Hard to believe that Lando was allowed in the same room as the trophy !

Well , I just read : Since 2021 MAX has won 36 races out of the last 57 races !
Next weekend he can nail it at Monza , with 10 wins in a row . And that's a new F1 record

It will beat Vettel and Ascari's record and what a place to do it, the latest weather prognosis is that there will be no rain at the track on race day with 29C air temp.
There's some news of Merc gaining 14kph extra on the straights with an updated drs and Albon's Williams car is expected to be quick also.

Ceramic and glass trophies are carefully crafted and look nice but are too fragile for the rough and tumble world of the podium!
I would prefer a traditional original silver trophy or something made of an unbreakable material, my favourite is the track outline on the Monaco winners trophy.

36/57. That's a whopper of a score sheet!

Helmut Marko has told Ralf Schumacher to engage gear first before he knows what he's talking about with his disparaging comments about Checo but it's understandable what RS could be driving at with Mick still hunting for a drive.

I doubt Mick would do a better job. He was better than Mazespin, sure, but was imho completely outclassed when Kmag became his teammate.
To me, Mick doesn't have the talents is dad had.
Anyway, if you want chance for a seat, sitting on the bench at Mercedes is probably the worst place to be.
Hammy is never going to leave, and I think Russel will stay on too for quite a long time. You'd think RS would know that...

Mick may be wasting his time on the bench there, as if Wolff thinks it's a sort of 'selling platform' for him.

No way MS would do a better job than Perez. Mick couldn't keep the car out of walls there towards the end with Haas - put him in a faster car that is even more difficult to drive at the limit - yeah bad idea. No way Mick is a better driver than PER and PER struggles mightily with this car in difficult conditions. Not saying PER is the answer at RB but Mick is definitely not.

I was actually thinking we might see PER at Haas next year - it would be a perfect fit for a team that really could use some North American fanfare. I think if RIC hadn't broken his hand and instead shown well PER would have been out. Now RB still isn't sure what they have there and might not have time to find out this season. And Haas confirming Kmag I thought PER would replace didn't really help my little theory...

Some have wangled their contracts so that they can wear their own gear when arriving at racing venues while others like Ferrari,RB and Mclaren have to sport team apparel.

Max takes FP1 by 46/1000 from Carlo, then Checo in third with Charlie 4th.
Constantly complaining (about Max) LEW managed 8th.
C'mon Checo and Ferrari
