Only 30%? Seems pretty much the majority these days

I’m flying out to Budapest on Thursday, this will be my first race attended in person. I’m very excited!

They played TRNSMT festival in Glasgow the other weekend, and had some shows since. Not sure how long they’re touring now though

Well, unexpected, but not shocked. Some big questions come to mind immediately.

• Do you think Nyck got a fair chance? He’s underperformed, but wasn’t given long
• Will Ricciardo be able to get any results in that car? Has he gotten over the problems that led to his McLaren exit?
• What could this mean for next year’s RB/AT lineups?

This dude supposedly knows the de Vries family. But I’ll believe it only when we get proper motorsport press reporting it.

edit: Telegraaf.nl reporting it. Ricciardo to replace de Vries link

edit2: Chris Medland says multiple sources confirm

I noticed this with Perez, had a good start to the season, then the second people start talking about a title race, his performance fell of a cliff. Hope he can get out of his own head, otherwise I wouldn’t be surprised is Horner and Marko are interviewing replacements.

I’m gutted for Oscar missing out on the podium, just got unlucky with the pitstop/safety car. But that’s Formula 1. Still, getting P4 in your rookie year is a great achievement, I think he’s a real talent. And brilliant for Lando, that was excellent defending to hold off Lewis on much faster tyres.

Red Bull getting 11 in a row is just crazy, I think the count might grow. Uninspiring drive by Perez, did what he had to do and dragged the car up the field, but he should be finishing 2nd every single race in that car. I think he’s badly underperforming.

And Ferrari … lol. 4th and 5th to 9th and 10th. Awful day for them.

Well deserved penalty for that ridiculous move. Poor Gasly, he was pretty quick today.

I really hope Piastri can make it to the podium but I think the Hards just killed that :(

Lando understandably pissed as hell

The article says “leading-edge” but I really wonder what processes will be used here, so far the new fabs being set up in the US aren’t being tooled for the latest EUV 3nm etc. stuff, but older nodes. The older ones are still very important, and any way to remove dependence on potentially disruptable single sources of chips is great, but would be awesome to have proper cutting edge chip manufacture in the EU.
