One year contract. Think he's afraid that Russell can bring the fight to him in 2022? Rumor was that he was holding out for veto power for team-mate for a longer contract.
Like Uncle Rico, there was no doubt in my mind that he would be back.
Mercedes FE employing same 'no blame' culture as F1 team I find the way that F1 runs a organization very interesting, I have read in the past that Toto's philosophy is that mistakes are learning opportunities. I feel the same way. It's interesting that teams like Ferrari are the exact opposite lolz.
It's pretty clear that the Mercedes philosophy works. You don't get a sustained run of success otherwise.
Now, how about Red Bull?
In reply to Keith Tanner :
That's a great question. Other then "we let our drivers race" 
What is their actual philosophy?
From the outside, it sure looks like Horner is quick to throw someone under the bus for visible mistakes. Not sure how it works in the case of something less obvious. And they have a very clear #1 driver, always have. It's what drove both Webber and Ricciardo away, then the revolving door for the #2 seat started...
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Maybe everybody is so hyped up on redbull, flat brim hats, parties, and drifting trailers, that it makes up for the tough working conditions.
Merc talks a lot about how they have a "no blame" philosophy. Since I don't work there, I don't know how true that is, but that's the claim.
I highly recommend the BoxinThisLap YouTube page they have a series called Inside Tracks and they show the in-car videos and radio messages that you didn't get during the races, It's very interesting stuff
Never been a fan of the Red Bull system; while I can get past the baptism by fire aspect, it just seems to me that with the parade of number 2s they're not quite reaching they're ultimate potential.
When I say not quite, I'm talking that 1/2% of finesse that separates the exceptional from the dominate.
Fernando fell off his bicycle. Alpine says he is conscious and well in himself. (SIC)
Oopsie.
In reply to Streetwiseguy :
I read it was more got hit by a car while riding a bicycle as opposed to just falling off...
I bet he fell off after the car hit him... Bicycles. A menace to society, I say.
Just boredom, but if anything serious enough to keep him out of winter testing, who fills in? Sirotkin?
There may a shakeup at Renault - may be a broken jaw
They expect him to be good for testing. Someone turned left into a parking lot in front of him.
Redbull takes on the Honda engine (they'll probably start winning championships as soon as the H is off the side of the car).

I turned it on in time to see Ricciardo rapping. He's a better driver. But he's a better rapper than Lando is a drummer.
Maybe a car will show up after lunch :)
Looks like an F1 car so that's promising
Just over a month to go for the test and first race!
Still seems odd to me going into 2021 to start more F1. I finally feel like we will have RedBull and McLaren and Alpine in a decent battle. Not sure if MB will have an easy time of it but they will probably come out the gate fastest.
HAAS is a dark horse of sorts. Being able to absorb excess Ferrari staff will hopefully help. Williams has been quiet and I hope they can get to the points. Few times.
Hamilton for WDC again. NP. Bottas will beat Verstappen finally. But he still won't be enough to challenge Hamilton.
I am kinda of disappointed Red bull isn't going to re-badge the engine to Mugen or something other then Red Bull engine.
There's always next year. They've had a few rebadging of engines over the years.
my guess...
MB 1 and 2. Max and perez battle constantly and take each other out but still finish 2nd in teams. a lot. i hope not, but its possible.
Ferrari, number 3. Yes, that ferrari. mclaren fighting with Alpine for # 4. racing point ends up behind mclaren and Alpine.
Crap show at the back....

The only name that makes any sense to me is AVL, since they are the ones doing the work. Give them credit, and save some money by providing marketing.
Technically this is 2020 news, but the trailer for Drive To Survive season 3 is out. The basic news is: yes, they were shooting last year, and March 19.
I raise my glass in a toast to Tost for his roast of Marzipan
