At some point RB is going to have to answer the basics question. Is it Max or Horner winning the races...
- But Max will also have to answer the question: Will he seriously leave for a team with a worse car?
  
  It seems to be going 2 possible ways in my opinion:
  
  1: Verstappen goes to Merc with Marko & Newey.
  
  2: Verstappen quits and goes on with sim racing.
  
  Honestly it is a valid question. With his time splits it seems likely he could win with Mercedes or Ferrari, but that is just a guess.
  
  I bet though if it truly gets down to a choice between the two, the powers that be will Choose Max.
- Question is: where do neweys loyalties lie?
- The answer is it's Horner. He's the man at the top enabling the entire organization build that rocket ship race car. There's half a dozen other drivers, at least, out there who could beat Perez and bring the championships home with that car.
- Yes, that is the question for RB Racing. The basic question for RedBull is: do they want their brand linked to this racing team, or these team members?
Will this be the silliest of seasons?
- And so unnecessary above all, at least to me... So much filler content
- Lewis was confirmed to go to Ferrari before the season even began, so I would say it already is.
I haven't seen this much drama since I watched a season of the Bold and the Beautiful when I was 8, many years ago.
- Netflix just died of dehydration due to excessive salivation.
  
  Nah, Netflix prefers to create their own stories over displaying the actual stories.
- It's a shame the real excitement in F1 these days happens off the track.
I may be wrong but I’m getting Emperor, Anakin Skywalker vibes.

Helmut will get Max to kill the young Red Bull academy drivers next.
At least there's some drama this season since the championship already seems like a foregone conclusion
And all of it, at least to me, seems so unnecessary and filler type of content
Is that an indication that yes he leaked it, but there is no one senior enough to actually suspend him unless the Thais do?

  He's just an employee of Red Bull GmbH. He can be fired like any other employee and if he's causing harm to the image of the Red Bull brand (racist comments apparently weren't enough), I don't think even the Austrians would want to support him.
  
  Meh, money rules all. If he can make someone money he'll get supported.
  
  Look at that shitbox from the top gear TV series. He beat up his producer. Got fired and within a year was doing better than ever.
