Those Jags from early 2000s were another thing... That green!! Oh,those were sume good years for F1, right?

 

[Zhysick]

The new season has officially started and Ricciardo got the fastest lap on that first session with the red tyres and Fernando the fastest with thr yellow tyres...

Yeah, we all know that free practice times mean nothing but there is always some hope that this year will be different or at least not so boring...

 

[Zhysick]

Nope, just a continuation of 2023. Yikes!

Du du du du no more perfect season

 

[MetalDestroyer]

Race still sucked

Yep, not many overtakes. Best thing was Russell's crash I guess.

At least we have Sainz to enjoy something...

Adrian Newey will leave Red Bull in 2025 after 19 years. He will step back from design work at Oracle Red Bull Racing and focus on Red Bull’s first hypercar, the RB17.

Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal And CEO Christian Horner Hails Contribution Of “A True F1 Legend”.

Also saw some rumors Adrian is supposed to meet with Fred Vasseur, but that honestly feeds all the delusions I have as a Ferrari fan.

It’s been a shit show recently of course and I don’t blame him for leaving.

For what I've heard there are three options:

1- Red Bull but the Hypercar project, not F1
2- Ferrari
3- Aston Martin

I would like Aston Martin with the Honda motors for 2026 but I guess Ferrari is more likely.

Complete shit show the way Red Bull have handled the Christian Horner allegations, I can easily see Verstappen following Newey tbh
I think he will end up at Ferrari, BBC F1 have said Newey has ruled out Aston Martin, and tbh that only leaves McLaren, Mercedes or Ferrari as the teams who could afford him in the 1st place, but he nearly moved Ferrari a few years ago but got cold feet

 

[Zhysick]

Not a bad race. Hapy with the result despite being angry at Ferrari for stopping Carlos behind Piastri... Wtf are they thinking? Before they were saying "do opposite of McLaren" and then they do exactly as McLaren. Also, if they have waited one lap they would have benefited from the Safey Car the same way as others.

As you can see my post is spolier free just in case

What a mad lad (and a good race)

We are so back for 12 more races

My silly prediction is Verstappen to Mercedes, Sainz to Red Bull. The Red Bull does not look fast even when driven by the best driver on the grid these days.

IMO the only WDC level drivers rn are Verstappen, Hamilton, and Alonso. Norris could get there eventually but he's propped up by a particularly good car currently and isn't having to outdrive his machine like VER, HAM and ALO. If any of those 3 were in the McLaren they would be cruising up to first right now.

Can’t wrap my head around why Red Bull re-signed Perez still…

Was waiting to see if you’d be saying anything considering you’re one of the biggest Lewis fans I’ve ever seen!

 

[SalsaWood]

Well nobody crashed Hamilton so I have to go another race without a worthy champion. Next guy to take out the Meghan Markle of dudes is gonna get a round of applause from me.
