Thats interesting, I don't think they've really said much about him taking new gearboxes.

They’ve been quiet about it. But I seem to recall issues in the first few races of the RB cars going through them relatively quickly.

In hindsight, there was quite a bit of telegraphing around Otmar’s departure.

One guess on who they aired on the Beyond the Grid podcast two days ago.

Ya.....I'd almost be interested in him taking the spot. We'd find out pretty quickly if he really is a Clown...or whether Ferrari Corp is more responsible for the shitshow that is the team.

Reynolds investment group is probably either super happy that they get to rebuild the team from scratch...or really pissed they potentially bought into the worst team on the grid.

I would guess two things:

- The actual money in that group has a long history of longer term sports investment. They are in at 24% on around $880 million valuation. The only “value” play is the “rising tide raises all boats” factor that is contingent on F1 maintaining a tight franchise model going forward. Time will make them money.

- With Renault (I think) owning the other 76%, that don’t have much of a voice. They are really just along for the ride.

My prediction would be clown. I think there is an element of "alpha" you have to have to win at all costs. I dont know the guy but he seems more beta than alpha. There is a drive that comes with it ...he doesnt strike me as having "it". You can only go so far with smarts.

"Ferrari confirmed Laurent Mekies' rôle has Race Director came to an end this week. ????
He will not be in Spa this weekend and his position on the pitwall will be carried by Diego Loverno"

I don’t get it. Ferrari was supposed to be better on a slow track like the hungaroring and suck on a fast and drying track.

And yet so far we see the complete opposite. That’s crazy

It’s the RB-19

Pérez you will say…

Yeah, no. The car is designed 100% around Verstappen, not checo

VER to P1 by lap 5 unless the track is wet, then it may take 10 laps.

Hopefully everyone gets a clean start on Sunday.

Ladies. You're both pretty. Moving on....Should be a fun, eventful Shootout and Sprint. Again, the top 10 or so cars seem to run very close/similar right now. Lovin' the resurgence of McLaren!

Wonder how long it going to take Hamilton to get by Leclerc and Russell to get by Sainz.  Within a few laps, or have to wait until the inevitable Ferrari tire eating comes into play?

apparently in his fastest lap in Q3, Leclerc had a problem with his hybrid with a top speed at the 1st speed trap of 310km/h... when sainz had 320+ in the same point.

So the gap could have been slighly less than what we have.
