Checo is team paycheck. He isn’t going anywhere.


Money is money, but the value is highly overestimated in a budget cap environment with the big teams putting up $100 million dollar EBITAs each season.

Yeah, that’s why I never thought he’d end up at RB in the first place. I didn’t think a pay driver would have any appeal to them.

Edit: maybe I shouldn’t have said any appeal but not like a Haas or Williams.


To be fair, his tenure with Red Bull has been successful…so far.

2021- Max WDC and hailed as “the minister of defense helping Max”.
2022 - WDC and WCC
2023 - WDC and WCC


IMO that was the only performance since joining the team that’s been worth while. They didn’t even need to run a second car last year to take both championships. I don’t think there is a single driver on the grid you could have put in that car the last two years and gotten a different result.


I guess the line of thought could be, if anyone could do it why not have someone who brings in some cash and doesn’t cause many problems. That’s all in hindsight, obviously, but they wouldn’t have gained anything with someone else coming in 2nd every race.

Lately I can see many videos and articles saying that maybe Red Bull is using their roll damper as a built in inerter to control porpoising. (Hence explaining why they were able to start this era without any porpoising issues, compared to everybody else)

The problem is apparently that the rules clearly state that the porpoising should be adressed aerodynamically without the use of any type of  inerter.


Let’s see if anything comes out of it

LOL.  We have people here that sucked at sports, so they force their kids into a sport the kid hates.

Like: "My son is burned out with football.  How do I kick his ass and make him play harder?  He is 12, scrawny and I make him play on 4 different football leagues."

Papa Stroll just picked up where Grandpa Stroll left off. Successfully, to his credit. (More commonly,
the son taking over the family business is not as successful.) I don't think the same would
be said of Lance if he took over from his father TBH.

He bought the team for a song.

When he sells, he will make a shit-ton.

As an investment, he is not losing money having his son drive.  He is missing out on earning potential but not that much.

You'd think having a team capable of winning would be a goal, or maybe just getting rid of the driver who keeps costing the team money by destroying his car.

I can deal with him. But, Ruth, no way. I’m sure she’s smart as fuck and would be interesting to converse with IRL. But, she explains shit like I’m 5-years old.

People that sub to F1TV obviously are hardcore fans, we don't need simpleton commentary while cars are on the circuit.  

I do like the in-depth tech features they do.  I am a mechanical tech nerd so they really interest me.  That is the same reason I like the YouTuber F1unchained.

F1TV has made a conscious effort to (a) dumb down the coverage, and (b) play more of a hype role.

Of course this is all based on audience data.

If Lando hadn’t gone into the gravel, I think he would’ve bested Max’s time. That said, I think he was the only one to find himself in the gravel.

It’s getting to be a game of precision and who doesn’t mess up between Lando and Max.

Reading interviews from Lando and Max, last weeks race appears to have been won as soon as corner 1 and when Max passed George (Osama bin Russell)

Just the smallest of mistakes or opportunities are making the race.

Fun to watch.

F1TV using the Sky commentary option. Not perfect, obvious issues, but they do a much better job.

I don’t watch any of the pre or post race coverage (outside of the post race driver press conference). It’s all nonsense and hype with zero value.
