Doubled please. Will 100% regret this and I apologise to Jenson's Understeer for cursing us both

As Tufty has taken responsibility for ruining my bonus deployment, can I appeal to the stewards to have mine reinstated?

Jenson's Understeer

Some would use the term "ran out of talent" (which I hate) for what Antonelli did, depending of course who the driver is. Maybe I'm biased but Antonelli was going past Verschoor before he got hit. Was there an onboard shot that actually confirmed the contact? The other angles all very much looked l...

In that case I'm also going to update my prediction to not just drop Sargeant down to P20, but also switch Leclerc and Max:

Leclerc
Verstappen
Sainz
Perez
Alonso
Norris
Piastri
Russell
Hamilton
Stroll

Hulkenberg
Tsunoda
Albon
Ricciardo
Magnussen

Bottas
Zhou
Ocon
Gasly
Sargeant

Jenson's Understeer

PF1 Games Master, how is Sargeant's situation going to be handled? Does your scoring system mean he needs to be classified as 20th even though he isn't taking any further part in the weekend? Or are you going to just omit him from all our predictions and shuffle everybody else up accordingly? For ex...

Jenson's Understeer

I just feel that if Antonelli had already bagged a podium or two then we might not be asking that question. One comparison could be to the other drivers who won F2 in their rookie season in recent years, so Russell, Piastri and Leclerc. Russell won the sprint race at his second F2 weekend and then ...

Jenson's Understeer

Well I'm saying I don't believe they can wait until the very last race of the season to make that decision on where he actually finishes in F2, different parties can't wait that long. It does have a feel of him not making the start required, quickly perhaps forgetting that Bahrain was a disaster fo...

Jenson's Understeer

You think that Mercedes are going to wait until the end of the season to decide, that has to be far to long to wait, do you think Williams are going to wait that long or prospective drivers for Mercedes risking not driving in F1 at all. Drivers will want a decision at the summer break and I believe...

Jenson's Understeer

Easy ones: Verstappen - quicker all weekend, although Perez is definitely trending keeping his seat. Basically just has to keep doing what he's doing and finishing 2nd for the majority of the season, rather than falling off a cliff like last year. Russell and Piastri - both ahead in quali and then f...

Jenson's Understeer

I wouldn't disagree because they are out of contract apart from Bearman which is never happening. I am happy to see that we have reached the same conclusion here. Which is were I started out. It definitely is not. Mercedes will not sign a contracted driver so they won't sign Albon, I guess somehow ...

Jenson's Understeer

That depends on the actual contract. There is no hard and fast rule here. We don't know if there are any break clauses and we don't know how much McLaren values its Mercedes engine deal. From a legal point of view, McLaren could probably claim damages from breach of contract. It is anyone's guess w...

Jenson's Understeer

One race in and the F1 grid is already messing up my carefully crafted TMW spreadsheet by having a driver substitute for another :lol: however before we all start discussing Oli Bearman's super sub appearance, we have the results from the first TMW poll of the year. Some of our usual suspects - hell...

Jenson's Understeer

Well, it would hardly be his money, now would it? You said if Norris wants to go to Mercedes like that would be his decision to make, I want to to go to your team, ok we will fork out 10's of millions to get you. I think if Mercedes thinks that Norris is the brightest prospect, then another $10 or ...

Jenson's Understeer

He has a contract, who are these contracted drivers that Mercedes are interested in maybe that might be none. Yes, Mercedes seems to have plenty of drivers to choose from without poaching a driver from the competition. But what is your point exactly? He's not on the list because he's under contract...

Jenson's Understeer

If money's not an issue why not buy out Albon's contract anyway instead of a rumoured 3 year option for 2026, buy outs tend to be on a needs much necessity. It will be interesting to see the Honda situation at Aston Martin with perhaps the need of finding Tsunoda a seat in F1, Tsunoda clearly deser...

Jenson's Understeer

Bearman counts as Sainz, that's how it's always been done. I know, I was referring to the late change comment but I really don't see any other way of doing it even if I was inclined to make changes. That's were the gamble comes in, is the change worth the points penalty. Indeed. I did actually scor...

Jenson's Understeer

A lot of 15 points this round.

Jenson's Understeer

I'm not sure what other solution there is, so I'm inclined to leave it as it is. I'm certainly not changing any rules now. Bearman counts as Sainz, that's how it's always been done. I know, I was referring to the late change comment but I really don't see any other way of doing it even if I was inc...

Jenson's Understeer

We're all in the same boat though in fairness. We are until people start being allowed to change their predictions without a penalty. Then we are only all in the same boat if everyone gets online between now and quali and has the opportunity to make a change if they wish. If even one person isn't o...

Jenson's Understeer

I believe Sainz gets replaced by Bearman here but as this is such a exceptional situation, wish we players could get the opportunity for this race to adjust Sainz (Bearman)only. I had put Sainz for third which Bearman won't achieve. You can just say which position you want Bearman in and I can move...

Well Horner has come out quite punchy re: the need to now move on from this subject and forget about it. I saw the BBC website is suggesting the accuser has been suspended for being "dishonest", but whether that is in her accusations or something that has happened after the investigation isn't speci...

A lot of non-F1 UK media (Sky News, The Sun, Daily Mai, Daily Telegraph) reporting that Horner’s accused has been suspended.

Nothing from F1 media as far as I can see.

Without some context/a statement from Red Bull, that is really not a good look for them (Red Bull).

Jenson's Understeer

So Perez, Hamilton, Leclerc and Piastri each have 3 votes to their name, I wonder if they are the same three people voting and if they can share their reasoning? Not gonna happen I guess. I didn't vote Leclerc but I could perhaps understand voting for him. He qualified ahead and then clearly had so...

Question for Jenson... Hamilton has now lost two TMWs in a row, this race and the last race of 2023. How many times in the history of TMW has that happened? I think this thread started in 2018, so at a guess: 2018, Bahrain-China-Azerbaijan. Probably Bottas' best run of performance against Hamilton....

Jenson's Understeer

I don't know why, but I feel this whole Red Bull fiasco is being triggered by Verstappen actually not having faith in Red Bull/Ford for 2026, and wanting to get out of there by hook or by crook, and go to a works team. And Mercedes might seem like the best bet during an engine regulations change. I...

Jenson's Understeer

Can anyone actually see Verstappen at Mercedes with Wolff still there? I can see the temptation for Merc to have Max on board (if you can't beat them, sign them!) with Lewis gone, but I just can't visualise a Max/Toto bromance. Stranger Things have happened I guess but really? And if it did, Team M...

In what must be close to, if not outright, a new record, 2 players comfortable cleared 200 points in the opening race!

Here's a thought to get this thread living up to its title - let's say Perez isn't able to repeat his result from the first race and ultimately ends up needing to be replaced. Meanwhile Jos has Max hotfooting it to Merc meaning Red Bull need not one, but two new drivers for 2025. Neither Tsunoda nor...

Jenson's Understeer

It's hard not to think that the 'Max could go to Mercedes' rumour isn't just another ploy to try and exert pressure on Horner to quit, but if it does actually have some substance and he does have a way out of the contract, it would be astonishing to see him go to Merc. I would also assume that Red ...

Jenson's Understeer

Another thing that is interesting for 2025 is that all the talk around Mick Schumacher has completely gone quiet. I guess we won’t be seeing him back in Formula One at all anymore. To be honest the only place it felt like he might have ended up was Williams for this season, had them ditched Sargean...
