Well, took about 15 minutes to get from the back of the starting grid to the first corner, I did hit around 25 kms an hour near the swimming pool though.

Nothing says fun like racing around a soulless airport that used to be a refugee camp.

Fascinating to me with all the silly season business going on alpine being so s**t could actually land doohan a seat through no one really wanting it.
Ocon and gasly want out surely at least 1 moves at seasons end opening the door for Jack who I thought had no real shot after his f2 stint.
Alpine will maybe have bottas and zhou to pick from alongside doohan but it's slim pickings beyond that.

I was thinking of Ricciardo going back there. Renault swallows their pride, and a resurgence occurs with him.
Apparently sainz has had a meeting with them

I think too many bridges were burned. A big part of the reason he left was supposedly the Alpine hierarchy and I don't know if there have been enough changes for him to consider it.

Sainz would be mad sauber is already ahead of alpine once it becomes Audi it's a no brainer
Yeah he's still waiting. Could be a big mistake in the end.

Alpine were promising last race, I think they will end up quicker than Sauber by the end of the season.

Waiting on that red bull seat
Hoping for that red bull seat. Might be better off at Audi. Got a feeling few more people might leave yet.

Depends what max does and if red bull have another step upgrade that will put them back clear, if max goes to mercedes for 26 but leaves this year there is a championship on the table for someone at red bull.
Mercedes is probably the better bet but they seem obsessed with a kid thats done nothing long term so he probably isnt getting more than a 2 year contract there, all waiting on max anyway as audi will wait for sainz outside of him they cant attract anyone worth poaching to lead the team anyway.

There's whispers of Mick to Alpine too now for next season, but I don't see it.

What they really need is the guy that built the Mercedes power unit in 2013.
Forget his name, was mentioned on a podcast a while back.
Either that or Newey.
EDIT: Pretty sure it was Andy Cowell

They hired the chassis performance guy who developed a chassis that Hamilton hates? I wouldn't touch anyone from the Mercedes team like that personally given what they have developed recently. They had a really good engine that won the 8 constructors, 7 WDC but other than that their aero was always suspect. As soon as RBR got a decent enough engine and a top driver they came at them quick with Newey.

I wonder how easy it will be to get out of if a bigger team comes calling.

Contracts can always be broken, but I think that's the thing - the bigger teams haven't come calling.
It appears that Albon has been put in the same basket as Gasly. Whether that's fair or not is another thing, Gasly got dumped from RB and excelled in lesser cars, Albon's doing the same.
But RB and by extension the other top teams seem to hold on that these guys went to water when they had a good car against a strong teammate.
And to be fair, it's easy to look like a star when your teammate goes from Max Verstappen to Daniil Kvyat and Logan Sargeant.
