Meanwhile, two dumb piece of news in F1 today:
Horner keeps doing his best Bernie impersonation and
McLaren adds a new twist to his driver dilemma.
Apparently Horner is talking to no one but Autosport and a few lunatics who keep listening to his daft ideas and getting irked but, seriously, me, being one of those lunatics, can't stop noticing how some people on top of this sport help some others to bring it down. F1 was always about being the best and beating the competition but apparently Horner wants to bring a new philosophy to the sport: Making the competition drop out in order to win because that is only what matters. I feel uncomfortable having people like this in the sport and would prefer if it was Red Bull to eventually quit, honestly.
As for McLaren, well, apparently from that news it looks like everyone, including Alonso, wants the better driver to stay. The only one on favour of Magnussen is Ron Dennis. I understand how that might be a conundrum to McLaren.
Finally another note, and albeit on GP2, Gasly makes his case for that Toro Rosso drive by topping the GP2 test day 1 on his first try narrowly beating McLaren top gun Stoffel Vandoorne. I honestly can see these two fighting for F1 major silverware in half a decade or so.
