Another take on the Helmut Marko rumors. The potential fallout if he leaves regarding Max Verstappen's future is huge. Don't even need to read between the lines of Max's comments to see the implications.

Interesting theory on the RB power struggle .

I bet Porsche is breathing a little sigh of relief that they didn't buy into this soap opera.

The power struggle theory now appears to be more than just a theory. The plot thickens as its gets grimier by the day. Hopefully it all quiets down and goes away but I wouldn't bet on it.

The Fallon/Burnett still shot a few posts earlier from their soap opera parody skit 10-years ago fits...

(ATWT: As The World Turns was on TV for 54 years. How does that happen??? Lol)

What a race for the 18 year old Bearman !! Started 11th and finished 7th . Great job kid . Max again on cruise control but Perez another 2nd place finish . Very strong start for RB .

Another disgrace of a race for Alpine . Sauber and Vcarb struggle for pace . Congrats to Hulk for scoring a point , this year's Haas chassis is MUCH better than last year's.

I wasn't able to watch, so thanks for the update.

Fantastic job for the"fill-in" driver Bearman. That will turn some heads.

Bearman was the high point of the race weekend. He was the only one smiling

Albon crashes and damages the chassis to the point it can't be fixed at the track . Williams doesn't have a spare tub at the track ! So they are benching Logan and letting Alex drive the car the rest of the weekend . I get that it makes business sense to let the faster driver try to get points . But how is this showing Williams is " adding value " to the sport ?

Of course I am referencing the reason Andretti/Cadillac were turned down for not proving they " added value " to the series . Ridiculous as far as I am concerned . And I am a fan of Williams as I like the underdog role . Good luck to Alex and I think this moment in time may be the end of Logans F1 career .
