel's gone after Singapore, what will Red Bull/VCARB do?

Let's see here. You have Checo, who went backwards in Singapore and can't help the constructors. You have Yuki, who's fast on track but can't give feedback well and has trouble keeping his emotions down on track. You have Liam, who's all well and deserving of a VCARB seat but won't be ready for Red Bull until a few years later.

You have nobody. You still haven't solved the problem of Max's teammate after six years. You refuse to let go of Checo, who shouldn't have been here after the summer break. You won't ever take the chance and promote Yuki to see if a stint in a senior team will work out for him. You'll have fired your best development and update feedback driver for your secondary team.

Carlos has gone to Williams. George, which Christian mentioned, won't ever leave Mercedes. Oscar and Lando will stay at McLaren. You asked Alex last year, and Alex laughed in your face.

And Max can no longer win the constructors' by himself in the car you give him.

It started in the summer break. Red Bull took a gun and pointed it in their own faces and slowly pulled back the trigger and it was only until now, six races from the end off the season, that we see what the bullet will do.

On the Saturday in the Ardennes, photographer Peter van Egmond received a very friendly look from Max Verstappen but soon understood how and why. That the warm look was not meant for him.

This year I followed the qualification at Spa-Francorchamps in the pitlane. Max Verstappen often stands leaning against the workbench chatting with his engineer. For a change, I wanted to try a different composition, with his helmet in the foreground, his engineers in the background and the focus on his face. And then suddenly he was looking very kindly in my direction, just not straight into the lens. He started smiling, his gaze was very warm and when I looked over my shoulder, I understood why. I never get these looks from him! So his mother Sophie was standing behind me and wanted to wish Max good luck. I took the photo at the moment of their eye contact, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

"Victoire de Max Verstappen. Ce jeune homme est incroyable. Appelez-le génie, appelez-le légende, appelez-le comme vous voulez, mais aujourd'hui on est obligé de l’appeler vainqueur de Grand Prix de Formule 1." "This young man is incredible. Call him a genius, call him a legend, call him whatever you like, but today we have to call him a Formula 1 Grand Prix winner."

toto and lewis just proved themselves that they are the biggest sore losers in that paddock this weekend. like i cannot believe how they managed to destroy every single reputation they held just by purely talking shit about max in the week where max got 10 wins in a row. none of the shit they say against max looks good now that max broke the record. nothing but pure jealously.

No but he joins F1 and becomes the youngest driver ever to enter a grand prix. From day one, all eyes are on him, he's the subject of countless debates. He didn't have an actual driver's license yet. His mum drove him to races. There's a level of expectation pressing down on him already. He's a rookie, he learns through experience like all those who came before him. His youth and the fact that they - his fellow drivers - were all in his shoes once doesn't protect him. He's christened crashstappen, he labeled aggressive, he has no choice in any of it. But there's something there, something they can't help but notice. Even then there's whispers, could he be the one to end Mercedes dominance? It's a question of someday, of when rather than if. He gets the Red Bull seat. To the shock of many he clenches his maiden victory in his debut for the mother team. He is the first Dutch driver to lead a lap, to win a grand prix. He becomes the youngest grand prix winner. He is inevitable, that's what they all say. He's marked for greatness, this generational talent, the talent of the century. He is the one who ends era of Mercedes but that is just the beginning. He keeps changing the game, keeps pushing forward, does the things no one could imagine. Which brought us here. Here to the temple of the prancing horse, to Monza. The tenth race win in a row, the record breaker. Once there was a little boy, he was raised around cars, racing was simply in his blood. At the age four, he starts chasing a dream. Twenty years later he achieved it, he became a world champion. Every sacrifice, every twist and turn on the road; it was all worthwhile. Everything after? Simply a bonus. This one however, this one is something else entirely. A little boy once sat in a race car, with a pacifier in hand. That same little boy looked at drivers hopping into those cars and whizzing around a track dreaming of glory. He dreamed of being one of them. Now he's cemented his place as one of the best of them and he's still going. Monza is for the dreamers indeed.
