Albon might actually make it, the team are pushing for it.

Replaced all 4 corners, new gearbox and floor too.

Probably well worth giving it a go, chance the start gets delayed for one reason or another to give them a bit longer.

Albon said they might not make it, but the team have just officially confirmed to the FIA now he will not be taking part.

Despite changing all that, it was too big of a task.

Sainz is starting from the pitlane with a whole new engine and gearbox.

Fair play to the Ferrari team for getting that sorted in the timeframe.

Probably faster than trying to piece together a solution. Stick a whole new rear end on it.

Red bull are moaning like moaning champions again.

Wouldn't you?

He did the same thing when he had a go in the MP4/4 as well.

 

[Scam]

We’re definitely starting at 3.30pm then?

 

[.:MBK:.]

Pinched an extra lap back in the day when he got to take Frank Williams out as well (Frank may have egged him on from memory)

As definitely as normal.

Could this be the turning point in the championship?

You mean Max will be too far ahead to catch?

Emmo!

Max needs at least one DNF for it to even be possible. I suspect he’ll still finish strongly here.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Bernie doing well for 94 but was seeming a little bit Joe Biden there!

 

[Trusty]

Could this be the turning point in the championship?

It really needs a DNF from Max. If he finishes 8th to 10th, he'll still be 40 odd points in front. It's all just a little bit too late from McLaren. They've left a significant amount of points on the table for Norris. My last calculation a number of races ago was 20 odd points they've fumbled for him
