^ Wut... I thought he was gonna start pro tennis.
Now it is time for Red Bull's home, Austria.
They will feel the pressure for sure to get a win on this track. They will rely on Verstappen on that of course as Perez is a hopeless case.
It is still hard to absorb the fact that Red Bull extended Perez's contract. Just because Verstappen wants it that way they are doing this. However when Red Bull fails to win constructors championship I think they are going to handle the situation seriously.
I hope we have a good weekend. Even the Spain GP was fun despite its being known as boring. It is much easier to overtake on Austria track. I can say all of the DRS zones are allowing easy overtakes.
The guy who should try harder to be quick this weekend is Daniel Ricciardo if he really wants the second drive at Red Bull. If there's a spot to convince Horner and Marko, it's here. I don't feel the same for Tsunoda as the reason he went to Alpha Tauri or whatever they're called these days is because of the partnership with Honda. But that's a goner in a couple of years. So yeah... Tsunoda prolly a goner too on 2026 or prolly next year?
