    Mercedes connection too......would be a good fit. I think Mick got shafted in end end by Haas.

    How good is Piastri. Never raced this track before.

    Lawson is super impressive in Q1. Great to see. Not good for Daniel though.

    It has already been announced that it is Ric and Tsu for next year.

    Lawson in reserve.

    I am in awe of Alex Albon and how strong he has come back after the Red Bull stint. Fair play to him. Seems like a decent bloke too.

    I think they may want to consider revisiting that decision. I say that despite the fact that I am a fan of Danny’s.

    Stroll out in Q1 as well. I think Lawson should go to Williams and Mick Schumacher head to Aston Martin.

    Danny is well experienced and discussing contracts and exit packages.

    For such a long circuit, times all very close. Top 5 in Q2 all within about a tenth of a second. Top 10 or 12 within aboit half a second.

    Hopefully close again in q3, will be interesting if Max not on the front row, although maybe was saving tyres in q2

    No way will Redbull let Lawson go to Williams.

    I think Max just exceeded track limits. On his 1st lap in Q3

    Max seems to go further into turn 1 with the DRS than the others.

    Stunning lap from Max - “there you go, 28”. Did he only do 4 laps all qualifying? Another level. 😁😁

    Great job from Piastri, Norris and team too.

    i believe Pato O'Ward is now eligible for a Super Licence and with McLarens roster full in F1 I wonder if McLaren would be willing to let Williams speak to him. He’s 24 now so time is ticking for him. McLaren need him in F1 soon if Norris gets itchy feet for Redbull in the future.

    Do you think Lando would play second fiddle to Max?

    No.

    That's coming to an end in F1I believe.

    Used to be common but only Perez plays that role now.

    Norris could go to Red Bull to try prove himself against Verstappen but it would be a massive risk as the team is built around Verstappen. If he got well beaten then his value would take a hit. McLaren look to be on the up so I think he will stay there for another year or two and see how it goes.

    Norris is contracted until 2025 so has enough time as imo he wouldn’t break his contract.

    They are having a good period now which will put his value up, but then again Piastri is not a mile behind.

    I was thinking today what would happen if Lando was in the other redbull. I don't believe it is set up that much towards Max to justify the gaps we are continually seeing to Perez.

    It is a pity you can't simulate drivers. We won't know, but I believe many of the other drivers Today would be much closer to Max if they were driving the other Redbull.
