Re: Saving F1

Why will running costs be lower? The cost of electricity is cheaper and is likely to become even cheaper in the future, in particular in low-demand hours due to the proliferation of renewable energy production. Maintenance costs are also lower, as an electric car has a lot less movable parts and do...

He either finished miles ahead of him, or was already miles ahead even before Ricciardo’s car failed. Ricciardo was ...

Re: Hamilton to Ferrari for 2025 Season

I guess it is all down to 2026 rules but Lewis will be an old man at 41 by then. Maybe 2025 to settle in, before an assault on 2026? I would back Leclerc to beat him. Credit to Lewis for going up against Leclerc though, that's bold, but I think Leclerc will be quicker. Especially as Lewis takes a w...
