Re: Silly Season 2025

Brundle rightly believes that Alonso's antic on Russell which caused damage to his Mercedes car & put him at risk as well, has burnt a bridge he was trying to make to Mercedes for the 2nd seat. Surely not another bridge burnt. Can't burn a bridge any worse than 2021 as a whole, much less the finale...

Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Australia 2024

So just on the topic of including Williams in the vote, I did consider omitting them. Had the cause of Albon's accident been something out of his control, i.e. he hit a loose drain and destroyed the chassis that way, then I may actually have done so. But ultimately, irrespective of the fact this all...

The Saudi TMW vote gave nine drivers the opportunity to make amends for a poor start to the TMW season, as well as affording a further nine the chance to double their early advantage.

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....
