I think if you stick either Lawson or Colapinto in a Red Bull right now, they can end up worse off kinda like Albon or Gasly. I'd like to see RBR promote Tsunoda for 25, while "rookies" duke it out in the sister team. Since Honda is moving to Aston in 26, if Red Bull wanted to drop Tsunoda, they would have two drivers who could replace him. I'm not saying this is the best or most likely move for Red Bull, but I think Liam and Franco deserve to drive for a full season before getting destroyed by Max.

Edit: spelling

I'm sure FIA will penalize the British driver known as Lando Norris for breaching the aborted start procedure.

I'm all for Red Bull downfall

"Max was created by FIA.

He evolved.

He rebelled.

And he has a plan."

With 8 Grand Prix and 3 Sprints to go Lando would need to outscore Max by 7.75 points on average every remaining race weekend. Considering Red Bull's struggles with their car and competitiveness of Mercedes and Ferrari, just a mix of consistent podiums and wins would give Norris a good shot at WDC. Even today he closed the gap by 8 points, and there's still Singapore and Qatar coming up, so I'm expecting a bigger swing in favour of McLaren. It's baffling they aren't using every opportunity to give Norris every possible point right now. I understand not wanting to strip Piastri of his first win in Hungary, but today their unwillingness to issue team orders cost them easy points.

On the other hand, good for Piastri. Unless McLaren takes a clear stance on prioritizing Lando, Oscar has no reason to act like his ~~doormat~~ number 2 driver. It would be hard for him to shake that reputation, and who knows how the WDC fight will look like in 2025.

The only story that pops up is a pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi. No fatalities, 46 people hospitalized. ~~Maybe OP is misremembering?~~

3 stopper yet somehow nothing happening on track

Fidesz is nonaligned as well, judging by the polls it'll be about 9 or 10 seats for them.

For the sake of consistency they probably shouldn't grant an exception, but I would prefer if this rule didn't exist at all. Let teams take risks with young drivers, it's not like the grid would be full of 17 year olds if there wasn't an age limit.

But F1 is racing in the US, in theory there's a threat of Vegas, Miami or COTA cancelling their contracts.

No, you can't stop engineers from testing aero in their heads, but I would imagine teams are required to keep logs and documentation of development work/wind tunnel time/computer simulations for FIA to inspect at any time. It's nothing new either, each team has a wind tunnel time and CFD allocation per season, and there's no development allowed over the summer break. I suppose in the end you have to trust that FIA is enforcing these rules properly, but you can never know for sure.

Maybe it's just the cheddar.
