I just finished watching that show. Stroll's old man looks a massive rear end in a top hat with a retard son and Dan = cool and good / Max = gay babby.

Haas come out as the big winners for me.
Magnussen comes across as a turbo arsehole... but he's my kind of turbo arsehole. Big John comes across as a deeply flawed human being. Gunter Steiner seems fun.
Ocon comes across as a driving robot which is better than coming across like a loving twat which he used to, Tiny Man (Perez) comes across surprisingly like a paydriver (especially in all the shots they use of him and Slim, or when they juxtaposed him getting into a helicopter with Ocon getting into a Range Rover).
Renault come across as confused and confusing.
Sharl "Big Sharl" "#forzasharlarri" Leklerrr comes across really well too.
Horner comes across like the biggest twat in Formula 1, which is a tough ask but he managed it in the end. He comes across two faced to me, which might just be how I already saw him.
I don't know. I feel like the documentary didn't change my view on Max (when he matures, he's going to be a great driver but I don't think he's going to mature when his team refuses to pin anything on him) or Horny (two faced turbo prick) or Red Bull as a whole (a team rapidly losing it's grasp on relevance desperately grasping at straws to avoid being the next McLaren or Williams).

My top three drivers are now:
Daniel "Colgate Bogan" "Are Dan" "Big Ricky Danny" Ricciardo
Charles "Big Sharl" "#keepfightingjules" Lerclerc
Kevin "suck my balls honey" Magnussen

Do you legitimately see a path for Red Bull to win a WDC or a WCC?
If hell freezes over and Honda can actually meet Red Bull's size demand then sure, okay. But right now it's a two horse race with Red Bull a very distant third. I don't realistically see Honda providing a championship calibre power unit over the next couple of years and I don't realistically see the regulations changing in the next 5 to the point where Red Bull are going to get to a point where their lack of control over their power unit is going to be superseded by their traditionally stronger chassis.

In that sense, they are losing relevance; they're not a genuine part of the championship picture by the mid-season break.
Renault are attempting to gain relevance, but they're going at it in a deeply flawed way by shutting their eyes super tight and believing they can beat Ferrari or Mercedes while spending 2/3rds as much.

praise chuck, raise heck
Hong Kong ePrix is starting soon, and it poured during qualifying so the race should be good and chaotic. Also Vandoorne earned pole!?

Edit: And Red Flag because of too much bumper cars. Boo.

Edit two: Another absurd finish after a mostly calm race after the restart; this time with Sam Bird trying to get past Lotterer for most of the second half; ends up puncturing Lotterer’s tear tire with the car nose on the second to last lap and takes the checkered flag, but I bet he gets a penalty for it and drops way back.

Also Vandoorne had a mechanical problem and dropped from 4th to DNF.

They weren't a distant 3rd and Verstappen's extreme race-pace and willingness to fight put him clear ahead of both Ferrari drivers in the second half.
Lewis in a functioning Merc isn't going to be challenged over a season but both top teams have to adapt to Verstappen as a wild card.

Lewis will retire if RBR give him a competitive car.

I think my favourite Max behind-the-scenes type story is how even when he's pissing about in iRacing with his mates he still manages to annoy them with insane driving. He's probably not a prick in real life exactly, but I'm certain he has no idea why everyone is so mad at him because of his racing all the time.

iRacing nerds are massive pissants and the clips that went around were wildly out of context.
Also, it's a video game. If you don't ram people for fun and profit when someone is being a pissy little nerd boy then you're the pissy little nerd boy.

Also Max now holds a whole slew of iRacing records.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by this.... you realize Red Bull thought Dan was actually staying and Gasly was their emergency "oh gently caress dan actually left who the gently caress do we put in the team now" move. They didn't kick Dan out to put Gasly the Douche in.

On the other hand if you're talking about how you forgot about Gasly entirely then do you even watch Formula 1? Like, come on.
