They really need to draft in someone who likes a car that handles the way Max likes it; no idea if that's what Danny Ricc likes but there has to be a reason he seems to be at the forefront of Red Bull's list; because it can't be his performances.
DR hasn't done too bad recently, today he was affected to by a couple of weird team decisions that saw him to the back of the field but was able to recover and for a while was matching the pace in the top 5.They really need to draft in someone who likes a car that handles the way Max likes it; no idea if that's what Danny Ricc likes but there has to be a reason he seems to be at the forefront of Red Bull's list; because it can't be his performances.
Fuming about that. Norris clearly should have won! Also Norris is p2 in the championship, it makes sense for him to get more points.
Mclaren need their heads checking.....Piastre is a no body as far as the championship goes, he should have gone 2nd for his team mate who was beating him on merit.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Max is going to join Merc. That team radio from red bull made it sound like they are tired of Max's antics. Max playing Iracing on its 24 hour event must really urk Christian.
I can only see Merc as an option. Ferrari and McLaren wouldn’t benefit from a better driver, whereas Merc could given the empty seat.How about Max going to McLaren! Yea, i know contracts have been signed but, they can also be broken too!!
I cant see Max staying in Red Bull. I guess he could go to Merc.
I think Perez did a decent job today following a disastrous qualifying. He’s done enough to keep his seat for at least a little longer.
The only reason Norris got ahead is because the team allowed him to pit first when Oscar should have had first choice. They did this to benefit Norris on the understanding that he would swap places with Oscar given Oscar legitimately took the lead and drove a great race. If they didn’t pit Norris before Oscar then he probably wouldn’t have beaten Oscar on track.
Yet again Norris messed up his start and lost position.
Today feels like McLaren have had to put Norris in his place for getting too big for his boots. The team have publicly reiterated that it’s not all about the aspirations of Norris, and rightly so.
Norris is starting to behave like his podiums are the only thing that matters, and unfortunately that won’t fly with the team, and he will find himself on a slippery slope.
I think it was short sighted by McLaren.
They appear to have a car fast enough for both of their drivers to rival and beat Max.
Max is 76 points ahead of Norris now....could have been 69.
There are 11 races left and in a perfect scenario of Mclaren 1,2s with Norris winning and max coming 3rd everytime that is 110 points.
Obviously the above is unlikely, but it could swing either way and it shows it is still fairly possible Norris could win. McLaren could get even luckier if Max has a few DNFs.
If Lando ends up losing the championship by 7 points, McLaren are going to feel very, very sick and Lando would probably be furious.
