Shared drive... is he pulling this out of his ass?we are expecting that they are going to announce that Sergio has joined the team and that Alex is staying on at the team as a test and reserve and they might even share the drive.
Shared drive? That would be insane. Just commit to one bloody driver or the other. Maybe Albon has possession of some incriminating photos....tangodjango wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 20:51Probably means a few FP1 sessions.Snorked wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 18:42Ted Kravitz says Red Bull will announce Perez next week.

Terrific news if they have Perez though provided they actually give equal support to him. Could be very interesting.
I was thinking more there might be some actual intra-team competition first and foremost, if an adequate driver is at last in the other car.tangodjango wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 21:00Assuming Red Bull are closer to Mercedes...El Scorchio wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 20:57Shared drive?

Or they knew they'd be destroyed by Max and wouldn't dare go against him for a prolonged period. Ricciardo especially simply ran away from a fight into objectively worse car just to get away from max. This seems strange since he's probably in the next bunch of drivers right behind max/lewis types, but just goes to show on how high a level those two operate.
I think Riccardo had a legitimate point about how Baku? crash and the Verstappen contract extension went down. That plus I'm sure he spoke a lot to Webber. It was probbably that plus getting beaten, in my opinion.Juzh wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 22:24Or they knew they'd be destroyed by Max and wouldn't dare go against him for a prolonged period.

Come on, Toto, Red Bull aren't falling for that ! You've got to be more subtle than that. Christian ? Christian!? Noooo, sign (*&£-ing Hulk or Perez you idiot !"That's simply a fact. Red Bull won fair and square. You can see that Albon also had a very good race, so they have a very good race car, and shows that when their car is in the right place, both drivers do a really good job.
"Probably Albon's pace was quicker than us by the end. They could have been well ahead, and even worse for us."
Riccardo left for finacial reasons. They had offered him the same money as Max. Renault offered 4 million more for 2019 (17M) and 32M (6 M more than Max) for 2020
They did, but all were related to software issues, Max and Alex had these as well. The fire on Gasly's car was caused by a fuel line leak, the engine was undamaged.
It doesn't matter who you like. Horner needs to decide if Albon can stand the heat. They maybe getting a significant charge from RP next year. Then if he decides that Albon can't. He needs to find someone who he thinks is better than Albon. If hé chooses Perez, it will be because he thinks Perez is significantly better.
