Sprint race wasnt bad.

Lewis a rocket off the line and forced Lando wide.
He led the race until the half way point and then Max found his speed and just vanished off into the lead. Won by over 13 seconds.

Alonso in 3rd was holding off the Ferrari's and Perez for an age and certainly helped Lewis out.
Defending from Sainz though he picked up a puncture with 3 laps to go and ruined his race and that allowed Perez through.

Adrian Newey has told Red Bull he wants to leave because Horner is a twat (essentially the reason)

Finally Horner does something good!

Stepping back from F1 now will allow him to move to another team next year and work on their 2026 car. If he fancies it

He is going to get some obscene amounts of money thrown at him by Aston Martin and Ferrari


Also seems Max and his team will be meeting with Mercedes shortly to talk about him moving there to replace Lewis

Reported already that he has no interest in Aston Martin. If he goes to Ferrari either Lewis knew all along or he’s just hit the jackpot again.

Max leaving would make the biggest impact in dethroning Red Bull from the ridiculous dominance they have - if he’s at Merc next season it’ll be super interesting as the Red Bull will still be mega but not have the best driver anymore

Also add to this - Shitty timing of the official announcement. Yes we knew it was happening but everything today in the F1 world is around the 30th anniversary of the death of Senna and Ratzenberger. Does come across as a bit of look at us moment, when they could have announced this tomorrow
