George Russell is also reportedly in Sardinia as well….

I never thought Toto would be insane to do it, but he’s going try to pair Russell with Verstappen for next year. :shock:

Dropping George who has a proven track record is one thing but dropping Kimi after just one season might shatter the kid's confidence.

I assume they'd try and place him in another team and keep him under contract. I agree though, not exactly the best way to build him confidence.

I'm still convinced any change will be for 2027 though, so who knows.

Where would they place Kimi, though? Williams is filled up. Maybe new customer Alpine?

This whole saga with jets, yachts, and tracking people is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen. Honestly, the idiots on twitter are something else.

Sardinia is where most of the F1 crowd takes their vacations, so why is it such a big deal that Toto and Max are there with their families? Tracking private jets, yachts, and obsessing over people’s every move—like, get a life. If there’s something to be shared, it will be communicated when it’s time. The recent surge in F1 popularity has attracted a bunch of trash. Ridiculous.

It’s mostly harmless fun. Although there is also a bit of “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

That does make it sound like it would be Max and George if Max signs then....

Plane drops off Max, Max goes to his yacht. Plane leaves after being given green light that Max doesn't need to leave. Max travels on his yacht and remains on said vacation.

Come on now… Max probably wasn’t even on the plane going back. This is how private jets work. The crew will take them to park at the home base, or maybe it dropped someone off in Cannes and stayed there. There could be a hundred different reasons, and likely is something else going on. This means zero when it comes to a potential meeting. Max’s partner posted on Instagram yesterday saying she was vacationing on a yacht, so it’s safe to assume Max is there with her and their child. There’s absolutely no proof Toto was or is anywhere near Max. Sardinia is where he and his family always vacation. Like I said, this whole saga is just stupid and embarrassing.

I can't believe f1technical is having a detailed discussion about people's private life, tracking their pvt planes, etc.
What have we become ? paparazzi ?
How desperate are we for 'clues' so that we are the ones 'breaking the news first' ? Is this a technical forum or an evening tabloid ?
