@MercedesAMGF1 Road Trip with @JoshuaDuerksen1 in Greece

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@NAKANOnoHEI Oh yes. It’s a global phenomenon

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@NAKANOnoHEI I have the Hot Wheels of the Gen3 car. I tried to get one of the Gen2, but couldn’t find one at the right price. Every seller I approached is asking an unreasonable amount of money

@Marvel_India someone please make a 4k wallpaper version of this image

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop Exactly. We should get an update by September

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop The thing about Hadjar is that, I think Red Bull is so invested in this Max Verstappen situation that they’re not focusing much on Hadjar and Laurent Mekies is the only one keeping a close eye on Isack

I think that gives him a space to feel good and perform

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop I believe the toxicity is still there, it’s just that it’s not that visible anymore.

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop Fingers crossed bro. Let’s see what happens.

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop I mean, I would love to see Ollie in a team with a healthier environment. It’s not just pressure, Red Bull is now a toxic space and just absolute chaos

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop Yes, but not many drivers can do that. Pressure is a beautiful thing, you can’t measure it until it tests you

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@MadridPreeti He already had a yellow from an earlier tackle. The simulation handed him a second yellow and sent him out.

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@HaasEnjoyer @SkySportsF1 You would have to go to WAR with Ferrari to get Leclerc.

This is not happening even in dreams

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop It's RED BULL. Pressure is part of a driver's job from day one

Also, RB are just in the hunt for a driver to stabilise the ship for a few years, before their "Next Verstappen" is ready. Lindblad is touted to be RB's next big thing, so naturally they won't tolerate Ollie for long

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop Correct, but if the pressure to perform and being a Red Bull driver negatively affects his confidence and brings a drop in his performance, that could break Ferrari's trust in him as a driver

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@MV33Racing Dietrich structured Red Bull in a way that the likes of Marko and Horner had a free hand, but when Mark took over, he overhauled it and made it more like a matrix organisational setup

Naturally, that created tension in the team, and that affected its operational efficiency

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@MV33Racing Red Bull is digging its own grave here, and pretty much everyone who built that team is gone now

In 2022-23, RB was in talks with Porsche for a technical deal, but I remember reading a report that Horner was the one who blocked it

That offended the management and got him sacked

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop Red Bull is a high stakes environment and puts a different level of pressure on a driver.

Also, RB's tolerance level with Ollie will be nowhere near their loyalty to Max. Think about this, Max is their own child and Ollie will be an adopted one. He won't get the same love

[RideBloke @ridebloke]

@scor_pion969 @Scuderiascoop That's unlikely . Ferrari has been backing Bearman since his junior category days, and he's surely in line to succeed Lewis at Ferrari

Red Bull will need to seek Ferrari's approval to get Ollie, like how McLaren were kind enough to release and allow Gabi to sign with Sauber/Audi
