RBR don't want or need anyone to match Verstappen's performance. All they want from their second driver is to finish P2 in the championship. Perez is currently on track to achieve that, but Hamilton isn't too far behind him. Perez is probably safe for next year so long as he gets P2, but he can't afford another race like Suzuka.

Ricciardo is unlikely to be an upgrade on Perez speed-wise, but he'd probably handle the pressure better and have fewer race incidents.

Mostly in Terry Rogers' imagination I suspect.

Arran always looks lovely, when the weather permits. It's been 10 years since I first moved here and I'm still sometimes stunned by how beautiful the Ayrshire coast can be (when it's not raining sideways).

Well, I hope so. However, having been a McLaren fan / sufferer for decades I've learned to manage my expectations. Norris is a really talented driver and deserves a better car. Fingers crossed.

I've been a follower of McLaren since the James Hunt era, but agree it's been difficult to work up too much enthusiasm for them since Hamilton left. Since then they've just wasted the talents of a series of decent drivers with garbage cars. I hope they do get their act together because I think Norris and Piastri could be a very interesting combo in a decent car.

That's the weird thing. Why would an ice cream company suddenly decide to make crisps? Their ice cream is actually quite decent. The crisps, not so much.

Yes, I must admit it has turned a bit humid today. Still beats sideways rain though.

As someone who now lives on the west coast of Scotland I'm actually enjoying the novelty of a bit of hot dry weather.

I used to dread weather like this when I lived in London though.

I generally listen to R6 on the BBC Sounds app as we only have one DAB radio in the household and GF gets stroppy if I retune it.
