@BearsEatBeets Christ, I didn't think Lewis going to Ferrari surprise story could be topped this year but...

TBH if I was Red Bull i'd ditch Horner in a heartbeat if it meant keeping Newey, one feels replaceable the other doesn't.

Ferrari would be a fascinating fit.

@themightyant While seeming highly unlikely, the occasional story about Max being up for moving still float around. Maybe he heard about Newey's feelings and it's not as far fetched as I thought.

If it were to end up being Ferrari it would make Lewis' move look even more brilliantly timed than his Mercedes move from Maclaren.

Going to have to keep a close eye on this as this is bigger than any driver move in my opinion.

@BearsEatBeets 100%

It’s all coming out now that there is a BIG power struggle at Red Bull and they tried to get rid of Helmut Marko but Max basically prevented that as there is a release clause in his contract if Marko leaves. (Edit) Plus battle between Red Bull's Austrian and Thai arms, likely since both founders Dietrich Mateschitz and Chaleo Yoovidhya have passed on, the next generation is squabbling. Will be very interesting to see how this all plays out. More exciting than most of the action on track at the moment

@themightyant I wonder if Newey will decide to skip Miami next weekend, pretty it's not unusual for him to not be present for some races. I can picture Horner dealing with questions through gritted teeth already.

Oh boy this has got interesting! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Congratulations Lando!

Totally controlled it and deserves the luck he got.

Awesome Race. Whenever there is a safety car it always benefits some and hinders others but his pace in the the lead up to the safety car got him that spot. To be honest I didn't think he was going to be able to hold off Max after the restart, especially as Max seemed right on him when they were released and almost had a go into the first corner. After that though he just dropped him and kept pulling away.

Very popular result too with so many drivers going over to congratulate him. Nice touch from Alonso to go and congratulate the team straight after too.

Fingers crossed Maclaren can continue to bring the fight to Red Bull going forward.

Typical that the weekend I was away is one of the more exciting. I was watching when I could from my phone. I saw a lot of the sprint and had half an eye on the race. Congrats Lando, been a long time coming.
