An interesting stat that essentially means nothing (baseball type analytics comes to F1)
FI leading the pack for the year. Really will be sad to see the name change for that team. I like a nationalistic spin on an F1 team for some reason.
Odd that Deadbull are the poorer of all the Renault users on this one. Even Toro Rosso outpacing them by a large margin. Max the new Kimi luckwise must be scratching his head, but truth be told I suspect only half seriously. If his people have not been talking to the SCUD they must be asleep. Horner may insist they are both on "junior" contracts and do not have a Vettel, performance escape clause but I would be shocked if there was not an exit ability in either Ric or Max's paperwork. Max taking Kimi's seat would somehow make sense to me as they share a lot of similarities all be it 10 years apart in their carreers The better fit though would be the Merc, but I suspect Bottas will be extended after this year.
Teflonso's comment that the seats are in a lot more of a fluid status than anyone may think might have some truth to it.
That in itself will bring more fun and games to this year. A season long silly season coupled with a knuckle busting fight for the title. Carey could not have asked for better PR even if I suspect he has engineered a fair share of it,
And yet more interesting. https://www.motorsportweek.com/news/id/15111
I think it would be more than appropriate to apply a Schumi style relieved of points penalty for that one.
