Re: Silly Season 2025
Looks like Audi aren't messing about, the rumour is that they have given Sainz just 2 to 3 weeks to make a decision, they already have the Hulk signed up. I can't see Sainz making such an early commitment to at best a midfield team, presently a back marker team, when there are seats available at Re...

Re: Silly Season 2025
In terms of burnt bridges it will be interested to see what happens in 2026 when Aston Martin get Honda engines. I would be amazed if Alonso is still there come 2026. Clearly he's eyeing the Mercedes seat as a way out for 2025, and if Red Bull did drop Perez (or even had to replace Max) then you kn...

Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Australia 2024
So, Magnussen beats Hülkenberg in qualifying but falls behind him in the race because Hülkenberg pitted under VSC. Magnussen goes on to finish one place behind him. But Hülkenberg easily wins the TMW - okay ... ? I think that's probably a case of people not knowing that happened. :thumbup: ... and ...

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...

So just on the topic of including Williams in the vote, I did consider omitting them.

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. The outcome is that we have six drivers sporting a 2-0 lead, three TMW tied at 1-1, and the Ferrari TMW stalled at 1...
