Personally I think the best thing they could have next year is stability, and bortoleto has shown himself to be a very fast learner

Whatever about redbull and vcarb not making decisions yet but I didn’t realise that bortoleto hadn’t signed a renewal yet? Surely they’d be crazy to not keep him next year

Yeah I think it was a funny way of wording it but I think his point was that it was old news bc it was the following race or something

This was in relation to the whole debacle they went through last year - this was the lead up to George’s ‘whenever anything doesn’t go his way he lashes out with anger and borderline violence’ speech

This is up there with ted kravitz’s greatest contributions to f1

"A minute before his time slot, up strode George.
He called me over to the edge of the pen - 'make sure you ask me a follow-up question!
"'What do you mean?' I asked. [He replied] 'I'm going to give it back to Max. I've had enough of him bad-mouthing me in the press, and I'm going to call him out on his bullying tactics. I know you're only supposed to ask me one question, but never mind that, I'm up for as many questions as you like
"Before checking to see if he was wearing a Drive to Survive microphone, I asked him if he was absolutely sure he wanted to escalate what was effectively last year's story, and start a new fight with Max - never an easy battle to win. He said he was positive, and away he went."

Notable from listening back to the This Week debate that Heather Humphreys no longer seems to be interested in making a positive case for voting for her. It's all just attacks on Connolly.

No amount of friendship posting will get them out of this one I’m afraid

As long as they don’t do something stupid like promote him for 2026 this would be the best thing for him tbh
