Any word of n Piastri blocking Magnesson? He should get a three spot penalty although it’s kind of funny that Kevin got blocked finally

Red Bulls in trouble
Red Bull don’t have the speed
Oh wait nevermind
Max takes pole
I'm half convinced Red Bull and Max are just playing with crazy car setups during most of practice. Consulting a Magic 8 Ball, and Ouijia board, and maybe rolling dice to get setups, then actually trying during qualifying.
Or maybe they are just changing random things on Max's car to see if he notices.
If that race was 5 laps longer I think Lando would have had a shot at taking the win from Max. It's about damn time somebody is starting to make the front interesting 2 races in a row. I'm sure Monaco will be a typical high speed parade but after that I'm hoping we see Lando taking the fight to Max consistently. It's bee a while since we had a fight at the front between two different teams.Mclaren looks like they're for real, Red Bull finally has someone that can give them a real fight.

I saw the drivers talking about Max getting a big tow from Hulk in Q3, so they all thought their qualifying pace was pretty close to RB. If that's the case we should get a pretty good show on Saturday.

I think this is possible. The announcers certainly don't halp the situation in practice either. This is what drove me nuts when Mercedes was running away with everything. They'd come out the first two practices and be way off, pull it together somewhat in P3. The whole time the announcers would tell us how Mercedes is just off and how they were going to struggle in qualifying and the race. Then Hamilton would go P1, Botas P2 and run away with the race. Although, in this case, I think Red Bull is doing it because they know there are teams that are putting a crack in their dominance and they might not be able to just skate through the rest of the season.I'm half convinced Red Bull and Max are just playing with crazy car setups during most of practice.

I really hope that McLaren and other teams can really keep up the pressure. That race was great watching Lando creeping up on Max those last 10 laps or so. It wouldn't surprise me if McLaren is at least on par with Red Bull right now, I just think Max is one of those generational talents that is one of those drivers who just gets it right when he has to.
The only surprising thing about that is waiting until next season to dump Sargent.Logan Sargeant out, Valtteri Bottas in at Williams, no place for Kimi Antonelli - report
Valtteri Bottas appears set to re-join Williams for the F1 2025 season, replacing Logan Sargeant, according to well-placed sources.www.planetf1.com
Agree but if you think about it. They are already gonna pay Sgt. They are not going to get point with anyone else. Might as well just let him serve the contract out instead of paying someone else to come in and drive and having to pay Logan also.The only surprising thing about that is waiting until next season to dump Sargent.
I'm pretty sure Sargent is a pay driver though so it's more of a case of how much sponsorship money would they lose out to with him out of that seat. He's in that seat because his uncle is financing it.Agree but if you think about it. They are already gonna pay Sgt. They are not going to get point with anyone else.
