  1. Ricciardo’s (Alonso’s as well) luck, though.

    1. Perez too :(

  2. Why is Red Bull bringing Kvyat back? Clearly they don’t need him anymore!

    1. Who else do they have though @johnmilk. They might convince Albon to get back in bed with them. And they could probably have had Wehrlein. Well, and they could have stuck with Hartley. But really, I agree with Dr. Marko that Kvyat, if he managed to find his confidence back, would probably be a better prospect than that, however likeable Hartley can be.

      1. Aahhh @bascb not that my friend. They don’t need to fire him in order to Max win races, he figured a way to do without on his own.

    2. @johnmilk – I hear that Red Bull strategists are hard at work trying to uncover the pattern behind Max’s victories.

      Is it Alonso moaning about something? (Unlikely, Max would have been champion some races ago if that were the case)
      Is it Ricciardo doing a “Daniel Not Finished”© @jimmi-cynic (Unlikely, see above)
      Maybe Sirotkin has to finish in an unlucky number, and Leclerc in the points? (Possible, now the strategists are wondering how to make that Williams finish 13th in the next two races to confirm their hypothesis)
