Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread
Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today. It's only a sprint at least actually give it a try. As Alonso said in the post sprint interview, the sprint gives very few points to try hard. Whi...

Apart from the DRS train, it was a nice squabble for positions.

Strongly disagree that he is usually poor in the wet. In my opinion, he is usually pretty good or great in the wet, and sometimes poor. When was the last time he was good ?

Superb from Hamilton. Rolled back the years. Probably the 6th fastest car out there in this session at best. Well, there were 6 teams in the top 10. I wouldn't say that Mercedes were worse than Sauber. All this said, Hamilton was the most impressive driver in the session. True. Hamilton's classy in...

Looking forward to this weekend. I think there was a bit of criticism from drivers about this being a sprint weekend with F1 not having raced here for five years. Hopefully everything is fine and we don't have another Qatar. China doesn't get as hot or put such load on tyres. If keeping only 1 prod...

Re: Silly Season 2025
A question to all:
Which driver-team pairing could be as massive as Hamilton & Ferrari's move?
Had Alonso joined Red Bull, that move could've been as Earth shattering as Hamilton's. Antonelli to Mercedes could also be in a similar category as a rookie joining a top tier team.

Seems Aston were the only team that were ready to offer Alonso a multi-year contract as opposed to other teams giving 1 year to fill the gap to 2026.
Wonder if he also re-signed cause of Newey?

I agree. We don't need to see 5 seasons of Sergio Perez in the second best seat on the grid. Why second best seat; the Redbull is the outright best seat at the moment.
