The highlights were the Perez crash on lap one and the checkered flag. Basically, nothing else happened. When the top 10 start and finish a 'race' in exactly the same order, there's something wrong!MarcusH26 said:So glad Leclerc got his home win but it doesn't sound like it's one to watch back even on short highlights.
Comes to something when even Verstappen described the race as Boring!0 -
Wont be surprised if Zhou goes back to Alpine and takes Ocon's seat for next season.0

They're both off at the end of the season I reckon.BigRedEvil said:I still think Ocon is a better driver than Gasly.1 -
Red Bull extend Checo for another 2 years.0

Looks like Carlos' options are either Audi or Williams now0

Williams with Albon would be one hell of a pairing , would need Williams to throw some considerable funding at development though.1 -
An even better move if they could somehow entice Newey back to Williams as wellMarcusH26 said:ForeverAddickted said:Looks like Carlos' options are either Audi or Williams now

Still cant see anywhere other than Ferrari for Adrian though0 -
Wasn't expecting that tbh.
Sainz to Audi is almost a certainty now, maybe Bottas back to Williams with Albon?
Gasly stays for continuity? or Zhou to Alpine with either Schumi Jr or Doohan joining. Antonelli either sits out a year behind Ocon at Mercedes, or gets thrust in straight away.
Haas might ditch both drivers too, with Bearman almost certainly in, but might be joined by someone new if KMag keeps driving into everything and everyone2 -
Perez for another 2 years is really uninspiring choice by Red Bull, guess the money he brings in is worth it0
-
And I guess Verstappen wasn't too keen on a hotshot driver sitting in the other car, and he may have made that a condition on his staying.BigRedEvil said:Perez for another 2 years is really uninspiring choice by Red Bull, guess the money he brings in is worth it3 - Sponsored links:

Jack Doohan is driving FP1 for Alpine in Canada this weekend0

Glad to see that Mclaren have ended their Agreement with JHR over in IndyCar, what with the latest Canapino bullshit

Haven't pushed it far enough IMO. 1.9m wide and a wheelbase of 3.4m is still humongous, longer than a Maybach which is a pseudo-limo. Even Le Mans cars only have a wheelbase of 3.15m.
Cars that are 180cm wide and 3m wheelbase would make a lot more sense, more nimble cars, easier to overtake eachother even on the more classic circuits that are narrower, but still big enough to have all the crash structures in place and look more impressive than an f2 car4 -
"engines with a near 50-50 split between electric and internal combustion power"
I get the reasons, but they will sound like a milk float. The purist in me will struggle with that.0 -
Sod being eco
Sod being hybrid or being lighter
this is meant to be the pinnacle of racing - let them be creative0 -
..but the pinnacle of racing cannot live in a vacuum away from the rest of the motoring world, it needs to reflect whats happening below it, if everything else is electric/hybrid/low emission then you can no longer be gas guzzling at the top. At present manufacturers can partly justify the costs to their shareholders by saying there is a research and tech benefit to F1. Also sponsors / broadcasters etc would not be able to justify supporting a "dinosaur" sport. It won't be F1 in my eyes, but thats just the world we live in now.MrOneLung said:Sod being eco

Yeah I am a bit concerned even with the aero trickery we're going to be sitting here in 2026 with all the same issues as the current regs. Needed to be closer in size to the new F2 car as I still think the size will be a problem on street circuits.1 -
Wasn't there problems reported with as active aero during the sims that made the cars undriveable?0

Yes I think Red Bull had come out and said it was very difficult to drive.0 -
Could have just been spin on their behalf as they don't want the current regs to change anytime soon. Also the whole point is the cars should be harder to drive, anyone from F1s past steps in these cars and says how easy they are to drive, Chandhok, Brundle etc. all they do is get in them and say things like "it's on absolute rails" or "it feels like an extension of me, I just point it at the apex and that's where it goes".MarcusH26 said:BigRedEvil said:Wasn't there problems reported with as active aero during the sims that made the cars undriveable?

I want them to say "fuck me what a handful, if you get this thing around Zandvoort and don't end up in the North Sea, you're worthy of a place in F1"5 -
Unsurprisingly there are reporrs saying that Bearman has all but signed a deal with Haas for next season. Just needs official confirmation now0
-
Bearman and who though, that's the question.
Vowles is saying 2 people in the running for the Williams seat, I assume he's been told Antonelli is going to Mercedes so it's between Sainz and Bottas? Or he's been told Sainz is going to Audi and it's between Antonelli and Bottas! Either way I expect Bottas to end up there and the other 2 to end up in the other seats.2 -
Yuki confirmed for 2025 with Racing Bulls.0

Perez is useless1

RB no doubt looking for that Clause in Perez's contract, crazy how he's got that second seat.0
