Did Mercedes really offer to triple Verstappen’s salary to come across?

Or was that BS reporting. Saw some articles but not sure how valid

Lando on for a Miam GP win in 10 laps... fingers

[bgh]

Well done to Norris.

That will not be a smart move so long as they continue to have car issues.

Or maybe, given how the F1 cartel operates, we are watching a carefully calculated plan unfold, without understanding what we are seeing. Maybe.

Congrats to Lando.

Well done Lando!!!

Bess race of the year so far ... Verstappen simply couldn't keep up with Norris ...

[antlind]

Must be frustrating for Toto and team knowing that the McLaren carries the same Merc engine.

[fokhan_96]

So with redbull continuing to struggle, this race looks like it would be interesting.

[david12]

Looks good for Leclerc at the moment. He opened up the gap but it's still anyone's race in the top 4. Let's see how long those hards will take them.

Most of the Monaco GP is decided on Saturday. Sunday is usually a glorified procession... Which was cemented after that first lap

If it rains things can change

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Qualifying was interesting!
The Mercs have found some new performance in this setup

The rest of the season should be interesting. Redbull not as dominant, and the gap between Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes is getting closer. Max has a lot of work to do now and it has now become clear that the only purpose of Perez being at redbull is for testing and data gathering.

Verstappen gonna pass Russel as soon as wet conditions cease and DRS is turned on but rain expected again in 18mins
The Mclarens are fast!

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Interesting Qualis

[wagonrunner]

will look out for this events version

[fokhan_96]

Interesting Qualis

This season shaping up to be interesting. Every weekend a different pole sitter.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

It was a good race - lots of passing and some good battles.
Crazy pass on the race start from Russell
Lando is doing well it points

[antlind]

What’s up with Perez though? He couldn’t even make the top 5.

Perez is 5th overall in points for the 2024 championship.

A series of unfortunate events this GP tho

I mean it must also be psychologically tough to be teammates with Verstappen

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Congrats to Russell, Piastri and Sainz.
Norris really was more aggressive than usual and Max was back to old Max from years ago. They handed it to Russell.

The return of Crashstappen

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Well this is interesting

[fokhan_96]

With the possibility of rain and this grid line up, this race shaping up to be one of the best for a while.

[david12]

Silverstone always delivers

What a nail biting finish! The gap just kept closing but not quickly enough.

[bluefete]

I am shocked!

Shocked, I tell you.

[fokhan_96]

Verstappen needed 3 more laps... glad for lewis though.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Yup he would have caught him.
Tough luck for Russell.
Lando had it and screwed it up

[kamakazi]

McLaren pit strategy let them down at Silverstone.

Congrats to Hamilton but I'm wondering if he is starting to regret signing for Ferrari... Honestly didn't expect this performance from Mercedes after the car challenges they had.

Merc has gotten considerably better since Imola
revised floor and brake ducts, plus a new rear and beam wing

[fokhan_96]

Perez qualified 16th... even non-redbull fans getting annoyed by Perez.
