Newey wasn’t at Merc during their all conquering run before this run from Red bull so it’s all to play for in 2026. Apparently Red bulls 2026 engine isn’t where it should be at the moment, quite a bit down on i.c.e power, Newey gone, it all points to their current run ending after next year, but who knows…Verstappen will be keeping his ears to the ground, if he smells it going sour he’ll be off, especially if Merc can convince him their 2026 engine is right up there like they did with Hammy, which it was. Right now I’d say he’ll be off to Merc for 2026, Wolff knows how to convince a top driver. Then there’s Ferrari, if they get a whiff that Verstappen is willing to jump and their engine is up there would they pay Hammy to leave like they did with Raikkonen for Alonso, I bet they’re secretly wishing they hadn’t signed him in the winter given what’s happening at Red bull now….

Edit: Have you watched a guy called RPM, Rocketpoweredmohawk on YouTube…

Cheers John, great shout. My type of humour.

He’s off his bat isn’t he Nick….

Just what you need in these hypersensitive woke fairysnowflake BS times we unfortunately now live in….

Give the trophys to Newey and his design teams. He's won 13 drivers titles, if I recall. I hope he gets paid more than the drivers. Any one have a handle on that?

I read on the BBC Newey earns about £18m a year… while seemingly Max earns around £55m.

I saw something today suggesting that Mercedes are prepared to offer Max THREE time that - £165m per year!

I would guess Mac gets more from the sponsors.He os front of house. I would take 18 million, though I do fell Adrian is worth more that that. Perhaps being an engineer not a showman slews my opinion.

Well whoever goes wherever it was great to see someone other than Max win! Lando was due a trip to the top step of the podium.

Nice one Lando had no clue who won.

So who won the snooker?

Sad that I find this stuff out via the forum. Or maybe not sad at all.

It was well worth watching, even though I only saw the highlights!

Basically he got lucky being able to pit under a safety car, but Max still couldn't catch him.

No idea about the snooker though.

first time that Max was genuinely off the pace, given a straight fight Lando was consistently a few tenths faster each lap. be very interesting to see what happens over the next few races.

Just nice to hear the National anthem again and dribbler not on the top step. Norris does seem genuinely popular in the paddock which is nice.
Lewis had a great race too and, considering his car is crap, did extremely well. Russell was nowhere to be seen.
