I'm not too sad about that. I didn't wanna have to cheer for RedBull (the team) not a fan of Dr Marko or Horner, what they did to Webber, Gasly, Bourdais (@ toro rosso), etc . Also Porsche belongs in endurance (not rebadging an existing honda/Redbull engine) and with an F1 budget they'd have to charge even more for their overpriced and too-long-geared modern cars.. Factoring today's ridiculous dealer fees, buying a new 911 is like buying a Ferrari - you can't get allocations of the nice ones - and nowhere near MSRP - unless you bought several others or a $$$$ 918 or whatever..
Ok so back to F1, the season is basically over, Max won, good for him that is his first Real WC with absolutely no asterisk attached. He thoroughly deserved it and there is not denying that this year, even the british press will have to accept it.
Also I wish Binotto would spend less time trimming his hair like a mushroom cloud and instead get the team in fighting shape. Pathetic.
Driver of the year for me? Albon ! (another Marko casualty)
Quote of the year? Fred Vasseur from Alfa : “There’s no such thing as luck or bad luck with DNFs. Sometimes it was technical, sometimes the engine, sometimes Latifi,” he said during the team principals’ press conference at the Dutch Grand Prix.
