Suarez says ‘everything is an option’ about his future | RACER Suarez is my favorite driver so I really hope he can find a home next year, either with Trackhouse or another team. Odds aren't looking good though since Trackhouse will probably move Zilisch into the 99 full time up from Xfinity. Best case scenario for Suarez is Trackhouse / JRM keeps Zilisch in Xfinity for one more year, Kyle Busch (or maybe Keselowski) retires opening up that seat, and/or someone like Cole Custer, Tyler Dillon, or Noah Gragson get let go from their teams. We'll see!
Excited to see what he can do at Sonoma this weekend, though I'm sure Zilisch is annoyed he's also running in Xfinity again this week haha
Over 50% cheaper - crazy “Momentum Growing for Cheaper V8 Engines” https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/...tum-growing-for-cheaper-v8-engines-/10740489/
That feels like some more Ben Sulayem nonsense. Going to larger V8s from V6s makes absolutely no sense for the car manufacturers involved. The only way having V8s back in the car would make any sense is if there's a massive switch towards synthetic fuels in the next couple of years, which doesn't seem to be on the cards for now. I could see the hybrid system being changed to be more inline with road car technology, but I can't see why a V8 is more sensible than a turbo V6 at this point. Certainly for Europe at least, V8s just aren't that common.
This just makes it seem like its due to overall performance and they wanted a change Christian Horner: Red Bull sack Formula 1 team principal
Yeah, I think if it’s linked to anything, it’s linked to Max being rumored to leave for Mercedes. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is a last ditch effort to keep him.
The total failure to create a car which both drivers can drive probably doesn't help. Who knows what's going on in the background with the engine development too. The rumours swirling that Max might be looking at Merc suggests he isn't very confident with whatever direction things are going. I'm a bit surprised they'd go mid season with this though.
Yeah I wonder how their engine development is going, especially with Ford helping them out. Surely they have enough money to develop it; just depends on whether they have the right people doing the development. If I was Max I'd probably want a new challenge in my career at this point, and Mercedes would be a great place to land.
Brundle has been on Sky claiming Horner doesn't even know why he was sacked. Take that with a grain of salt, but if that's true, what on earth is the dynamic in there right now...
