    I love Lewis but he needs to give it up

    Norris imperious again - he really has upped his game in 2nd half - lets hope we can stuff the Aussies in at least 1 sport this weekend.

    Norris has really taken me by surprise.

    Father Time has caught up with Lewis, as it did with Schumacher. He’s not the same driver and has nothing left to prove or fight for. He should have retired last season

    And it's not as if Ferrari don't have a ready made replacement in Bearman who has the same experience as when they promoted Leclerc. 

    Would leave Haas in a pickle though!

    That pole lap from Norris looked excellent, especially the way he managed to just about save it towards the end of the lap where he nearly put it in the wall - He was almost a second up on Verstappen even at that stage... Had it been Max putting in that lap a lot of the F1 fanbase would have needed new underwear - Piastri needs a miracle

    What a start from Ollie Bearman, already up to P7, but what was that from Norris

    Bit of a disappointment after the few races that Vegas has given us

    What an effort from Antonelli though...

    I really hope Mercedes appeal his penalty as you saw zero movement from his car for the jump start

    Edit: Brutal watching the false start back from Ant on SkyPad but the correct decision sadly.

    If the paddock rumours are true and Mercedes have again built a rocketship PU for the new regs , I'd fancy Antonelli and Russell to be genuine contenders next season. Kimi has come on massively in the past few rounds.

    Sounds like Lando's car is under investigation, but no surprise as they will want to check the fuel after his issues

    McLaren getting DSQ...

    BREAKING: Both McLarens referred to stewards for skid wear issues #F1 #LasVegasGP

    — Chris Medland (@ChrisMedlandF1) November 23, 2025

    “The measured thickness (of the rearmost skid) was less than 9 mm on both cars”

    That’s usually a straight DSQ #F1 #LasVegasGP

    Praying that Max doesn't win the f**king title... Already his fanbase are incredibly unsufferable

    He goes from pit lane to P2 in an incredibly easy overtaking track such as Brazil, with a new engine, and he's treated like the second coming. Kimi in a Mercedes will go from P17 > P3 with these DSQ's today in Vegas and will be a meh moment.

    I just think he's going to cause some ridiculous flashpoint in Qatar with one of the McLarens and then do the same in Abu Dhabi and win it.

    I hope he gets screwed over reverse AD2021

    Karma is long overdue, and want to see how that side reacts when its on the other foot.

    Andy Cowell out at Aston. Another massively hyped move that's not worked out for Aston.

    Christian Horner surely wouldn't be his replacement... Would he?

    Article says Andreas Seidl, which is an interesting one as no one in the paddock seems to really know what went on with him and Audi for that to fall apart before he even got to manage a race. 

    Horner is always going to be in the background for something like this with the Newey and Honda connections. 

    Aston just feels like they're completely rudderless as a team , for all this investment from Lawrence Stroll there's not a lot to show for it on the track. I do wonder if he's a bit of a meddler behind the scenes. 

    They seem to make these big flashy technical hires but they never last.

    Disqualifications confirmed.
    Lando now 24 points clear of Oscar and Max.

    Do McLaren now have to give Lando priority in the championship?

    Next 2 tracks suit the Mclarens more (especially Oscar) as they're more low downforce tracks.. so I can see Mclaren letting them race each other

    Caps off an awful weekend of sporting results. I got up to watch the race but missed the first two minutes, pretty much the only excitement of the whole bloody race. Was fairly happy with Lando’s result and now this. Please, please not Max again

    Ollie Bearman has finished in the points, in each of the last five races, since Singapore now.

    Its only Max Verstappen and George Russell that have achieved that as well

    If all goes well next week, Norris can still wrap up the title and avoid any last race panic.

    If Verstappen is still in with a shout when they get to Abu Dhabi then expect chaos.

    Surely can't prioritise one driver when the other can still win the title?

    Why? What if they prioritise Lando, he crashes out in Qatar and Max finishes ahead of Oscar because they put all their eggs in the Lando basket? 

    Suddenly Max would be leading the championship going into Abu Dhabi

    I'm not saying that they should, just asking the question.
    They are desperate to win the drivers' championship, as well as the constructors' and don't care which of their drivers wins it. As things stand Lando and Oscar could trip over each other and let Max sneak in. Hopefully not.
    Two third places in the remaining races and a fourth in the Qatar sprint would be enough for Lando to be champion.

    Can’t imagine that Newey will be too happy having Whinger Spice on-board again, seeing as it was his antics that made Newey leave RB.

    If we get to a position where Max is leading the WDC at any point in the final race, someone needs to be watching the Racing Bulls like a fucking hawk. Guarantee there will be some sort of incident that gets the safety car out at a crucial moment that just happens to hand Max the title.

    Mick Schumacher makes the move from WEC to IndyCar for 2026 - Can only imagine he's hoping to impress the American market back in Single Seaters, as an eventual route back to F1
  • sam3110
    sam3110 Posts: 21,646
    He came out and said he wasn't interested in WEC long term, I think he hoped to get the seat at Alpine out of it, and when that didn't happen, and Cadillac closed the door, he realised the only other way to race in single seaters is Japan in Super Formula or IndyCar
