What a time to be a papaya simp! Terrific turnaround from the beginning of the season to now.

Gratz to Max and RB I guess. Checo though...yikes

They started the season admitting they were not where they wanted, and slowly improved to be at the front. Great for them! They have good drivers and itโ€™s nice seeing them at the podium.

Dunno about slowly, more like nowhere for ages then the huge Silverstone upgrade. The most recent upgrade seems to be keeping them in position, at least on these circuits.

Cautiously optimistic for next season though, we could see a RB, Merc, McLaren fight, with the odd Ferrari pop up. Or maybe Aston will take another step. They'd need another driver though.

Lawson to RB to replace Checo I'd be up for that
