Yep, he definitely did for the 1st bit. Bryan then told him to pick up rubber & he replied to himself out loud without realising the radio was on & quickly apologised. Just unusual for him, clearly he’s not happy that he seems to be the only ‘team player’ at the mo, but CS has no reason to anymore

I know the reasoning was the pit exit ‘incident’ where Sainz went through anyway, but it’s unusual to see Charles that angry, he usually is silent when he’s mad, today he’s just let go.

Fair enough. Ferrari are usually better on a race day this year, and Leclerc has had a great start. Be interesting to see how Russell manages this!

To replace who? It’s Stroll’s seat as long as he wants it and Alonso has a contract for that year. It does make sense with Honda’s involvement, but I can’t see it unless Alonso gets bored, but with Newey on board he’ll want to stick it out for ‘26.

He’ll be lucky to make the start of the ‘25 season at this rate

Zandvoort, Imola and Austria can be rotational IMO. I like Austria but not at the expense of classics! I went to Barcelona this year, great weekend so would like that on rotation. Would love Hockenheim to return even if only on rotation. You?

Spa rotation would be a disaster, I was there for the farcical mess in 2021 and I still love the place! You can’t lose that ever imo. Spa, Monza, Silverstone and Interlagos should always be protected.
