I didn't care much for Vettel once upon a time, but when he was awarded a controversial time penalty a while back, which cost him the win in favour of Hamilton. He swapped the numbered boards round, putting the first place board in front of his car, which I thought demonstrated his sense of humour and something that I admired in him.
What about the ozzie Daniel Ricciardo OGF, when he took off his
driving boot and offered the princess of monarco a boot full of
champagne on the podium in monarco??
Wow, l laughed for days after that !!

Unfortunately for Red Bull they are reliant for engines on other

the engines for Red Bull ! BUT when Red Bull became a threat to
mercedes on the track, they stopped supplying the mercedes
engines to them! Leaving Red Bull without an engine??
Very sporting eh!!
Red Bull now run a honda engine, which is not fully developed yet
but Red Bull is getting this engine up to scratch slowly as can be
seen from race results recently??
BUT,now Honda may be pulling out of F1 due to the immense
expense of making & developing F1 engines nowdays? This, if it
happens will leave several teams without engines and so unable
to race??
Soon mercedes will be racing themselves around all the new
circuits whilst the rest start a completely series using the older
race tracks??
All due to excessive costs!
Its cheaper to fly to the moon !!

Donkeyman! 👍😇😇👍
Mercedes never supplied engines to red bull, it was Renault who was the engine supplier and they had a messy divorce a couple of years ago and switched to Honda, who are leaving now, but RB want to take over the development of the Honda engine as they have made it work in their car, unlike mclaren, but they didn’t have the aerodynamic genius that is Adrian newey...

Agree Primus1. So you think Renault is not an option?Do you think RB will actually take over the engine from Honda? Would Honda allow it? It’s exciting times hey!

I like the Aussie, I agree he’s really funny but I feel he’s not consistent.

Renault may be an option but RB will have to eat a lot of humble pie, if Honda will agree to the technical specs of the engine, then yes they will do it, it only leaves merc or Ferrari and they WONT supply RB, I can see them quitting the sport altogether

Thanks for your thoughts, nice input but I can’t see RB exiting altogether. Mercedes winning is becoming predictable, they need some real competition!

Helmet Marco has hinted at pulling the plug on red bull and alpha tori , it is possible but I hope they won’t, as for Mercedes dominance, well we’ve been here before , red bull, Ferrari, mclaren, Williams, they’ve all had their turn at dominating the sport,
