In the mean time Newey visited the AM factory, made his pay demand, to which Sr. refused, and the latest word is AN lowered his pay demand to Sr.

Hard to know what is true. Last word was AN already had a contract with Ferrari signed.

Hmmmmmmm

Wondering if he's allowed to trawl around other teams like that looking for a job while technically still employed by RB on the hyper car project.

If we can have even half of excitement like the Canadian GP, I would be happy. For the fans who are going to attend the Spanish GP, there is a meetup happening on Saturday, at 8:00PM at Milans Cocktail Bar that they must consider to make their whole experience a lot better by interacting with follow F1 fans.

New engine for MAX as he tackles the Catalunya track coming second to NOR 24/1000 behind in FP1, MAX had a minor clutch problem during this practice session.

That is engine #4, so a lot of power unit penalties to follow.

Lots of penalties to be handed out before this season is over.

I dont think that's necesarily the case. PU's can be rebuilt, and often Max uses one PU for practice and another for the race. I'm not aware of any PU's for Max that are out of rotation so to speak.

Headlines are so funny - Max trying to get the car and new upgrades dialed in suddenly becomes 'struggles'. It is was a UK driver it would be the polar opposite. As always, RB runs way lower PU modes, and typically has way more fuel on board.

Yep, always have to deal with click bait...VER and RB will be back on top by end of weekend. What surprised me was hammy leading the pack even if it's only P2....Disconcerting....Maybe MB has found their problem and fixed it

Don't give up hope, the driver they are getting rid off, Carlos will make that Ferrari fly with or without the right upgrades

As much as I dislike the MB guys, I expect by season's end you're going to see MB #2 and it's going to be a dog fight between Fer/Mcl for 3rd spot. Who knows, maybe RB even concedes #1 in the WCC so they can have more wind tunnel time...it might be a strategy that is most effective going into the final season of these regs...unless they extend them for another year or two.

But we are talking about ICE here? allocation 4 used 4. Maybe some older engines can be use but there is a reason they took them out of service.

Very interesting information.

Unlikely as the Constructors is far more important to the team than the Drivers which is more personal driver and fan related accolade.
