I don't think touchy feely is a characteristic of a winning team:)..........however, it is a sea change for RB with the death of the cofounder of the parent company and the change of control, which was a big part of Christian's departure. Lots of rumours that he is going to show up with another team.

Red Bull was Dietrich Mateschitz's toy/hobby. RB is now a department in a corporation, with an HR department. And it will be interesting to see where Horner lands

F1 Monaco & Standings as of June 7, 2026

[RDMcG]

I expected Monaco to be the usual parade with nothing happening after Quali.
I was way wrong- an exciting and incident-filled race.

The cars are physically too large for Monaco . Some cars at full steering wheel lock were barely making some of the turns .

Monaco was great when cars were the size of a Miata , now they are the size of a Suburban !!

I will admit to really enjoying 2026 as Kimi has been my favorite driver since he hit the scene, and though he has had some tough luck lately, it was nice to see the charge Ferrari has made over the last two races. Regardless of what team or driver you favor it is always alot more fun when things are close. Hamilton's win was a cheer for all the older drivers in the World, amateur or professional, since age sneaks up on ye olde reflexes regardless of who you are. Positive proof race drivers are athletes as the workouts the best do daily are right there with those in many other sporting venues.

[RDMcG]

Yes, a good season.

I am quite impressed wth Max Verstappen this year, clearly outdriving his car. He never gives up.

[WillyDaP]

Agree RD and it appears he may have found a solid team member as Isack Hadjar has put in some solid runs for someone so new, and with a car that does not appear to have the edge it has enjoyed for quite a few years. It will be interesting to see if Russell gets his composure back or if Hamilton's movement into his second childhood will catch his old teammate and move him behind Mr. Goat's replacement?
