I do agree I'd like to see the work on Perez's marketability. I find it hard to believe that a few mexicans wearing Redbull polo's is what is moving the needle

Of which 95% earn <1.5k USD/month. China has 1.5B, how much does Zhou outsell Checo?

I meant more factual data such as what share of RedBull's revenues can we allocate to the Mexican market? How does merch sales compare vs other countries ? etc...

I tend to agree with the comments above that suggest it may say more about Max wanting Checo to stay than the rest

I had a quick search and it seems like it comes from a quote from David Croft where he said that around 65% of all RB online merch sales were in Mexico (basically everything talking about the value Checo brings ends up linking back to this tweet).

I doubt there's a full breakdown available to the public.

Latifi was bad but I don't remember him being as bad as Sargeant

My favourite race of the season so far. How long till the FIA suggest putting sprinklers on the tracks again?

I wish it would've rained a bit longer at the start just for the hilarity of seeing the Haas drive through the field to lead.

I'd like to see a multi discipline series... open wheel, full bodied, off road, rally.

The talk on Twitter how Mercedes is intentionally sabotaging Lewis seems ridiculous. LH is a whiner or is Merc really screwing him over?

Hamilton fans are delusional. Hamilton himself hasn't really said anything except that he is no longer included in design meetings which is normal. Going to be even more toxic if Leclerc ends up consistently beating Hamilton.

Max won Canada in a RB and he would also have won in a Merc and in a McLaren

let the WHINING begin... Ferrari isn't going to put up with that shyte.
At Ferrari, the brand is more valuable than any one driver... specially a short term driver.

to your point, teams will indeed hold back set up information and parts updates to personnel that do not have a long term seat at the teams table. it's always been this way... it will always be this way.

that being said, Jorge has been as fast... and FASTER many times, than Lulu is.

it's a tribute to how consistently **** he has been that Checo coming in 8th barely raises an eyebrow any more

Damn, Lando might have gotten into DRS zone by the end of the race if that last pit stop didn't cost him an extra 1.5 seconds.

Max stealing the win again. That overtake on Russell was key.

Teams now see that getting a comparable or slightly better car than de RB does not guarantee GP wins. Max hardly ever leaves something on the table.
