I’ve spoken to someone today who has friends in F1 and apparently Danny was told last year that they wouldn’t be keeping him for 2023!

Also that he’d been offered a sideways move to IndyCar and he wasn’t interested.

Piastri's mental better be made of steel. What a mess to start his f1 career with.

I think DR might stay for another year.
Kimi is racing in NASCAR (and I personally find NASCAR more fun to watch), so that could be something to explore in one or two years.

i still don’t know why whoever is advising him has gone down this path - like you say, what a cloud to enter f1 under. i know most of it isn’t his fault as such but i can’t imagine this is how you would want your career to start. he’d better hope he does well!

always thought that about dr and nascar too, he also seems to really love the us so could see him settling there.

It’s a PR disaster. Oscar was so well liked in the community with everyone rooting for him to get his first F1 seat, but opinion seems to be changing now… including myself in this 😂 Gone right off him after he started liking all the memes.

Alpine we’re going to loan Oscar to Williams for the year and supposedly he even had a seat fitting with them…

Keep in mind that Oscar still has an FP1 session to do this year with Alpine.

He is bringing the drama this silly season.

oscar really woke up one day and thought “i am going to have the most dramatic entrance to f1 ever” 🤣

i was wondering about his fp1 session! surely that can’t go ahead now with all this, but i would absolutely love if it did.

helmut’s comments about pierre yesterday kinda made me sad too. basically saying he has to stay as red bull third choice because no one else can do it - free him from rb, they’re wrecking his career :( (and obligatory, free charles from ferrari because i need to include that in all my posts)

it’s time to set up some kind of heist team. i feel like charles is easily distracted so we can lure him away 🤣 i really am turning into that meme of the guy yelling at the cat 🤦🏼‍♀️

even though i’m biased i can admit charles maybe has it “easier” though, in terms of him obviously being ferrari’s favourite even if they treat him wrong! rb have always done bad by pierre :(

Thanks for reminding me of that cat video again, off to watch it! 😂 I’MA GET YOU OUTTA THERE.

It breaks my heart thinking of all the things Pierre could’ve achieved at the right team. All these years wasted holding out for a second chance at a RB seat 😭 Man is basically a glorified reserve driver at this point.

Free the pear!
Pierre must be so desperate to get outta of RB the Grim Reaper and Mr Geri Halliwell do not give him the credit he deserves. Perez must bring some money.

Just saw this on Instagram. Erm of true FAR to much detail boy

i think perez brings big bucks tbh, a friend of mine was in mexico a few months back and was blown away by how many billboards and advertisements he’s on 🤣 i also think (purely from memory) that his father is a very popular figure in mexico - i want to say he’s a politician but i could be wrong! he definitely brings a market that pierre sadly doesn’t.

all pierre needed really was a little bit more patience when he first took that rb seat, but i guess they were used to having young drivers just hit the ground running and not needing that extra attention. it’s such a shame for him career wise as i think, on a more nurturing team, he would have done so well (like, picture him having george’s career path!)

yeah RB need Checo to keep a presence in Latin America which is a huge market. Obviously he's a good driver so it's fair enough, but what's that saying again... oh yeah, CASH IS KING!

Pierre must be so worn down by it all. I know the drivers are all rich boys who can handle themselves but he's been treated quite poorly for years and it's not nice. I hate how cutthroat it all is sometimes 🥺

i think this too 🥺 i mean obviously he’s living a decent life, doing his dream job, making a ridiculous amount of money and slagging around with models and whatnot (😉) but i do wonder really what impact it has on him. he knows he’s with a team who didn’t/don’t really value him and that he’s really just being held there as a well paid third choice. must be hard when so many of his peers from that generation, including his best friend, have gone on to “better”. i always like that charles makes a point to mention pierre when he’s asked about that group of drivers.

but then writing psychological studies of f1 drivers is my favourite thing. hopefully he’s fine 🤣
