Sky commentators (I think it was Brundle) already saying things like Perez needs a good weekend, he needs to perform etc. Which is disappointing to hear. All the drivers who have moved have struggled to varying extents. Perez has the hardest job driving a car built for Verstappen, and they have very different styles. It's never going to be easy.
Aren't all drivers under pressure each race? Perez will have pressure on him, Red bull are ruthless if not good enough for them. Maybe Bottas has it too, Merc can say all they like but we know who they all prefer. For me young Mick S and poor old Mazepin have one of the toughest jobs, the Haas is so far behind every other car due to them not bothering with it as concentrating on next year, fair enough but each week must be tough for them?

I would want to distance myself from him professionally even if she were to race or use her maiden name professionally it wouldn't look as nepotistic. Even if he backed her career moves financially I would want him to be a silent partner in it or not have him publicly involved
Yes, absolutely agree.

My nephew is a race day support engineer for McLaren so basically has to know how to build the car it,s his 4th season and loves it. Mercedes have tried to poach him but he believes that McLaren are going from strength to strength now and on the cusp of success and is happy to stay where he is.
That's so awesome what a job can I ask how did he get into it?

Yeah agreed. Most of the outstanding drivers in F2 are with Ferrari (who have a say in the ferrari, haas and alpha seats) and red bull academy.
On another note, will be interesting to see what happens with Gasly. He won’t be going back to Red Bull so I guess his time at alpha tauri is limited…?

No Hemut is Grim Reaper and Christian is the Grin Reaper as in grim for the camera the attention seeking prat.
Agree Max knew more from his Dad and red bull gained from that, whereas Pierre Alex and Dani yes been in car racing or karts but not the knowledge of Max. Be interesting to see how Perez does as the rumours are already out there, new driver next year possibly. Just rumours maybe.
I meant the same as RedBull likes to emotionally abuse their new drivers with this stupid comments. But that is not new for Max, he can handle it since Jos does the same.

Snap! First time in Club Corner and can’t wait :LOL: we’re there for the full weekend.
Is anyone camping in Woodlands? It looks like there won’t be any entertainment this year so may be a bit quieter than usual..?
Yep we’re in woodlands too. 🏕

I'm just hoping McLaren don't suffer the curse of the special livery. I'm actually hoping Bottas goes for some heroics into Saint Devote, and takes out Hamilton and Verstappen at the same time so Lando wins and Danny gets a podium.

Clearly I'm an optimist. 😂
Same but that Danny wins and Lando a podium 😂

Lewis is not even hunting, just casually beats everybody!

Before we all fall asleep, lets mention how Daniel beats Lando, and Ocon is shining on this weekend!

Poetic justice pères penalty he's really driving like a douche today 3 grand prix in a row must be too many for him
Agree but really neither were penalties tbh but because the stupid stewards gave Lando a penalty they had to give Perez the same though both were different.
