Hahahahaha, that was a lot of fuss about a different color on the front-wing!

And what is even more interesting: Insiders have revealed that this addendum to the original contract was brought in unilaterally by the Verstappens and Marko, without the Red Bull Formula 1 team or Horner knowing anything about it at the time.

Marko was able to do this because he is one of two directors at Red Bull Racing and can therefore act on behalf of the team.

Yeah, I'm not buying this (red) bullshit. These contracts are the result of legal teams and lawyers. These are not the type of contracts that you scribble an addendum on with 2 or 3 people behind closed doors. Not even if you are Marko.

There is just zero chance they give the last penalty point.

Not really though. She was his PA, and that just doesn't work anymore after these kinds of allegations (and for this it doesn't matter if they are true or not)

Man, that really is a tiny opening...

Sorry, had to do it...

Ford and RBPT together are one supplier, but you forgot Renault and Honda (who are moving to Aston).

Obviously, but I imagine she is now rather limited in travelling abroad...

Except the small thing that this is actual foul play by a team that was kept secret by the FIA.

2021 was an a strange call by the FIA. But there was no coverup, and it was already protested by Merc and ruled as being correct.

There is just no comparison between the two, whatever you may think of 2021.

I also love the quote "you are unique, just like everybody else"

Imagine 2 Verstappens in the RBR...

First Hamilton who is discrediting Max by saying he never had a decent teammate, and now this from Toto.

They aren't handling the losing-part of the sport very well over at Merc...

In 2002 Michael Schumacher won the WDC with 6 races remaining.

Mind you that there were were only 17 races in total that season, so he took it just before two thirds of the season was done.

This season will have 22 races (excluding the cancelled ones), and two thirds of that is 14.7 races. Since the next race will be number 15, he will not be able to break that in terms of relative progress in the season. He also cannot beat the 6 races, because to do it with 7 races left he would have to become WDC in Singapore, which is mathematically not possible. He can (theoretically) do it in Japan, so he can still equal that record, albeit with more races in a season...
