2024 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

[chrisc90]

The just about sums Checo's season up.

I really hope the right choice is made for next year in terms of driver line up. P3 in WCC and the extra time for 2026 is a bonus I guess.

If RedBull wont be as competitive as it was in last couple of seasons i expect Max to become the most crash prone driver on the grid. Today he managed another stupidity which was not needed to happen.

The guy sees orange and thinks he needs to crash in it at all costs.

[Peter Piper]

It all depends what's in his contract.

He seems sure he has an iron clad contract to race for RB next year, but I can't believe RB wouldn't have put some form of power on their side to cut things short given his performance level at the time they signed it.

Either:
- he hasn't met the performance targets so the team can break the contract with no penalty?
- the team has the option for next year and not Perez?
- Perez has been promised a race seat for next year, but that doesn't mean it's going to be a RB seat?
- ...

...or maybe Perez does indeed have them over a barrel and he'll be paid off.

Whatever the situation I just can't see him driving at RB next season. No matter what sponsorship he brings in it surely can't be worth it.

That T1 lunge was daft imo, I don't understand why Max still has to pull of these all or nothing moves when nothing is on the line. Seriously, take a chill pil. He could have fought with piastri and carlos later in the race by just slotting in behind oscar.

[Wouter]

Will Buxton reporting this is Perez last race with RBR, when did this all happen? is this true? anyone has any news

There is no actual news, only rumours.

.
Yesterday Max was on the Dutch F1 broadcast and he was speaking about Perez in the past tense.
"He was always a good colleague and I always had a lot of fun with him" and so on.
I can't show it here because there is a geo block on it.

redbull need to get on top of their car and max need stop acting like he has a magnet that attract him to other cars and induce a collision ,he also need to respect and stop blaming others .he got a lot of penalties in the last races he is not a rookie anymore.i will put my money on lando winning next year champ

[Juzh]

Also Max now on 8 penalty points. He'll have to seriously calm down if he doesn't want to get Magnussened, but I think he'd still rather sit one out than change his approach.

[napoleon1981]

Those crashes happen. Max clearly was only interested in the win. He has been on the receiving end of these moves too. Russell in Baku understeering into his side. Hamilton in the famous silverstone one. Anyway like I always said, it is up to the car sticking the nose on the inside to keep it clean. Deserved penalty, people will still fear Max which will help next year.

[chrisc90]

Optimistic move - agree. But I think a bit of lap 1 turn 1 should have come into it here rather than the penalty.

Not much out the way given there was nothing to play for

[Sergej]

Bit of an unnecessary move from Max, pathetic penalty afterwards, but again, who cares. Glad these absurd penalties didn't interfere with the championship.

Onto next year, which will be a different story I fear.

I'm worried about him being targeted next year for his 'stupid idiots' comment. Or can they give him ao sort of fine for that?

It was a terrible move, with nothing at stake in the race. Could have fought for the podium (not sure whether it was achievable, but could have tried) by staying P3. He had already made a place on Sainz before T1.

Mclaren thread is full of words like 'dutch pig' 'wdc bastard' etc etc... and it was comic relief to read them. Mclaren fans have waited for many years, they deserve the delirium. Past 16 years dominated by just two teams.

Max apologised to Oscar post race

Its embarrassing reading that thread. Yet its the RBR that are the baddies or the bullies or the fanbase causing all the toxic behaviour. LOL!!.

Mods going to have some serious cleaning up to do there looking at some of the reported posts.

[napoleon1981]

Well there is some frustration in the mclaren forum, losing a wdc with a wcc winning car hurts. We have seen it in the merc threads as well. They are still coping with it.
