Not sure I could love Seb anymore. Don’t normally watch question time but will be tuning in on 12th May 🥰🥰🥰
Oh wow I'm really surprised about this (in a good way). That's a really big name for question time. I think he'll do amazing, will definitely be tuning in!

I can see that corner with all the Gainbridge branding before the long straight causing some trouble tomorrow!

Gonna call it... Ricciardo won't be staying at McLaren next year. Contract schmontract. He's underperforming again and yes, we're only a few races in but it will be affecting his overall mental resilience & performance. If this continues, I wouldn't rule out them replacing him this year. Perhaps they are not as cut-throat as Red Bull though 🤔

To be fair today it seemed like an issue on his second to last hot lap and then they had him in the pits for too long which meant he only had one last run at it.

But other times he is underperforming. I think it's hard being up against Lando also, Sky today on their British bias bs saying he should have won 3 races at this stage.. like ok he has not won even one, calm down.

I did think his time has passed and I say this as a DR fan, especially in the RB days. He was right to leave and I think he wanted Ferrari and never got the seat but he would have ended up like Sainz who also seems to fold under the pressure, slightly.

Yes, it went against him somewhat today which I'm sure adds to the frustration!

And I agree, the Lando adulation is nauseating. Do I think he will be a world champ? Yes. But not this year. The hype is annoying.

Also agree with your Daniel/Sainz comparison. Great drivers but it seems always in the shadow of a team mate. Hoping Sainz can conquer the pressure tomorrow and get a win. That's if Max doesn't annihilate them both 😈😂

i’m a little behind because i was out last night (don’t my friends understand my f1 commitments) but good lord this track is a mess 🤣 i’m predicting at least two safety cars today.

i honestly put daniel/carlos/pierre in the same group. talented drivers that have just never been on the right team at the right time. daniel and carlos both seem to end up as the “happy” and supportive co-driver for the younger teammate who is the team’s favourite - carlos and pierre definitely have more time but i do wonder what daniel will do at the end of this season.

I'm not looking forward to the race the track looks a mess. I hope carlos does well 🙏. Can't see Daniel being around after this season I'm still salty he kept his Renault seat and they booted Hulk

I really got this vibe in this weeks f1 nation podcast, Zak brown was being super enthusiastic about the Indy boys, especially herta.

Daniel got mclarens first win in ages, no one can take that away from him. I do wonder where he could go though?

it makes me sad to say because i love danny ricc but i don’t think there’s anywhere for him to go - every team seems fairly set up with their plans and direction, i don’t really know where he’d fit, and i definitely couldn’t see him taking a step down to somewhere like williams/aston martin etc.

he’d do really well in media work imo. he’s very articulate and popular, and would probably be a decent interviewer because everyone likes him (rather than nico who just makes everyone awkward 🤣) that’s if he wanted to go into that direction but i think he’d excel at it.

I don't understand why you'd put Herta in an F1 car, he keeps making mistake and bottling it in IndyCar. Not showing he deserves a chance in an F1 seat.

Plot twist, Danny ric gets the merc seat when Lewis leaves at the end of the year.

say Lewis wanted a break, they could do a temp contract for 2 years 👀 as I really think Lewis will want to come back but just needs a break

Did you see the part where Martin Brundle looked concerned about the amount of concrete on the run offs. I just hope everyone has a safe race.

I like Danica but what championship was she watching?

She should've said he almost won the championship last year against Michael Masi.

Everything she says is so generic, nothing technical or insightful, I could do better! Hate how they wheel her out for every US race 😡

I'm glad I'm not the only person who can't stand Danica Patrick. She doesn't say anything. Sky have Naomi on staff if they want a woman, but we don't need an ignorant American. Find one who knows her stuff.
