Max Verstappen boost as Red Bull delivers significant upgrade: https://racingnews365.com/huge-verstappen-boost-as-red-bull-delivers-major-upgrade

"... Red Bull is set to introduce a sizeable upgrade package to its RB21 at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, sources close to the Milton Keynes team have suggested.

Apart from the obvious adaptations to the car for wing-levels at the high-speed Jeddah circuit, upgrades Red Bull is bringing will not be immediately visible when the car is running on track with the main area of focus being the underfloor aerodynamics.

The central section of the floor will be modified where it connects with the Venturi channels at the side, thus creating a different pressure management underneath the car, and moving the centre of aerodynamic pressure rearwards.

In addition to the aerodynamic upgrades, it is also believed that the mechanical packaging inside the sidepods will be changed to simplify the internal fluid dynamics, but also to play with the weight distribution with the tiny freedoms permitted by the regulations.

Like the Ferrari SF-25, the RB21 is a sort of mismatch between the aerodynamic configuration and the vehicle dynamics, which is the current cause of the lack of balance and overall performance being endured by Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda.

The team believes that pure performance can be extracted in a proper way with the development programme, with Saudi Arabia being the first step in three development steps, with the second due for Miami and the final piece for Imola.

It is 'all in' for Red Bull, as it aims to recover and provide a stable performance platform across the next three races. ..."

Verstappen, shock offer! 264 million in 3 years to drive an Aston Martin: https://www.gazzetta.it/Formula-1/1...passare-dalla-red-bull-all-aston-martin.shtml

"... A mountain of money for the deal of the century. The operation that could bring Max Verstappen to Aston Martin has truly astronomical figures. The Dutchman, determined to leave Red Bull at the end of this season, would find himself signing the richest contract in the history of Formula 1: three hundred million dollars for the next three years (2026-2028), equivalent to 264 million euros. It might seem like fantasy, but it is reality for the simple fact that this mega transfer would be financed by the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia , determined to acquire ownership of the team from the Canadian magnate Lawrence Stroll, who has expressed intentions of selling it. ..."

Not really surprising. What would be surprising is Stroll selling the team, leaving his lighty to fight on merit...
 
I dont care if he doesnt win this championship, he's def going to win another one

All I read is Lance Stroll is out lol
 
If Oscar wants to win the title, this year is his chance. He has got the car. I like him and he is OK, but have not shown any brilliance yet like we have seen from other multiple champions.
Next year we have no idea what Mclaren or any other car's pace will be. Verstappen will be there for a few more years, Leclerc may come to his senses and move to a faster/more predictable team, Antonelli might proof to be a candidate.
So for Oscar the time is now or maybe never.
