WTF, does Vasseur want to steal the whiney bitch title from Horny?

Of course the 7 mil fine for going a fraction (in F1 terms) over the budget is excessive and I only see it as a cash cow for them.

Just like Wolff ,Ferrari Fred can whine for whatever he wants and try to slow down MAX .

Red Bull payed a $7Million fine within 30 days of the ABA and restrictions on car development time and a 10% reduction in wind tunnel time for the 2023 season .
Case closed ...

In other words : Mercedes and Ferrari are butt hurt !

Russel has a cheek to accuse RB of sandbagging and then blowing his PU is karma for stirring up complete nonsense.

Hopefully LEW runs with Russell's power mapping at Baku

It's really necessary if they want to fight with MAX ...

It's the only way LEW can keep up with Max but then falls back with the huge mistake w14 bodywork and the vintage drs, probably Russel will now chicken out of re mapping to destruction to get a few constructor points for wolfy.

Hill is stirring the pot again with his theories about RB, what he's missing is 'RB knowhow', even with their cut in w/tunnel time RB have new ways of doing things that even out or even take away their competitors advantages.

All Alonso has said to match RB is not really tech related though he is not letting on anything about that and his comment that he will catch RB 'if' there are in house disputes at the MK hq is to me more a cry for help from him than a definite challenge that would worry Max and Checo.

[QUOTE=///M Power-Belgium;30014688]LEW WTF ?!?! =>

Two race winner ex driver Herbert has now joined the fray with Hill giving his useless opinion if Hamilton will be going to Ferrari. Everyone knows that time is against LEW and he'll probably stick it out for another year with Merc only to be beaten by Russel as the reactions get slower and JH has been kicked out by Sky for reaching his sell-by date.

We'll see how Felipe does, maybe the judiciary in his native Brazil can come up with a loophole.

Actually very realistic. How can it be wishful when he states his only chance of winning is the rivalry between Perez and Max as the RB19 is far superior. That's the old fox being the fox he is. Yes, he would like to win but he's already having a blast just being where AMR is for 2023. Just shows that all those years at McLaren and Alpine never slowed down his fire to win which it seems like some can't handle after handily won just because they had clearly superior equipment

ALO's last win was at Barcelona in '13 with Ferrari, I wish him luck in his quest for a win but my point was that it would be unlikely actually impossible he would gain a fortuitous win solely through any disagreement on the track between the championship leader and Checo as he suggested in his comment, they are too mature to collide with one another on the track (a la Senna/Prost) should a situation arise if they are both side by side.

Unlikely but not impossible. He could have said that in jest or he knows something we would never know.

I would say in jest (as a joke) Anything he thinks he knows or hears is just 'pub talk' he is told by others, that's the sly fox for you
