Angry Bolsonaro noises. Ticking off my predictions from last year. I was not only right, I was so right Ferrari had torpedoed themselves before the season even started by getting caught cheating. Also right, didn't see that one coming!
Yeah, they're all gunna be amazing for F1, until they're not. What's the actual hit rate on the ZOMFG! F2 newbies lasting more than a season or two in the big boys league?
Not definite til RBR confirm it themselves, but it looks like Perez will be taking Albon's seat at RBR Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date
That's more like it - It'd be frikkin criminal for Perez to be without a drive next year, and it'll be interesting to how he compares to Max.
As long as Red Bull don't pull any shenanigans I expect him to give Max serious trouble, like Daniel Ricciardo levels of trouble. Max is probably a bit quicker than Perez, but Perez doesn't make silly mistakes, Max still does from time to time.
I wonder if it's a one year deal. Perez has options for 2022 and maybe they're just giving Albon a time out.
I wonder how Ferrari will fare next year, given the issues this year and the fact they've got a right pair of Charlies at the wheel...
Well they claim to have a radical monster of an engine for 2021... ...so they're gonna go backwards... natch. The bigger question is will the new head honcho of Ferrari, whoever that ends up being, stick by/with Binotto.
Looks like Binotto will be safe tho there will be restructuring around him. Biggest question......Who is Hulk going to replace this year?
