About that second Alpine seat…

Alonso looked pretty rough getting out of the car in Brazil, and requested a check by the medical team. 

The bouncing he talked about was nuts  ....

Thats like driving on a washboard with added fun of being in the rain.

Max isn't paid enough and RBR isn't focusing enough on a quality second driver

It is crazy how the second driver has fared for that team. A ton of circumstances but, you’d have to figure that they’d get it right, eventually.

Teams get to start using wind tunnel time on 2026 regs in 2025. RB doesn’t want a second driver that moves them up in the WCC standings this year or next.

Fuck that shit. 

Monetize, monetize, monetize ...

If the rumors of Checo coming back next year are true, I don't think they are even trying to get it right.  They're just prioritizing sponsor dollars above all else.

[deft 6,797]

That’s all they’ve been doing. That’s the only possible answer. That or they just really like the taste of Carlos slims dick.

[wood 11,121]

I'm guessing they like the smell of Slim's money. It would actually make sense, at least for next year, if Slim is paying them the same or more than the amount they're losing by not winning the WCC.

Does he pay them more than ~$20 million per year that they couldn't replace with a different driver?  Because that's the difference between first and third in WCC.

No idea what he pays, but he certainly could pay that and not sweat it at all.

What’s the value of downgrade in their image right now? Sticking with checo for sooooo long after you’ve killed off so many other #2’s for much less. Jeez.

[Mac8111 2,103]

Slick

[Mittens 8,150]

Yay, more black.

If you removed 90% of the sponsor logos off any of these cars, they'd probably look pretty slick too.
