I heard he gets $24 Million/year , that's not bad .

That should get him a nice pad in Monaco and a string of birds if he's not ready to settle down yet

I'm still surprised Renault rebranded to Alpine. Is Alpine even a thing is Europe?
Do you guys ever see one? I believe they plan to enter the North American market in 2027 with all electric vehicles.

But, Renault isn't a thing here either.

This guys YouTube channel is very interesting...

Yes . In the past Alpine was part of the Renault racing and rally motorsports .

Sometimes I see a Alpine A110 in the typical Renault blue and the V6 A310 from 1976-1985.
Alpine is here rather very rare..Alpine is actually a collector's item from the past and the reliability was/is very bad...
Via the Renault F1 team , Alpine tried to get a new life in the motorsports brand , but that didn't helped them to hit the cars market again .

Electric ? Hopefully not because EV's are firestarters !

BTW : The Alpha Tauri F1 team will be replaced by Hugo Boss in 2024 !
I hear It's a 4 $Billion/year deal !

Gives him a headache what to do with that money bomb and I heard he wants to start his own M3 race team.

Yes . That's one of MAX's plans in 2025 to buy his own race team (GT car-racing )
The 24/H of Le Mans is on MAX's wish list too !
MAX has money enough for his race hobbies , because he's doing it very well in F1 with his 3 World Titels in a row ...

MAX is born at the track my friend ...

Of course , Racing was the school for MAX.
MAX was 4 YO in his first race and he won everything !

Racing was MAX's destiny from birth , and look what he is today !

Useless to say that I said many times : "This is only the beginning"
And so it was : In this season , MAX won 10 from the first 12 races !

MKsixer wouldn't believe that ...

The money is there for Charlie but braking late just makes Max use the good old 911 way of slow in, fast out. I used similar method of braking at the Merc World track, before turning in let the car settle and you can power out without excessive snaking.

It's CNC aka. (Computer numerical control) Generated in a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system.

It's also the way and the key to save the tires ...

From that finger wagging moment , Charlie has said behind the curtains :
BINO must go , If not , I will go . That's one of the main reasons why BINO is gone .
BINO wasn't fired . BINO resigned ...
BINO : Remember YOU drive for the Ferrari team . You shouldn't talk bad about Ferrari in public !
God damn . YOU should stay calm and just drive your race !

#Nofriends !

Chas should have bit the tongue and stop complaining (screaming) maybe Bino remaining would have seen the F-car more on par at least competing with Merc.
