  • Verstappen will have a new ICE this weekend so a 5 place grid penalty. If Piastri can qualify well this could help Norris eat into the lead a chunk

    He's still going to start ahead of Perez isnt he
  • He's still going to start ahead of Perez isnt he

    Even with it being a Sprint weekend I can't see Perez doing anything of note.
  • Rumours that Bortoleto has left McLaren, so that he can join Audi for next season
  • He's still going to start ahead of Perez isnt he
    The way Perez is driving I think I'd have a decent shout at starting ahead of him. 
  • Also looks like VCARB are going to be just called Racing Bulls from next season - So basically what everyone has pretty much been calling them anyway

    I do wonder if they're punting for Colapinto to bring Mercanto Libre and the rest of his major South American sponsors if Visa are going to be less prominent. 
  • Bearman getting an extra run out in the Haas today as Magnusson is unwell 
  • Bearman will also be involved in the Sprint race tomorrow, if KMag is feeling better, he'll be allowed to take part in full Quali and the race

  • Well that was an Free Practice performance from Ollie!! - Wont be surprised if Ferrari have the wrong Brit in the car next year, not that Bearman is ready for the works team yet
  • Lando looks on another level so far in SQ
  • Strong rumours of Colapinto to Red Bull / Racing Bulls at the moment
  • Perez out in SQ2.... Surely this charade can't go on? 

    Mega mega job from Ollie

    Brilliant from Ollie... Great to see him make a Q3 given how close he got in Jeddah and Baku - Especially as he had just one lap to punch that in - Continues to out qualify Hulk as well
  • Where's Oscar pulled that from?!!??!? Unbelievable lap. 
  • Not a fan at all of landos interview antics there. Incredibly unprofessional.

    Gets the inevitable question about the title , like you'd expect and just goes " I hate these questions, I don't care , I don't care where Max qualifies". .

    I don't know what he really expects? Journos are always going to ask these type of questions in any sport. 
  • He probably gets asked that question every day and in every interview. Fact is Max will win the title unless he suffers a DNF even then I wouldn't bet Norris on making up enough points

    Yeah I guess it's like NJ being asked if Chuks is fit this week 😂😂😂 

    I can't see Max slipping up now , the gap he built up to Miami is probably going to be enough because everyone else will take points off each other. Constructors is anyone's game really.

    Thats great... Hopefully he'll be able to improve on his Q3 in proper Quali tomorrow now

    Although does mean he wont be able to take place in the Rookies test at Abu Dhabi now, and will have to give up his Haas seat for two FP1 sessions next season as well
  • Thats great... Hopefully he'll be able to improve on his Q3 in proper Quali tomorrow now

    I think even if he can stick a solid lap in he could be P6-7 , the Mercedes looks a mess , Perez isn't a threat so he's really fighting Gasly , Albon and the VCARBs for the back end of Q3. 


  • Would love to know what's going so wrong at Aston Martin , Newey has got one hell of a job on his hands and he probably won't really have a say in the 2025 car because that will be as good as signed off now. 

    I know Alonso wants to drive a Newey designed car but if next season's car is as inconsistent as this season's I wonder if he even hangs around.

    But there's always a chance that the 2026 car, under the new regs, could be a title winner.
    He's got to give it at least until then.
  • Increasing rumours of Colapinto to Red Bull next year. Would be the most aggressive driver line up on the grid for years

    I'll be surprised if he went to Red Bull.

    Imagine the rumour is that he's joining the Red Bull family so their line ups will be

    Verstappen / Lawson and Tsunoda / Colapinto
  • Looks like Bortoleto has left McLaren and will ink a 4 year deal with Sauber/Audi

    Agree with FA that surely Franco isn't going to the works team? If Visa are cutting back their sponsorship of Racing Bulls then having Francos sponsors step in would make a lot of sense

    Wonder if Mclaren have a potential buy back clause.

    Dunne / Stenshorne / Ugochukwu need to focus on the junior careers still, and none have really ripped up trees in 2024

    Shame for Bottas to have his F1 career end this way, but he's getting to the point where he's just blocking potential
