If Helmut leaves, Max has an out in his contract.

Whether he does anything remains to be seen

So I was curious and looked deeper into the Ricciardo-Tsunoda situation in Bahrain, and my big takeaway mirrors basically what I thought at the end of last season: Honda must be cutting Red Bull an awfully large check to make this poo poo worthwhile for them.

- Before the last pit rotation Yuki had about a 6 second lead on KMag
- KMag undercut Yuki
- Yuki had an abysmal in lap, followed by an equally bad out lap, then got passed on track by KMag the next lap.
- Yuki couldn't retake the position and spent something like 15 laps getting held up by the Haas.
- Meanwhile Ricciardo was quite some distance back from Yuki before all of this, but put on softs on his last stop.
- Ricciardo was gaining about a second a lap on Zhou, and about .7s a lap on Yuki/KMag after his stop. Pace wise, at the closing stages of the race he was running pretty similar lap times as Oscar Piastri.
- The TV broadcast picked up the battle about a dozen laps in as Ricciardo was closing in on Tsunoda. So Yuki had quite a bit of time to take the battle to the Haas before getting told to swap positions.

It's almost like Yuki is a bad racecar driver.

Yeah I genuinely don't know why he would want to leave the team when it has by far and away the best car.

It's less that Max would leave right now but more that he would have that clause tieing him to Marko in the first place giving him that freedom if Red Bull weren't on top.

Anyway today in how is MBS a colossal gently caress up, he wanted to hold certification of the Vegas track over F1 in some weird power play or possibly just straight extortion.

Do you really think that racecar drivers, who live in Monaco to dodge taxes even though their post-tax income would be in the millions in their country of origin, would be swayed by money?

What are the odds that that circuit is actually built? It was first announced four years ago and there doesn't seem to have been any progress, even with the slave labor. Seems likely to me they just keep pushing it back and back, continuing to use Jeddah indefinitely

According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, after Red Bull's three-time champion Max Verstappen twice failed to give Horner unqualified backing in a news conference in Bahrain, Ben Sulayem approached the Dutchman and said he should publicly back his boss.

Verstappen, BBC Sport has been told, responded by saying Ben Sulayem should launch his own inquiry into the matter.

I think it means the angle between the straight part entering the corner and the straight part exiting the corner is over 90 degrees, not very difficult
