Everything was according to the 2024 FIA car regulations .
It's good to see RBR are further innovating forced by the sudden Laren and Ferrari upgrades, that's a huge step for the '20, continued and improvised from the 19.

Poor MAX but he drives just as well without back up. Checo's Mex fans should start telling kitkat man that he's taking the pi$$ and make some jokes about his performances if they are not doing that already, certainly LEW is the butt of those jokes already with his 'you tell me what's wrong with my car and I'll give you a $1M...sabotage indeed.

Talking about KitKat well here it is, it's going to be the official chocolate bar snack of F1.

RB is also going to gain 120 wind tunnel hours, 42 more wind tunnel runs, and 200 CFD models. Mostly for use in developing the 2026 car I'm sure.

And what do they lose in Constructors prize money? Estimated around 20 million. Checo's sponsors will more than make up the difference between the prize money and the cost cap.

I don't think RB gives a crap what Checo does right now as long as he doesn't push them higher up into the constructors championship to lose wind tunnel time, ruin their current season budget, or compromise Max's run at the drivers. I wouldn't be surprised if they've detuned his engine so he literally can't finish higher. The fact that Horner is still pretty appreciative and positive about Checo tells me there's more going on in the background.

kit kats are great. I don't often eat sweets, but we need better kit kats here in the US, you have to go to international stores to get the good stuff, all the options in the regular stores are crap due to antiquated licensing laws and Hershey, who doesn't seem to want to see the brand succeed here in the US.

I think the 120 hours of wind tunnel time might also have something to do with it.

There is certainly method in the madness for keeping Checo on and as you say it's tons of $$$, MAX is the lone star who is perfectly capable for wrenching that fourth World Title, will make Alain Prost smile.
