Ben Sulayem's Bold Proposal to Counter Team Alliances:
— FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has proposed a radical idea to combat the influence of alliances between Formula 1 teams. Speaking to media at Silverstone during the British GP, he suggested the introduction of a standard engine supplied by the FIA, potentially reintroducing V8 engines by 2031. “There would be no longer any control of team A over team B if it is economically sustainable, we will have an engine for all the B teams, so no one can put pressure on them and say 'Vote this way, otherwise we will not give you a good engine'.”
— Ben Sulayem emphasized the importance of neutrality and fairness in the sport, aiming to prevent manufacturers from exerting undue influence over customer teams. “It will be an engine selected by the FIA that the teams will be allowed to use in this way we will control neutrality, power and money. Obviously we can't just give it away and tell Tizio or Caio to make it. Prices may go up and down, but the FIA will always be the referee.”
— The plan involves allowing customer teams to purchase engines at regulated prices, thus liberating them from potential manufacturer pressure. Ben Sulayem also highlighted the potential for cost reduction with the introduction of V8 engines, which could include a small percentage of electrical components. “McLaren said it could do it and Alpine could also develop its own engine; it would already be two teams. And then there could be new manufacturers, perhaps even more than the current ones. It's good.”
Isn't that called Formula 2 ? Ben own stock in Mecachrome?

Appears RBR is preparing to "cut bait"...and it sounds as believable as anything previously reported.
"Verstappen's contract runs through 2028, Red Bull has reportedly discussed multi-million dollar buyout strategies for his contract clauses while simultaneously drawing up contingency lists of outside drivers."
"Red Bull is reportedly keeping a very close eye on Haas driver and Ferrari junior Oliver Bearman as a potential long-term option amid escalating uncertainty surrounding Max Verstappen's future."
"Red Bull leadership is actively monitoring the highly-rated young driver."

Yup that's what I think's going on with George Russell! maybe not as blatant as 3 tenths in the straights but something is going on with his car!
