At this point is there any series that doesn't have a driver with an agreement in principle to drive for Mclaren next year? I hear Jamie Chadwick, Ty Gibbs and Esapekka Lappi are all filling out the tear-off form outside Mclaren HQ. Zak probably has contract forms printed on the back of his business...
Echoing a few other posts here, I'm not sure Piastri putting all his chips on a seat that 3 other drivers have already called dibs on is a great move, and I'm a little concerned for him even if he gets the seat. I know everyone thinks Dan just suddenly forgot how to drive the past year and a half, b...
It's a little bit A and a little bit B. Dan wasn't on Lando's pace, but his race and time on the hards were extra compromised by being in traffic most of the race. Relative gaps across the race - higher orange line is Dan (crowded by other cars through the race), lower orange line is Lando (on his o...
Blaney must be sweating hard about that playoff spot now. Never mind that the 2nd best guy in points all year being relegated to a 17th place championship finish shows how fucking terrible the chase is and always has been.
I don't think anyone here knows what the recipe for success is between driver and team in F1. It sure is easy to pretend it comes with the greatness of one individual, like the repeated fable that Michael single-handedly wrangled the Ferrari into a race-winning car and championship-winning team, or ...
People here spend 10 years bitching about the lack of engine supplier variety and how much the feeder teams bend over for their manufacturer team masters. We get not one but two new manufacturers actually introducing 2 different engines, and the response is 'meh'. Michael Schumacher could wake up an...
Late 60's pre-wing era IMO. Not having wings really emphasises the bullet-with-wheels look, and I love the exposed engine and pipes. The resulting sideways and minor air action in the turns and over the crests just elevates it to insane.
The unique factor was that desolating shot of he walking on a dirt wasteland alone back home.

Yeah, this is why I didn't buy all the BS about loyalty and that drivers should have more respect for the teams that bring them in. Drivers have always been far more vulnerable than teams in F1, and shit like what Alpine was pulling is par for the course particularly for new drivers. The only way yo...
See, Masi wouldn't be fucking around with this VSC BS, he would have gone full safety car, red flag restart, then ordered all drivers into stadium trucks for a 2 lap shootout.
It is almost like they are deliberately setting things up isn't it. Shocking revelations. An American Entertainment company that owns the sport wants to turn it into NASCAR. 2026 will be the year of "The Chase". That won't pass the scrutiny. Too much money involved for manufacturers to be...
