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...

Interesting if true and of course would make total sense. “Carlos Sainz has been chosen by Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton’s replacement for the 2025 F1 season, according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.” https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1046710/1/rumours-swirl-italy-mercedes-have-chosen-lewis-ha...

This seems a lot more likely to me - https://twitter.com/SportmphMark/status/1778726142565896375 Yeah It's believable amongst all the rumours and counter rumours, it does make you wonder why Norris passed the litmus test though, do they have to run it past Verstappen? I guess what they don't want i...

Had read today morning that Audi are urging Marko to make a decision regarding Perez. Audi seem to be interested in getting Perez over & this could be a good move for Perez to headline a manufacturer team.

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.

"I'm here to stay" statement seems as if it's an indirect taunt to Mercedes & Red Bull for not accepting his demands or his candidature as a whole.

Ironic thing is whilst all the good drivers are running about to get a drive for 2025, Stroll is warming his seat & will keep doing so to Krakk's amusement.

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?

UnlikeUday

This could mean either: - Alonso doesn't want to drive as a no. 2 driver to Verstappen & be his supportive aid to help win WDC & WCC with Verstappen as the star OR - Alonso wants to command his worth in Red Bull & make that team work for him as he (probably) thinks he's as good as Verstappen or bett...

Rumour:
Renault is considering selling the Alpine team with the condition that the new owner/team uses Renault as their engine supplier till 2029.

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. This is not the first time we are seeing this though; I remember the years of suffering through Barrichello/Kovalainen/Massa/Webber...

Ridiculous & delusional of the Aston Martin employees if you were to ask me: Yes and no, IMO. Obviously, it's ridiculous that if you're thinking of replacing one Aston Martin driver with Sainz, it would be Alonso. Replacing Stroll with Sainz (or just about anyone else, for that matter) would clearl...

Sainz's only deserved move would be Red Bull as that team is still the best. But Checo is doing good enough to keep that seat his. Mercedes doesn't seem like the team to go but could again create wonders in 2026 with new regulations. Aston Martin is a good choice as McLaren isn't an option. Below A...

The cooler conditions suited McLaren & Mercedes. Today the weather is the hottest it has been this weekend. It could take some performance away from these two teams.

Great lap from Perez, he looked great through the mid sector, pushing it Looked to me like he had to kill his tyres to even be close to max in s1 and s2 then he massively fell off s3. I suppose its good in that he is p2, but thats more a reflection of the relative car performance You could say that...

Why are all the cars sat in the garage in FP2? Rain is due to start in about 6mins....you would think they would want to get out there.

They would've but since it won't be raining on Sunday(earlier it was forecasted hat it will do so), it did n't make sense to run.

Neither should he if the other options are Sainz and Alonso.

If you're referring to Perez, the pressure to finish 2nd in WDC gets the add-on pressure of Sainz & Alonso's availability. It all depends what Red Bull want from a driver in the 2nd seat.
