It all started at Silverstone. 20 world championships. 10 world champions. Most constructors titles. No other nation comes close.

I'm a Lewis fan, but honestly, you guys who prefer these commentators to the Sky crew can have them lol.

I watch with sky commentary. Have no choice pre and post. Having said that, they’re arguably better than when they started.

Yeah, my comment wasn't directed at you, it was an observation on the hyped up article.

Things still not rosy at red bull.
Although the Dutch driver managed to win his fourth consecutive drivers' title last year, it was a tumultuous season for the team both on and off the track.
Commercially, there are also signs of trouble. Sergio Perez's sponsors Claro and Telcel have predictably left the team, but so too have Intel and Poly.
And cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, with its prominent sponsorship on the rear wing, has opted not to extend its reportedly $50 million a year deal.
Jos Verstappen, however - having clashed badly with Horner in 2024 - is not optimistic about the coming season.
I'm a little doubtful, he told f1-insider.com. "Red Bull needs to build a car that is more predictable in all conditions. Looking at the second half of 2024, you can't be optimistic.
Red Bull just hasn't managed to make the car consistently fast, so why should that be the case this year? the former F1 driver added.
He sees the departure of technical genius Adrian Newey as key to the team's problems.
I think so, said Jos. "It is a fact that the car did not improve after he left the team. The updates no longer worked as intended.
I have talked enough about the reasons why the team is in danger of falling apart, Verstappen senior, 52, added. Let's leave it at that. One thing is certain - Red Bull has a big task ahead of it in 2025.
Max has also admitted in recent days that if Red Bull starts the season with a car similar to the 2024 model, he will not win a fifth title.
His father says that could trigger Verstappen's departure.
Yes, anything is possible, Jos said. "He can stay at Red Bull if he sees the point in it. His goal is still to be able to win races.
If he feels that this is no longer possible at Red Bull, a change is not out of the question.

We have two rookies who were born when Alonso won his two championships this year. Flip. Incredible innings by Nando.

Interesting.
Where there is smoke...
This imo would make the most sense for Max. Newey and Honda are two partnerships that he knows and trusts. Not to mention the other key RB staff that made their way over to Aston or other teams. But that price tag.. hell, seems a bit much for one driver.

Not really surprising if it happened, a lot of people predicted he would just follow Newey...

Dunno about zero. Healthy Skepticism
After all, they did the same type of article about Hamilton and Ferrari a year before it was announced...they did an article about Hamilton retiring after 2021.
and one about Merc pulling out of F1.
and countless other "articles" that are just pure outrage bait to generate clicks. there is zero journalism at that tabloid.

So, a tiny bit more than zero
