Very little. Aston and Red Bull Technology will continue their partnership on the Valkyrie, but Red Bull Racing will look for a new title sponsor for their main team. If they can’t find one, the company is more than able to close any gap in their budget it creates. Remember that Red Bull has the financial ability to op…

He’s the anti-Trulli.

Aston Martin isn’t taking over anything. They’re selling shares to the Stroll consortium and Racing Point is being re-branded as Aston. Turned out it wasn’t Stroll and Geely teaming up, in fact it was Stroll vs Geely.

They don’t, even under the new ownership. Just announced that it’s actually Racing Point, not Mercedes, that will be re-branded as Aston Martin.

Perez is known as someone who’s much, much better in races than qualifying. He was pummeled by Ocon in 2018.

You should try it. It’s fun.

Half the grid is there because of the sponsors they bring

Your view of relevance is fairly narrow, though. Mercedes, like several others, is not in F1 because of road car development, it’s a marketing tool for them. It’s always quite difficult to gauge the effectiveness of that.

Are you willing to put money on that prediction, Mr. Camping?

No, because with Red Bull’s main strength becoming less of a factor under the new regulations, this could mean we truly end up with one team that can outspend everyone. I’d much prefer Merc v Ferrari than Ferrari v Ferrari.

Ferrari hasn’t been in Williams’ position. Williams is really the last ‘true’ independent, and their insistence to remain so is costing them dearly. They keep refusing to use other manufacturers parts in order to use their own, by F1 standards, ancient technology. These failings have been going on for more than a…

Honest question, do you think there is an argument at all about Lewis vs Seb? I think that’s been settled for a while now.

To be fair, it’s a bit easier to gain places starting from the back row.

Indeed. If he was a talented rapist, he wouldn’t have had pay millions in a settlement now would he?

Thanks for taking the time and effort to tell us how this woman you’ve never met is feeling.

You mean Jordan or Lebron? OK, I’ll stop it for now.

It’s perfectly fine to not care about/mourn someone’s death.

other way around, mate.

And Red Bull/Alpha Tauri, and Racing Point through their relationship with Mercedes of course.
