    I really hope this rumour isn’t true:

    Culturally it would be an absolutely disastrous move. I can't see how Ferrari senior management like to work being in any way compatible with Horner. 

    The only way I see Horner back in the sport is a 12th team

    Maybe he'll try to get the Arden name going again and get into F1 with it, I have no doubt he'd be able to find enough backers for it

    Fully agree with all the sentiment above.

    As a standalone though….. who do we think would get Ferrari winning again (park aside character or being a bit of a twat).

    Horner knows how to build a winning team that’s operationally sound. Everything Ferrari aren’t. I think there may be some legs to this.

    I wonder if, by using a VPN, you could watch it here!

    Can't see Sky ever letting go of the UK rights but an interesting step to go to Apple. 
  • That'll upset a few American fans, who seem quite happy with the F1TV package that they're currently able to subscribe to.

    I imagine AppleTV coming on to the scene will be similar to the UK, where we're not eligible for live races via F1TV because of the conflict with Sky's coverage

    Unless Apple just buy the F1 TV coverage, no reason why they couldn’t

    All depends if it is an exclusivity license, time will tell.

    What? You mean winning?

    Much as I hate Horner, he has a track record of success as a team principle (obviously along with various very talented people at Red Bull). The idea that he would come in and shake things up could actually be exactly what might make him a good option for Ferrari.

    I really hope he doesn't return though, just because I find him so loathsome, and not in a pantomime villain kind of way.

    Verstappen can conceivably win every remaining race. McLaren’s steal points off each other.

    Hes gonna bloody win it again isn’t he 
  • Jesus... What just happened between the McLaren's?

    Little bonus for him this evening with both the McLarens scoring 0 in the sprint.

    As much as I don’t like him, if he wins the title this year with what has been, for half the season, an inferior car, then hats off to him.
    Regardless of his personality, he’s got to be up there in the conversation of best drivers of all time, and he’s still got years left.

    I thought Piastri got it horribly wrong...

    Hulk got squeezed, avoided Alonso, and Piastri could have done the same, but turned in like Hulk wasnt there

    Need Russell to save this. Can't have Max in any kind of title contention. 
  • Be surprised if Russell can keep up here, given how bad the Mercedes has been this weekend

    What the hell is that from Stroll. Absolutely ridiculous move that was never on.

  • Hmm... Could Bearman get his last two penalty points for that 10-second penalty?

    I hadn't considered this! Will have to wait for the stewards docs to drop

    Wonder if they'll give him a penalty point to avoid it

    As he's only got to survive Mexico to lose some points for what he earned in Brazil.

    10-seconds is f**king ridiculous for that though

    I can't see it being 2 penalty points for that , there's been way more egregious track limits incidents at Austin over the years with less penalties than that. 

    Although I do ponder who Haas would use as a reserve? I believe it's Ryo Hirakawa officially.

    I'd be surprised if they didnt get KMag back for the weekend

    Agree about Piastri. 
    No way was he going to take the corner like that without getting hit.
  • No penalty points for Bearman thankfully.

    Honestly wonder what the long term play actually is at Aston? Alonso probably has a season left just so he can say he drove a Newey car , Stroll is a complete non entity for 90% of the season but has the safest seat on the grid. 

    Their academy has no one special , Crawford is an meh F2 driver that can win a few races and Mari Boya doesn't strike me as especially stand out. 

    I can't see them attracting another ' name' driver even if they tried to blank cheque any of the frontrunners, their best shot was probably hoping the Russell saga didn't work itself out. Honda will probably push for Yuki but he's probably going to hang on at Racing Bulls over Lawson.

    Is the play that Lawrence sells out to Aramco/PIF for billions? Because nothing else really adds up

    One thing's for sure, Lance Stroll is not a good F1 driver and will never be one
