So, let me get this right:

• The woman in question was "cozy" with Jos for some time in the past ?
• Christian was messaging her, and that got her spooled up and Jos spooled up... even though they werent a thing any more ?
• The Verstappens are very close with Marko
• That Max's exit clause is if Marko leaves
• Marko says he loves RB and isnt going anywhere
• SO - Marko is going to leave to then trigger Max's exit so he can go to Mercedes ?
• AND the likelihood that Marko gets a role with Mercedes is like zero ?

Man, this should like a lot of noise and drama and speculation, and I just dont see Marko leaving and essentially ending his career just so Max can go elsewhere

What am I missing here ?

Ive seen those hand gestures ! I thought it was a Canadian compliment !!

I'm reminded of:

I have NEVER given the bird to ANYONE on track.

But Gerry Low once gave it to me on the back straight at Mosport.

I almost didn't make Turn 8.

Flying the bird while 4-wheel-drifting with one hand.

Now THAT'S talent!

Carlos Sainz is OUT of the SA GP with appendicitis and will require surgery. Reserve driver Oliver Bearman (????) to step in..... more bad luck for Scuderia.

IF RB suspended, or let this women go, there are only two choices: 1. the Red Bull organization does not have a credible HR department and just stepped into a bigger world of $h*t; or 2. this women is not credible and trying to use the dying gasps of the "me too" movement to get a nice payout.

Before moving to a Cup car I was often the giver of the finger, but now I am more often the recipient. I don't know what their complaint is because it is my corner.

Bearman took pole yesterday in GP2, some connection to John Elkann (Agnelli family money, not a problem). In the top-10 in FP3 truncated session with only one soft tire run. All good.

I saw that RB put the lady on paid leave, not fired her. But who knows - it's a soap opera. Or Scooby Doo episode. I'm not sure which.

ProCoach

If the RB employee brought potentially explosive charges to the attention of RB management, and even if CH used a mediation clause in his contract to MAKE SURE a third party investigation was brought in straight away even though the Austrian side might have wanted to dismiss CH right away, and the third party’s investigation found the charges were not credible, you can be damned sure RB management would fire that employee.

Wow! Tables turned?

Hats off to Bearman. Hundredths off a many time WDC with less than an hour in the car. Star of the future.

11th for a first quali is impressive. I was really hoping he would get into Q3!

Aston Martin and McLaren really seem strong this weekend.

I thought for sure it was Jos, or Jos led the "leak". Marko being part of this seems about right

ProCoach

Folks need to consider he’s 18 years old… Also, the first driver to debut in a Ferrari F1 race in 52 years, the last being Arturo Merzario (who was a standout in their World Sportscar Championship winning team that year).

Clearly there is a sea change within Ferrari’s thinking, no doubt due to the leadership of Fred and the fact that he has worked with young drivers and has been one of the top talent scouts for a long time. The team and Elkann is supporting him, so it’s all good.

Alonso is amazing. True grit. Lance is not too shabby, either. I love the Papaya Pair. The car is clearly good and getting better.
