In a very unexpected news bombshell, we were told the news last week that Horner head of RB was removed from everyday operation of running the team after 20 years and building the team from the ground up. In this podcast I examine the possible reasons on what may have occurred, from reports that have surfaced.

An amazingly chaotic, crazy race day caused by the changeable weather, and decisions in reactions to the rain that teams had to do ! Also the incredible job of keeping these fast F1 cars on the track that all drivers faced today. There were a lot of drivers and cars that fell victim but the day belonged to Mclaren and Norris who claimed a victory thanks to a 10 Sec penalty leveled at Paistri for brake testing Max behind the safety car ! But the massive highlight of the race was actually not Norris surprisingly it was Nico Hulkenberg who secured a podium after 238 race starts, and securing a podium for Kick Sauber after 13 years ! He did not put a foot wrong in these very diffcult conditions, and the team executed without any mistakes !! He made history today !

A brilliant titanic battle that saw a big battle between the two McLaren's with Lando having a much-needed brilliant weekend in scoring qualifying and also defending against Oscar during the race. Unfortunately Antonelli made a huge rookier error and took out Max on the very first laps.

Canada provided a crazy interesting race with a Dominant weekend for Mercedes. Russell had a hat trick weekend scoring pole, fastest lap and a fantastic win ! His young rookie Antonelli scored his first podium capping a fantastic weekend. The Mclaren`s had a coming together with Norris trying a move that doesnt exist and crashing against the wall and ending his race ! That was a major loss for Norris who lost a lot of point this weekend !

A Spanish GP that most of us circled with a new front wing directive coming into effect did nothing to slow the Mclaren Rocketship piloted and won by Oscar Piastri ! The race went into a different interesting chapter when Kimi`s Mercedes suffered another PU issue and retired which has become a really worrying trend lately for the usually bulletproof Merc engines! Max was put on Hard tires while those around him on the restart had better grip tires. Lecric after a quick fight and slight bump with Max managed to overtake him, Russell who was behind went for it and Max aggressively closed the gap and veered towards Russell. The team told Max to give the position to Russell which really upset him, and in the process of Rusell closing in thinking Max was letting him pass Max in what seemed on purpose hit the side of Russell`s car. Max was given 10 sec penalty which dropped him to 10th position and also 3 penalty license pts. Another major highlight was Hulkerberg who was able to bag 5th position on the last lap by passing Hamilton giving Sauber and their upgraded car a fantastic result and weekend.

As always the beautiful ocean view of Monaco, with the backdrop of superyachts, provided the best Saturday Quali of the year with Lando providing a stunning lap to steal pole from Monaco born Charles who had topped all practice sessions ! Lando also shattered the all time lap record for Monaco ! Sunday unfortunately with its new mandatory 2 stop rule was a procession with teams playing teammate games to hold teams behind them up ! This rule really needs a tweak for next year ! Mclaren and Lando scored a strong win but Mercedes conversly had a very tough weekend suffering a two car loss on the all imoprotant Satuday. Kimi crashed, and Russell suffered a power loss issue making them start Sunday from 14th & 15th. The strategy they employed didn't have any risk or gamble on Sunday but was further hampered by Williams dirty tactics that other teams were also doing.

A really intriguing race with Max making an impressive move at the start of the race to go ahead and seal a 4th victory in a row on one of his favorite tracks striking a blow to the Mclarens who finished 2nd and 3rd ! Lando had a strong race to wrestle 2nd from his teamate Piastri who did not have the greatest of days ! Ferrari and specifically Hamilton had a great recovery race day, after embarasingly being eliminated in Q2 in Quali in thier home turf !

A Miami Sprint and race weekend that had action for the ages. A brilliant performance by young pilot Kimi for Merc to be the youngest pole sitter in F1 history! One of the best sprint races we have ever seen with tire strategy, weather decisions, crashes and overtakes Mia delivered. The race showed just showed how superior Mclaren was with Piastri taking another brilliant win with Lano behind me, and Rusell with another great solid drive to round out third. Ferrari are really struggling right now!

We saw an amazing performance from Oscan Piastri who had a heavy duel on the opening lights with Max Verstappen who had an amazing weekend and clinched pole. Max overtook on the outside and was given a 5 sec penalty and that pretty much dictated the race. The RB had a faster pace than the Mclaren this weekend. Norris unfortunately had another wobble this weekend when he crashed his Mclaren during Quali and had to start from 10th but recovered to finish 4th. A positive race weekend for Ferrari and Charles who scored thier first podium coming in 3rd, while Hamilton unfortunately cvonstinues to struggle.

An outstanding fantastic weekend for Piastri who score a hat trick pole and win this weekend! What a fitting 50th F1 start for the Mclaren pilot ! His teammate Norris had a tough weekend filled with mistakes but still came in 3rd. Mercedes and Russell had one of the gutsiest fantastic drives battling car issues from brake wire to steering wheel all at over 220KPH but still fending off a fast Mclaren behind to bring in a brilliant 2nd for Merc ! RedBull and Max unfortunately had a disastrous weekend ! They were down the order, had mutiple pitstop issues, but, Max still savaged 6th from last ! A crisis was called for senior RB management after the race.
