Looks like 120 extra hours not 12.

I expect Liam will possibly have a supporting role for Max and realistically will probably give a hard time to the others with the new RB 21 which I expect he will get to know quickly in spite of lack of long term F1 drives. It's strange but I can somehow see the same sort of aggression and determination to do well in Liam as much as there is in Max.

I'm on the floor laughing as GP Fans did an 'end of year awards' poll and stated that MAX got thrashed by LEW . Really more faith hope and charity for LEW I would have thought or they rigged the poll

The RB21 is going to be a drastically better car, so it will be hard to compare apples to apples.

Poor 'ol Zhou can't get a break, kicked out from Kick Sauber and no drive for '25 as with KMag also using desperate measures to get Hulkenberg a point or two.

There is no spare wheel on my car and a 'space saver' that would maybe fit or not costing silly £££ from Italy last I looked, so I found an exact front wheel for mine for a song (which can be used temporarily on the rear should the need apply) and I have a spare tyre here already.
