Italian and Spanish sport rags are shit, as well as British tabloids. Italian and Spanish broadsheets are generally reputable, as well as German and British specialist magazines.
That much I know.

What's the difference between rags, tabloids and broadsheets?
Anyway, safest bet is just to not react too quickly to any 'breaking news'. If not reported by multiple outlets, just assume it's fake news?
Now, if McLaren is really hoping to dump Ricciardo, maybe it is time for him to move on. Best case scenario if Hamilton retires and he gets a Mercedes seat? I really don't want to see him in a Haas or Williams. Renault is probably his best chance to save the day and be a hero?
You can do it Ricciardo! If you can run with Max, surely you can run with Lando? You can win again mate! Believe in yourself!

Oh, nice.
I'm a Mclaren fan and a Ricciardo fan, my take is simple: he is lucky he didn't get fired on the spot and they asked him some money back in retaliation.
It was since the times of Perez that a driver did not put out such an abysmal performance with the team (Yeah, the Monza victory... just a fluke and a race Mclaren's pitwall asked Norris to concede to Ricciardo).

I wonder how Max would do in a modern day McLaren.
Apparently both Ricciardo and Perez failed to impress in McLarens; however, the pair did reasonably well in RBs though.
Makes me wonder just how freaking amazingly adaptable Lando really is... to shine so bright in a weird behaving car like that.
This has to be one of the most silliest silly season in recent memory? My memory sucks though, if this season isn’t the most silliest, it should at least be up there somewhere…
and who would sue Piastri?
His departure from Alpine, it has been revealed, was not because of anything done by Alonso. Piastri never had a contract with Alpine, Renault Driver academy (apparently a separate entity) had testing obligations with him, and if he was good enough he could be picked up by the F1 team, thus, when McLaren presented their contract, the review board saw no conflict.

Oh and some details about the Las Vegas GP were leaked in a letter to one local council, a business council if memory serves right.
Organizers need help procuring a couple hundred volunteers, a similar amount of fire extinguishers, about a dozen cranes. It will be held on Saturday, Nov 18. at 10 PM local time, which should be 6 AM UTM.
Track might be crap, but who can say no to an evening of racing and drinks?

There must be somebody who Piastri doesn't like or just can't work with within Alpine?Originally Posted by FaultyMario
I personally really cannot see what's the big deal between McLaren and Alpine in the near term. They are now scoring pretty much same amount of points. Also, besides Lando, just looked at how many careers of young drivers, including old driver like Ricciardo, ruined by modern day McLarens! Plus, he is really that confident that he can beat Lando as teammate?
Just not sure this is worth fighting for. If I really have a contract with McLaren, I'd just let McLaren's lawyers fight this fight and I'll stay quiet and not appear to be so ungrateful to Renault. This is just so odd.
HE NEVER WORKED FOR ALPINE.
One does not break a contract that one does not have. Piastri was under contract with a different company, Renault Driver Academy, which does not participate in Formula 1, that's why he was free to negotiate.
Like Blerpa said a few posts ago, it is Renault's own incompetence biting them back. And TBF, this predates Szaftnauer's arrival.
acket.
