Watch for Kimi Antonelli. He’s going to be the next superstar.

That would obviously be devastating for Red Bull! Maybe that’s why Hamilton made the move to Ferrari? Heaven help us.

It certainly appears that Fred is attempting to re-build Ferrari around Hamilton, (and LeClerc by extension of course), much like the Brawn/Schumacher era. It sort of seems like it from reports anyway, and if Newey were to move to Ferrari, everything changes. Hey, who wouldn’t want a lovely ‘Company’ house in Italy for when the weather sucks in the UK? lol

if RB happens to make the idiotic move to sack Horner and then they lose Newey, I see RB imploding and losing Max as collateral damage. we'll see what happens on friday, but this could be the dumbest move ever by RB and a catalyst for everything else. **** the power struggle, you're the most dominate team in F1. why **** that up?

Rebuilding your team around a 39 year old driver on the decline seems like a typical Ferrari move these days. In other words, it does not make much sense....

Breakdown of telemetry for the two Ferrari drivers. I found it interesting. Click through to watch on YouTube.

crazy that they are so concerned with weight now that they no longer paint the full car. they're all black with hints of color now. i like the old days where the livery was bolder and louder.

I wonder if Horner sent the pic in question with the heading "pole position."

Thank you for sharing. These guys have been blending pedals since their karting days so no surprise there. The first thought that came to mind when watching this video was the analysis of Max's driving style and how he actual brakes earlier than other F1 drivers because he's trying to keep the car level, which is necessary with these ground effect cars. The blending of pedals essentially is trying to do the same so there isn't a lot of pitch back and forth. It would have been interesting to see data from a track that demands massive threshold braking such as at the end of the back straight at COTA to see if they completely come off throttle.

But yes, you're right in the fact that it really took off after his passing in August of 1988....
