At least he’s half-smiling.

Daniil looks like glass half empty, but don’t worry, he’ll bounce back, anger is a perfect fuel to better yourself as a driver on the track. This demotion is his fuel to light up and prove them for making the wrong decision.
honestly, might be the best thing that happened to him, if he performs even better now and another team wants him at the end of the year, there is his payback.

Having put Sainz, Verstappen and Kvyat there is like a chapter of the hunger games. It is sad that F1 managers have to do this kind of things to get ratings up.

I must say thank you for the effort in taking and bringing us pictures of the motor home. I always find them refreshing and of course interesting. It is also interesting how each building reflects the general perception or outlook of each team.
Redbull motor home which is by far the most elaborate and grand of all the structures reflects the boldness that is portrayed in everything the company does while that of Mercedes is very corporate, efficient and German. Mclaren on the other hand is a reflection of their cooperate nature, style and a little bit of dynamism which one can see on their road cars while that of Ferrari seems to be a case of hit or miss, but more of miss, with red being the company’s primary focus.
Haas on the other hand seems keen on maintaining a small footprint in F1, at least for now, while Sauber shows she still has grand plans as an established F1 team who is keen to be treated as such.

Agreed, love those motor home pics in particular. The RB building is huge because it houses 2 teams… which I find rather surprising. Obviously they have the same owner, but they usually try to appear as separate entities in terms of design/engineering/strategy, even running under different flags, so didn’t expect them to share a building. Seems they’re also the only team to bother with wheelchair access besides Williams.
