  • Gutted for Sainz. Doesn't deserve that as you are entering a new season.
    The "team" game is going to be fun to watch this season at both Ferrari and Mercedes - We saw last season how there were moments between both sets of team mates
    And it will be interesting to see how the two teams treat the departing drivers throughout the season. Ferrari have generally favoured Leclerc anyway, whereas Mercedes have been mainly fair to their drivers. That may change.

    I honestly hope Sainz gets the second seat at Red Bull. Came through them and I think he's a better foil for Verstappen compared to Perez
    Audi seems the ideal location... Given Seidl is there, reunited from their Mclaren days

    RB I've read that Jos and Carlos Sainz Snr didnt get on well, when they were paired at Toro Rosso together

    Seems a good egg and is a bit underrated, imo. He's not in the very top tier of drivers but he's on the next level down and can push the top guys on his day. I rate him above Riciardo.
  • Haas have been the first team to reveal their car for 2024... Only time they wont be last I suspect


  • As an aside, does anyone else find it mildly amusing that one of the hottest young English talents in Bearman is signed with Ferrari, and one of the hottest young Italian talents is signed with Mercedes?

    I might be if we didn't undertand that Ferrari is about the nationality of the team rather than the driver. In England we tend to follow the English drivers but they love any nationality that wins in a Ferrari.
  • Seems like there is a Investigation going on @ Red Bull, with Horner facing allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

    The actual season is going to be boring compared to pre-season at this rate

    Shagging Geri on Newey's desk and smudged all the 2025 car designs probably

    We will soon know if the RB engine cover looks like a pair of squashed buttocks.

  • Unsurprisingly the new Williams is blue

    It could be "something and nothing" but the fact that Red Bull have an independent barrister studying the allegations would suggest that they aren't considered of a "slap on the wrist" proportion if proven correct. Or ones that can easily be signed off with a "pay off" given that it has been leaked to the public.

    Wasn't Horner cheating with her, whilst his ex-wife was Pregnant? - He's certainly got History of being a prick in terms of family
  • Best thing about that Williams remains the Duracell Sponsorship placement...

    Iirc, he left his wife while she was undergoing treatment for cancer!

    A number of F1 sites/reporters saying that it has been suggested to Horner that he voluntarily resigns.  Obviously don't know what is going on but sounds like it could be serious.
  • I have spoken to a couple of people close to the sport this afternoon, and everyone reckons he is cooked.

  • Toto to head to Red Bull as the third bombshell news of the season? :D
  • edited February 5
    All kinds of reports surfacing now, including photos being sent.

    Its the kind of sport that has so much going on below the surface...... and when somebody wants a story to go to the press it will snowball very quickly.

    Hope its not too much of a clash with the Merlcedes on TV

    Can already be a nuisance at times trying to tell a Merc and Aston Martin apart
  • Reminds me of the Envision Racing cars in Formula E

    Good to see a new colour on the grid
    looks good
  • Horner hearing set for Friday. I reckon he's going to be sacked.

    Newey to Ferrari on the cards? 
  • Imagine Newey, Hamilton and Ferrari together, an absolute wet dream
  • Word in the industry is he is gone, but I have a funny feeling he will cling on.....
