Red Bull's 2033 offer to Verstappen is not about money. It is about securing their PU project. Verstappen's 2027 counter is not about money either. It is about whether Red Bull Powertrains can win in year 2 of the new regs. #F1 #Formula1 #Verstappen autodromef1.com/red-bull-rac...

This is one aspect of the problem. Litigants in person use AI to generate often excessively lengthy pleadings and submissions that can seem superficially plausible but which require to be sifted through minutely to identify what is real. It’s common for LiPs not fully to understand what they submit.

The violation of Sporting Rule 1.8.1 reminds me of the time when Keith Duckworth (the "worth" in Cosworth) pointed out that 1.5 litre turbocharged engines were illegal, because the turbocharger was a separate gas turbine sharing the same combustion chamber as a piston engine. Politics said No.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.
