    The worst F1 race I've ever been to was and is still CoTA. Went twice (my first time there was like flash flooding & a lot of mud slicks), the second was perfect sunny weather, but comparatively speaking to other tracks I've been to around the world, It's one of my least favorite and least fun on the calendar...also costs way too much for what it is (not just the race, everything else too).

    Love Suzuka & Monaco, though Monaco, reality is you're not really going for the race :) but it's very fun.

    The attraction of Monaco in the rain is just the driving – the even more intense demands the conditions place on the drivers and how they respond.

    My first thought. Then I realized what an offense that is to hard working bees everywhere. Now I’m thinking more like sparrow nest….

    Monaco as a race has been destroyed by the size of the cars and the sound of the hybrid engines.

    If you've been to the Monaco race you'll know what I'm talking about. The race itself is never really been the main attraction (rain or shine), and the most exciting part of the weekend for me has always been just qualy and the off-track activities :D

    You're better off watching the race on the tele if you're just interested in on-track going ons.

    Sounds like you have been to Buddha Bar MC and various other night spots there;-), stunning creatures prancing around on Louboutins abound but not all are inoffensive, specially if they have a Russian accent da:D Caveat emptor.

    If Verstappen goes to Merc, I can see Horner taking a sabbatical and wait and see what happens. Without Newey and without Verstappen
    it looks like a major reset at RedBull.

    Horner might be out of a job as well.

    “The white Red Bull” sounds like an oxymoron, but it is a good looking car.

    Horner out of Red Bull Racing would be like when Ron Dennis departed from McLaren.
    These guys built these teams to what they are now.

    No one is immortal or a god and they can all be replaced. Mclaren are doing well again. No Ron required.

    But this is the current good advice given to Yuki lol:

    Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has set Yuki Tsunoda one simple target - get as "close as possible" to Max Verstappen.

    How soon before we hear this? :) :)

    'Yuki,Max is faster than you. Copy?'

    With the difference that Horner may land somewhere else, whereas Ron Dennis it was all over - no return form him.

    That's a way to make F1 cars shorter, adopt an transversal engine configuration.

    That's probably not allowed in the rules ...
