Perez is just embarrassing.

Without sounding harsh, hopefully he won’t get his contract renewed next for next year, or is he there till the end of 25 already?

He doesn’t appear to have a contract beyond this season. I think he has to be off surely. Can’t see why they would keep him anymore.

Probably for the best really, not that I was ever expecting him to beat Verstappen, but he's not even been close.

Bad weekend for Fernando

Lawrence Stroll "Fernando, I'd love it if you made Lance feel good this weekend"

(Please say in Stroll senior accent)

Imola 1991 full race

[Robbo-92]

Bottas going back to Williams seems to be getting a bit of momentum as of late, it'd be a very solid, if unspectacular signing for them, if this is the case then I can actually see Antonelli getting fast tracked into the Mercedes seat, nowhere near as much pressure when you're fighting for 5th at best on a weekend rather than the WDC/WCC.

This also leaves Sainz with Red Bull and Sauber/Audi as his two favourable options then, think a lot will depend how much people expect Red Bull/Ford to mess up the new engine regulations, in theory Audi should be at the very worst, a solid engine for 2026, it’s not like they’re brand new to developing hybrid engines after all. With Red Bull, it's hard to say, sure they've poached a lot of staff from elsewhere, but that doesn't guarantee success.

McLaren reveal Senna livery for Monaco.

I like it.

[Robbo-92]

It's certainly better than the standard livery, still far from the 2021 Gulf inspired livery they ran once though in my opinion.

[Vermilion]

My 2024 Fernando cap arrived today

Will film an unboxing video asap.

It did give a great taki quote "It's true! I learn that in UK. When balls move, brain is fine. When big crash, scissors, take off the overalls, see the balls, hit the balls, then when balls move, this guy's fine. If balls don't move, then there's a problem with brain damage, I think."

But will Williams want him only for a year? I know Albon probably didn’t have many options, but Sainz surely had more options than Williams? Maybe they look promising for 2026? Impossible to say though.
