W series to lose only semicompetent driver. The money situation alone tells me they're fucked let alone losing their only credible driver.

Max will never have a world title that isn't overshadowed by something else. Sad.

Which is why he needs to further establish that he is The One, the racing driver to end all other racing drivers.
He needs to win Le Mans. Win Indy. Win some touring car and GT series.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the other day. Pretty telling when Indy Lights is a 'step up'.

It's quite amusing that indy lights is her step 1 of her 5 year plan to F1. Like we've all already seen how difficult it is to make that leap using superlicence points. It may be a way into F3, but then why go that way when she could go F3 already if someone stumped up the money. I mean look at Calderón.

Hell she should just go speak to sir lewlew and get him to pay for her seat for a couple of seaons. Either he goes for it and she gets a drive or he doesn't and she can out him as only playing lip service to muh diversity.

Also the scale of RBR's overspend is reported to be only in the $2 million range, not the hundred bazillion that Toto wanted everyone to belive.

RBR say it's news to them and they're looking at options.

I think he would definitely do Le Mans and touring cars, he seems to like doing them on iRacing

He's participated in the 24h Le Mans Virtual before - no reason why he shouldn't do it for real when Red Bull finally drops him after a decade or something.

Sir Lewis Hamilton-Metoober would be the twist this tale truly needs.
 
Halo advocates really are walking soyjaks:

Nothing quite like rattling off every open-wheeled accident of the past 30 years to "prove" your point, regardless if whether or not they were held to FIA regulations or even involved F1 cars at all.
 
I like the Halo, remember Zhou's crash at silverstone?

How exactly has the halo saved Grosjean in Bahrain 2020? If I recall correctly he drove across Kvyat into a barrier and did not flip on his head or anything. The fire-resistant suits, him getting out of the car quick, and the marshals were major factors in what saved him, and the halo was not. Those who think the halo saved Grosjean is high on soy sauce or something.

Way way better examples of the halo working would be Monza 2021 or Silverstone 2022, where the drivers' heads were directly in danger, from Verstappen's rear wheel and the asphalt respectively. In these incidents the drivers would've actually suffered life-threatening injuries if not for the halo.

Grosjeans car went nose first in between the gap between the top and bottom part of the barrier. The Halo did clear a section of the barrier above his head which may not have saved him but definitely meant his head didn't impact the barrier.

Recreation of the wreck
 
Remember,
The halo is actually what separated the two parts of the barrier to allow enough of his car to actually pass completely through it to the other side.
Grosjean was able to climb out of the cockpit on the OTHER side of the barrier.

Fed up of no racing the moment a few drops of water land several miles from the track? Don;t worry, we'll just have another race somewhere it doesn't rain!

Saudi Arabia "would love" to hold two F1 races

I'd rather the Saudi GP get scrapped completely cause yknow muh human rights and explosions, but if F1 really needs that sweet sweet oil money, then they should keep racing at Jeddah instead. It's a difficult track to drive but very satisfying if you chain up all the sectors completely.

If you don't know, this is what the Qiddiyah GP circuit will look like. Exactly 7km long too.
