Hello

When did you get out of jail?

I quarantined myself for 12 months to help flatten the curve

They have Wi-Fi in quarantine, or were you quarantined in your caravan in the middle of nowhere?

R900 million from SA Tourism to sponsor a foreign Premier League team that isn't even the top club in their city let alone champions of England or Europe...

But no money to sponsor the first F1 race in South Africa in almost 30 years. #JustANCLogic

Time to sober up, Smurf. Your 12 month binge drinking is now over and you need to come back to the real world.

Does someone actually get paid for the RBR livery?

Seems to me they could have met the cost cap last year if they just didn't pay someone to do no work.

RB's standard season livery usually is pretty meh to begin with. The white honda tribute and honda /testing camouflage designs were awesome.

Mind your language Dave, you are being overly polite to call him a cnut

Perfectly acceptable language, he's about as arrogant as King Cnut who thought he could order the tide to reverse

Knut was a Viking, more Kimi Räikkönen style, Max is still trying to find his level but but all common superlatives are far to mild to describe his arrogance and attitude.

But Kimi wasn't arrogant, he didn't act like the prima donna of his team and think team orders were only for the little people.

Hmmm. Interesting thread.

Any take-aways from this?

So what are we feeling WRT the rookies this year?

I'm expecting De Vries to do well, battling in the middle order nicely.
Piastri has a good car if recent years are anything to go by. If that holds true, I'm expecting some good results, maybe a podium even.
Logan Sargent is definitely going to be one of the drivers this year and I am definitely expecting him to get some race finishes.

Only other rookie is Stroll and I expect him to get utterly mutilated at every step by Alonso. DTS is going to be R-rated next year.
