Lawson to RB and Hadjar to VCARB for the last 3 races as a trial for 2025 would be great.

I think Max can win the sprint.

If it's dry for the main race, it'll be a McLaren 1-2. If it's wet, Max has a chance.

This is what I'm banking on and they may still use the best of the 3 working PU's if it's a dead cert to rain, that is constant rain most if the day.

Franco for VCARB seat if Lawson gets promoted.

I WAS good with Honda. I have one of their mowers

But seriously, it's in the shop for camshaft replacement and oil leak under warranty

It's so bad Honda put a "Stop sell" on ALL of it's new push mowers here in the states and pulled out completely...WTF

PU's should be allowed to be swapped from teammates cars without penalty.

If it's 100% going to rain, I would definitely also take the grid penalty and use a new pu if I was RBR.

We'll see what they finally decide, I would think that would be wise also to swap for a new one seing the 3 other used working PU's that they have are not to full power.

A little off topic...not sure why so many people have issues with Danica.

Pretty girl, into driving fast cars. Win win!

Anyways....Checo needs to go. Not doing Max and RB any favors with his lackluster performances.

Apparently, Max was already running an older, used engine in Mexico which was on its last legs. They really had no choice but to get a new power unit for Brazil so Max will get a 5 place grid penalty for the race. That may not be too bad if the new engine allows him to compete enough to stay within a couple of places of Norris. If it's raining then all bets are off though Max's aggression could cost him dearly if he sees that as an opportunity to storm to the front and win.
