Hannah Schmitz, Red Bull Racing’s Principal Strategy Engineer, As Athena, Greek Goddess Of Strategic

Someone finally must have asked McLaren the right questions about Hungary!

Autosport have finally got to the bottom of it. Things we have all been saying since the race.

Andrea Stella admits thry didn’t have a plan that took into consideration Lewis and Max behind them.

Could you ever imagine Red Bull or Mercedes being caught out like that?

So they put the two drivers into a situation they hadn’t discussed. Lando found himself out in front and assumed this was what the team had planned.

And then the pitwall proceeded to not communicate this to Lando. And seemingly did not know how to communicate it.

So somehow the guy who is driving round at 300kph is left thinking he needs to up his game.

Being given position, with no prior plan of this and he is looking at catching Max in the Driver’s Championship, what exactly was he meant to think?

However, they realise, without all the information how can they expect either driver to just simply comply.

The fact that post race the engineers seemed to have a different understanding of the morning meeting than the pitwall mid race is scary as hell. No wonder Lando and Oscar were asking questions from the second pitstop onwards.

They might have been told post race they were free to race after the second pitstop but the radio messages and the fact Lando assumed they were in final positions after that point says otherwise.

Oscar and Lando are many things. Psychic is not one of them!

They have a shot at both championships. This is not a training camp, it’s happening now. This needs sorting out.

I know it must be hard for a team to publicly admit their failings BUT the whole world saw and heard them. At least they acknowledge it. Even if it has taken them all week.

My only hope is they have looked back on the radio messages and privately have realised how damming and manipulative they sounded and have addressed that.

Probably not even done with this series, but here’s all of them, at once.

I don’t even know how to feel

redbullracing: putting Max's knowledge of cat breeds to the test!

this came to me in a dream

You are laughing! Nicole Piastri’s only son sold himself to a Monégasque member of One Direction and you are laughing?

‘Life isn’t always about winners and losers, it’s about…eggs’ and all the noises they made😭😭😭

Here are some f1 memes I made pt.2:

still thinking of how charles cant do anything without dropping the world’s weight in whimsy and absolute cinema on the table like brother wins on pre-historic tyres and his engineer goes like you make me dream and he goes like the highs are so beautiful and of course it’s in the motorsport equivalent of a temple and its his cult ass teams home race and of fucking course he’s seen as like a crossover between holy mary mother of god and daenerys targaryen and everything just feels like you’re being seduced into a religion. also he has blowjob doe eyes and a dog he believes to be his biological child

I love the fact that the Max-Charles-Pierre photo is actually the second pic, yet Charles put it on his instagram story. Charles literally put the Lestappen divorce to the grave not bed

This!

Charles saw the Lestappen divorce rumor and went "Not on my fucking watch".

I see a lot of Max fans being critical towards him for today and I'm not saying that you can't be critical of him, but maybe we should actually start to think about why he's so damn angry and frustrated?

I know Max comes across as if nothing ever affects him, but let's remember all of the drama RBR has been through pretty much since the passing of Mateschitz, but especially in the past few months. Besides the power struggles and whatnot, do you think it's easy for him to try and handle his father and his boss being at each other's throats all the time? Both of them being in the RBR garage? Seeing their star designer leave in the midst of it all? Seeing their advantage completely disappearing in the span of a few months time? Having to carry the team on his back because the car is just not performing and he has no teammate to help him out either?

Then whenever he gets into an incident the entire world seems to turn against him. No matter if he's at fault or not. Not to mention FIA or the public never seeming to give a fuck whenever someone makes dodgy moves against him, but when he does it he gets penalties and hit pieces.

Then when he can usually at least rely on good strategy even that is letting him down right now.

He's been keeping it together very well up until now and has handled everything with class, patience and maturity. But he's only human and at some point things will start to catch up to him.

Yes, maybe was too angry and frustrated today, but I honestly feel like we should regard him with a bit more sympathy and understanding instead of judgement.

Mental health is a thing for everyone. Even Max.
