Max Verstappen will replace Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull with immediate effect :d

 

Obviously huge news here in the Netherlands, but personally I'm not just happy with it. The time of being incredibly excited with a 4th or 5th place is already over now...every time he doesn't finish on the podium, it's like "well it could have been better...".

For Italian television Kvyat was resend to Toro Rosso for the Vettel's accident and they must send to Red Bull Verstappen (If I understand correctly)

Yea yesterday was the most rain I'd seen in a while. Presumably racing could still happen.   And for those wondering I am fine.

I don't think it's just the thing with Vettel, because it would be too much to replace a rider for one mistake. It's probably more because of Kvyat being pretty "up and down" ever since he came in F1 --> Good races, but also (too) many bad races and mistakes.

 

Now we know Ricciardo is better than Kvyat and Verstappen is slightly better than Sainz. The next thing is Ricciardo vs Verstappen (next year, because of course Verstappen first has to get used to a new car) and Kvyat vs Sainz. If Sainz loses, his F1-career is probably not going well because then he lost against someone who was rejected by RBR. If Kvyat loses, his career is probably over, because then he lost against an "inexperienced" driver. 

 

The only one who is comfortable now is Verstappen, because if he loses against Ricciardo this season it's normal, but if Ricciardo loses against Verstappen, Ricciardo has a problem :p

Epic qualifying for Verstappen yesterday :bowdown:

 

It's so awesome to have a driver who is 1. seriously talented and 2. in a seriously competitive car for the first time in history! And it's really awesome to "feel" the vibe here of everyone really looking forward for today's race, I've never ever felt that before. Normally he should finish 4th if there are no weird things happening, but who knows...a historic podium might be possible..(the only Dutch driver who ever got on the podium was his father Jos, twice...well, once he got on the podium and another time he got 3rd because someone was DQ'ed afterwards, although J Verstappen didn't physically get on the podium there).

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.

      Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.

      Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig

      2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.

      Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.

      Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
