Lewis has limited talent / interest in street production based cars. Prefers being chauffeured around the mean streets.
Not even attempting to hide the piss taking, wind ups & trolling now, a sad stain on the PH forums

Max is in Brazil for vacations with his in-laws. He arrived at a rental kart track in a tuned VW Kombi from Piquet Senior: it has an Audi 1.8T 5V engine with 470 hp and a five-speed ZF transmission:

Hard to defend that Toto has done a good job of late tho. Three away the title in 2021 with a bad strategy call and produced two bad cars since, plus lost a bit sponsor and a major outflow of talent. I

Rumours from Brackley are it’s not a happy camp at present

Hilarious though. Can you imagine a grid of Georgie dullards. If I ever feel down I like to recall the time George dressed in a suit and did some kingsman marketing. I recall the commentator being very excited.

Alex Albon on the whether the car is built around Max, what it's like being Max's team mate and toxic fan base / media.

Verstappen is working towards entering his own GT3 endurance racing team in 2025. Probably running two Ferrari 296 GT3 cars. He's been out testing one https://en.endurance-info.com/auto/article/109889-...



He's not interested in a single seat racing setup through karting, F3, F2. He's more interested in a path from sim racing to endurance racing.
He's been quite vocal about his interest in Endurance and SIM racing, so makes sense i guess. Be interesting to see what his times were compred to current drivers of that car at the same circuit.

most ex F1 drivers absolutely nail GT3 or Hypercars , look at the results of Kobayashi or Buemi who were mediocre F1 drivers , when you have a really talented F1 driver in GT3/ Hypercars like Alonso , the results are spectacular , I reckon Max would obliterate the opposition ..........or crash
