Yes, yes, I know I am a miserable old fart but this is stupid ego massaging. But then again, typical of the French.
This is very common in motogp (and has been for quite some time).....often stand will be designated for fans of a certain rider or team.

I don't know. Probably not Verstappen and Albon themselves.

I read that as well yesterday, together with another little part of the demo; both cars racing on the beach, in the sand. That is why I (as the minority here I think) like this team; they do a lot of mad stuff. With the V8 on the beach...

I love the stuff Red Bull gets up to, so much madness! Forza put up a link with Max driving on a ski slope with snow chains on, Epic!
My guess is the majority like the Red Bull F1 team, they make one of the very best cars in F1, have a future WC & mega star in Max and a party attitude off track unlike some more robotic teams.
My only *gripe* about Red Bull is the management, Horner is easy to dislike & Helmut is a helmet lol.
