Calling it now, if Liam doesn’t score points in the race and Yuki does, Yuki will take his seat for his home race next week.

We’ll see if Red Bull has the balls to make such a move. There is enough egg on their face.

They changed the Ferrari setup . But the outcome was #FerrariThings

But the RB21 is even worse . The RB21 setup is like an endless lottery (!)

The car that can keep the tires alive wins the Chinese GP.
And that's the Papaya car ...

Negative . That's always Horner and partly Helmut Marko.

Yes mate . I couldn't agree more

Last year , MAX named his car : 'Frankenstein (!) => https://www.google.be/search?q=frank...AQ&sclient=img

Liam will not score points. he said following the cars will degrade his tires such that even if he were faster he won't be able to do much.

'Slowson gets 3 more races , then he gets his first race evaluation (meeting) with Horner and Helmut Marko .

That's May 4 at Miami.

Still at it the usual dirty rotten scoundrels, playing it to the very last minute until they have to comply.

impossibly low. Perez, street circuit specialist with a few wins could hardly break into the top 10 all of last year

that said, if the odds we favourable i'd chuck in a few quid for a chance at a million dollars. imagine the money the bookies can make. (or lose). eg if a 100 million people placed a $10 bet on a Lawson win some time this year.

Like I said, even the worst hitter in the MLB hits a home run from time to time. The dirty air cooks the tires for anyone following. I usually don't make predictions but Ham will get a taste of what it's like driving in the dirty air starting from 5th.

Unless the front half of the field DNF's for whatever reasons then there is more of a chance

IF he put on softs last week (instead of medium) and held on in the softs until the rain cleared, he'd have won the race. him and max stayed out on Mediums, max came in but Lawson lost the car. the what if - would be what if they put on softs ...
