Ocon! Never heard that. He is an ass.
Bottas would be a better choice. I don't think he is signed anywhere yet for next year.
That’s exactly who I would have put in the car, solid driver, seems like a team player, maybe not the fastest anymore but I thought he would be a good mentor for a rookie. I know Ocon and Gasley have bad blood going back to carting but he doesn’t seem to be able to work with anyone.

Mercedes, McLaren, Red Bull duking it out today at Silverstone. This is F1 heaven. First time in a long time F1 has my full attention 😒
Agreed full attention today, am a Hamilton guy but looking very good for Lando

He seemed more surprised than anyone!
True, I believe the loss of confidence after much time of little to no success...especially being thoroughly and fairly being shown the dust by Russell

Great race with several lead changes. A welcome departure from Max leading from start to finish. Looks like Red Bull dominance is over.

Last race with Mercedes at Silverstone and Hamilton wins it. The old dog still has it 👏

McLaren shoots themselves in the foot again. But the way they emerged 1, 2 mid race showed they are primed to win several races going forward.

Let's go racing 😒

I don't think the Red Bulls are slow, I think Max is suffering neck and shoulder problems from carrying the weight of the whole fucking team! Perez starts 19th and finishes 17th (only because of a DNF and a DNS). He's in one of the fastest cars on the track, and he can't get through the pack?! Disgraceful!

My observations; Ever since Newey was excluded from the team and technical meetings as a result of his resignation; immediately Red Bull started struggling...Newey was instrumental in the set up whenever RB struggled to get the sweet spot.

The upgrades introduced in Imola didn't put them any further up...looked like they hit a neutral gear.

Or, has RB hit the development ceiling? Sooner or later was bound to occur. However McLaren have adapted the RB design philosophy and improved further .
