To be honest, that's pretty standard. You don't invite staff into briefings who will be leaving soon. Most companies that deal with technology put staff straight onto gardening leaving rather than just stop inviting them to meetings. In California where you have this rotating door of top software engineers between Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc, the same set of engineers are always getting forced time off as they move company every few years.

F1 drivers are an odd one out in that you can't do that. I think even in my work, and I'm bottom rung, I'd get gardening leaving if I was moving to a competitor. I certainly wouldn't be in technical meetings.

DNFs and technical problems are a RBR speciality anyway. Dan will get plenty of those, but so will Max.

I'm so confused.

I thought they already had begun at Bahrain.....



And seriously, there have been 10 DNFs for Red Bull this year already.

True enough, and it likely goes some way to explaining the performance gap in Singapore....

Performance gap? 2nd and 6th (coincidentally, 'top 6 'same order as qually) ain't a huge performance gap to me....dang close as far as I'm concerned.
