Not another street circuit

Wouldn’t it be ironic if this is the first in a string of such incidents and they have to cancel the GP due to track issues?

Too bad, he made it an interesting race. But rules are rules, and harsh penalties are there to discourage intentional lowering the ride height.

Maybe also don’t do sprint races on bumpy tracks, or even better not at all.

Good for him, hope he gets a solid race

Let’s hope McLaren can built on this year and not have a start like this year.

So, no replacement?

Not anymore: https://lemm.ee/post/8250716

They issued a statement that he will not race, no mention of a replacement.

Not to mention Horner boasting in drive to survive that “it’s only fun if Toto gets riled up”

Honestly to me it’s a bunch of millionaires and billionaires taking stabs at each other. I don’t care and I don’t understand why people like to play offended in their stead.

Someone has learned the art of shit stirring from Horner

Can’t blame him really, hope they can build on their current form. But from what I’ve been reading here McLaren got a bit lucky with their upgrade, fingers crossed.

22 seconds on his teammate while starting 4 places behind him…

I’m afraid that’s not going to change anything. The downside of the budget cap is that other teams can’t spend enough to catch up to the team that got it right. Red Bull being able to shift their focus to next year this early on just means that the budget penalty for winning doesn’t effect them. Where others have to spend on upgrades to stay competitive in this year, they just get a chunk of money to spend outside of the 2024 budget.

By the time the other teams have caught up, FIA will have changed the rules again and the cycle starts over.
