Race Against The Machine

RB ≠ RBR
As in: Red Bull Racing (RBR) is the team Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are driving for, and then there is their sister-team RB* (RB) with Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo as drivers.
It's a bit confusing of course, but I'd like to see more people using the abbreviations correctly here on Lemmy.
But renaming Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri into RB was not a clever move by the team.

*edit for more accuracy: RB's full team name is VISA Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB), so it's not surprising people are calling them RB. But that does cause more confusion.

That's actually a better idea!

Ah thank you, that explains it.

This feels like the most likely explanation to me, it looked like SAI got almost sucked into the inside of PER's car...

I guess they don't mind losing their fans...

As if Lando's task wasn't big enough already...

Novel scenario looking like a fun possibility: PER running in a position to take points off of VER! Forcing RBR into issuing team orders! :D

I think another factor was both their on-track behaviour, bordering childishly stubborn anger, being overly aggressive. The 'red mist' I call it.
That was what turned me off them.

In my opinion, McLaren should have "let them race" up until the summer break. After that, support the driver closest to Verstappen. If something unforeseen happens and the "second" driver gets ahead, then full support to him. Simple and clear. Maximize points for the best positioned driver in the WDC and for the team in the WCC.
I still have hopes for Norris taking the WDC, but it will be a tall order. It might come down to fastest lap points even! But he will have to have full support from the team and Piastri.

Zooicidal?

Shaking my head my head?
