that was in April, so not really recent
I know that he was there at Kings Day but not that with the nose.
FP1 Spa
normally engine on 85% on friday for Verstappen, so that might be interesting tomorrow
nad what to say about Checo?
Last weekend in a Red Bull?
Gone a little bit more up and down for the dutchman lately, so the base for revenge is there.
Checo is under an existing contract right?
He is in top10. That is better than I thought…
There is some indications that Checo is under a certain pressure about being kicked out. But there is the same indications with Magnussen for example that has been going on for a long time. He is still there. So no need to take it too seriously.
contracts don’t say anything there, performance is what counts
Magnussen has no pressure, he knows that he has no contract for 2025 and there are no signs that they will replace him this year
Probably a performance clause I would reckon. The media likes to have something extra to print about, so they call it extra pressure.
Bruno Famin will leave Alpine
FP2
McLaren very fast, also in the long runs on the mediums, the hards and softs Max was faster
McLaren more than 1 second faster than Mercedes with the same engine, so something is wrong there
Mercedes sucks maybe?
any doubts?
the mercs basically put themselves 2 years behind in development
Breaking!
Valtteri wants to compete at the Olympics
FP3
Wet session, only a few laps driven due to a red flag caused by Stroll so not really interesting
What a “surprise”
well… it was not Sargeant , and even Perez could go on after losing it
