In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Carlos is a great guy.
This season will be as memorable as Vettel's 2nd and 3rd title seasons where there was no competition to speak of.
Crowd seems quiet on the Max interview 
C'mon now. There is far more competition up and down the grid this season than back then.
Everyone is too safe with the race starts, yesteryear drivers would risk more off the line and I could see Max having a DNF. But they're so safe now, I can't see it going wrong unless its a driver error and he hits a wall or gravels it.
Agree, you barely see any first corner incidents nowadays, 1 this season with the Alpines is all I can recall?
Competition for the WDC
With absolutely no competition! no mistake that yes history is being made and yes he is the top driver, just wish he had someone challenging him.
Carlos and Checo speaking Spanish. Sexy.
The Tifosi are brilliant must be an amazing podium to be on
Would you say the same about some of Michael's, Seb's and Lewis's seasons then because there have been many many lopsided seasons before with the only difference greater reliability and shorter pit stops. Not because a car or driver was any less dominant.
They did a good yob
Hopefully McLaren and AM will be a lot more competitive in Singapore.
Yes and I did.
Wow many brits on here very bitter. Just enjoy Max slinging it in your faces.
Not bitter, I prise him all the time, is it wrong to want competition for the Title
I was thinking the other day how come we don't get a race in Germany anymore?
Yeah, it's one of the more exciting seasons (not that necessarily says much for recent seasons) for racing behind 1st place. There were loads of overtakes and incidents today.
I think he’s brilliant just a bit boring to see the same guy win over and over again. Was the same with Hamilton, Seb, Schumi
Agreed and that’s is what’s making this season watchable.
It has, by quite a bit as well. The fact that one team hit it out of the park and has the best driver on the grid on top of that doesn't mean the rules aren't working, it simply means one driver in one team is much better than the rest while the rest of the field is closer than it has been in ages.
Swap Max and Stroll before the 2022 season and people would hail this as one of the greatest eras in F1 history.
Exactly.
They don’t have deep pockets like the Arab countries
European calendar will keep getting eroded by Middle East and garbage US street circuits
Shame the fans are so much better at the traditional circuits, the copious Arab/US ones feel somewhat soulless, it's a shame tracks can't be picked for the racing they offer rather than £££'s they offer
The joke is there are really good tracks in America
Shame that all the vacuous celebs can’t be bothered turning up to Sebring, if the F1 race isn’t in downtown Miami or the LV strip they ain’t interested.
Oh is there? Both the Las Vegas and Miami ones are newly built too aren't they, so surely it would be better to use existing ones especially if they are fit for purpose. Certainly 2 new tracks is excessive, LV screams like being another Monaco for me where they care more about the glamour aspect than the actual racing that can take place
I like the traditional tracks best - Suzuka/ Brazil/ Monza/ Silverstone etc
I think the street circuits are nullified further by the drivers seemingly all being more skilled, you don't really even see anyone snacking into a barrier and bringing out the SC etc, I'm thinking of Monaco in particular, coupled with it not being wide enough to properly go wheel to wheel so you're left with a bit of a dead rubber
At least Albon performs really well.
He has a lot of chances to do it atm.
Its all behind paywalls in germany, and thats had an huge effect on viewership. Plus they dont have a top german driver to get behind.
Of course, its always very dull when there isnt any competition for the WDC. Who remembers Vettel's 9 in a row? Or do we rememeber better his first title, when it he clawed back a 50p deficit to alonso going into the summer break and won the title at the final race of the season?
The latter is much more memorable.
Schmacher years without hakkinen were dull. Hamilton/bottas years were dull. Max with no competition is dull, its F1 and it does this to itself every so often.
Has anyone else's superbru updated? I know I've done badly but all I'm getting are the drivers names with the padlocks next to them
I’m telling you, the only way to save this season is to award Max the WDC and reset his points to 0 and tell him he’ll get another WDC if he ends up top on points again within the remaining races.
Red Bull is that dominant that they could probably pull it off

A pathetic 13 fantasy points
-sigh-
At least im happy other sports exist so I can avoid the United forum
Yes. Well done Max. But for me, much of the praise has to go to the RB team as a whole. They almost never make a mistake.
Oh, incredible stuff. The reliability, the consistency, the strategy calls, the pit stops - you name it. And, obviously, the driver. It's a phenomenal effort all around.
Better Fantasy this race, 15 points 
It's amazing that Hamilton could finish 3rd in the Championship, despite driving an absolute pants car.
Mercedes, since Hamilton was robbed of his 8th, have been all "Next year is our year". Hamilton has signed for another 2 years, so he must believe that Mercedes can still challenge Red Bull.
Although, tbf, there aren't really any other worthwhile opportunities for him, apart from retirement.
