When Bernie ran things that's probably what would happen. There would be a meeting behind closed doors and he would browbeat Red Bull into selling the team for the good of the sport. Because this pissing match over who's allowed in and why looks bad.
This is exactly what people feared with American ownership of this sport. Bernie is an old-school British businessman, focused on long-term stability with the short term mainly focused on managing crisis and exploiting opportunities when they present themselves. He built the sport to the point of immaculate professionalism and gave it near-global recognition as the technological pinnacle of motorsport. These intangibles are something that don't show up on an Excel spreadsheet or in a checkbook.
Verstappen was pretty vocal about this so it's not just boomer talk. He also brought up the issue of the engines at the same time.
I hope so. We need shit to turn sideways so Alpine can win again.
Well the track is on fire (literally) thanks to the sparks from the cars so I guess well predicted.
The timing of Norris's reinstatement was perfect. Those cathartic seconds after the end of qualifying, with the Hamilton ball-washing, courtesy of the Sky commentators, building momentum, only for pole to be snatched away. Norris number one. Hamilton number two.
That fight for 3rd was fantastic. Probably one of the few good sprints we've had.Max pulls 13 second lead in 10 laps...
Would've been an extremely dull race without Alonso there to spice things up. Shame he had to retire the car.
