    Tsunoda looks like an impolite uneducated teenager.
    Very representative of some people within this new generation.

    Tsunoda's outburst are getting old for sure, but I can understand this one to some degree. You make a swap to give Ric a better finish after he did his typical mediocre performance. Even on the better tires, he couldn't even come close to catching Mags. He is the king of self promotion, but hopefully people are seeing he is a mid-pack driver for sure. My prediction is that Yuki will bury Ric like Lando did and make him utterly irrelevant for the season.

    Years later its an issue he should solve lol

    Tsunoda: More self-control over "heated" F1 moments "the thing I have to improve”
    RB driver Yuki Tsunoda reckons having more self-control over “getting heated” during difficult on-track moments is “the thing I have to improve” as he progresses in his Formula 1 career.

    Not only. This attitude is now invading the space of well educated and affluent people in society.

    Now, when people get hot under the collar, they resort to insults and expletives, whatever their background.

    I agree. I could see no reason for the swap.

    RB team boss Laurent Mekies says the team’s future aerodynamic facility adjacent to Red Bull’s campus in Milton Keynes is expected to come online by the end of 2024.

    Interesting that the team moved from Faenza to Milton Keynes.
    If RBVisa (what's the name?) improves too much, surely the proximity with Red Bull Racing will be questionned.
    I would say it would be very difficult to deny that the know-how from the later doesn't permeate to the former.

    Possibly but the resistance and statements from Mclaren are not yielding any movement by the FIA to possibly relook what this arrangement is. The precedent of Haas seems to be holding. Zak at Mclaren is the loudest voice but we see what that means overall. Nothing. VCARB appears as bad as Toro Rosso overall. Zero improvement.

    It could be objected that it's not the same, IMO.
    Ferrari and Haas are 2 separate companies located in different countries.
    Red Bull and VCARB (if that's the name) are 2 teams belonging to the same owner.
    Now, they have been relocated next to each other, which could raise eyebrows.
    As usual, it may take. time for the FIA to react, but Zak Brown has a point.

    Toro Rosso enabled the Honda engine deal which ultimately put RBR back on top.

    IF only Mclaren had taken the stance of Toro Rosso with Honda.....what could have been.

    They do not have the aero at all. They have not and arent about to find a Newey to guide them. I like Mclaren but they are not at all a major contender. They have good backing and not enough talent. They are more name and history than anything else. Zak is not the solution at all. Bahrain (Mumtalakat) is looking to sell Mclaren off. Reported by various sources the last week. They note the losses the road car entity is suffering and the significant amount of investment into them since 2020 and its not paying off at all.

    He's talking about 2015. Back then Mclaren insisted on the size zero concept and Honda couldn't guarantee power or reliability under such tight requirements. When STR became Honda's power rather than demanding from Honda to be X and Y, STR simply asked them ''what do you need'' and designed the car around that.

    McLaren made unreasonable demands to Honda.

    I think VCARB never had the same resources and technical team Red Bull has.

    IF Ricciardo doesn't improve in the next 2 races, he's going to get replaced by Liam Lawson.
