Re: Silly Season 2025
Ignoring the fact that Max doesn't need a rear gunner, I just can't understand why Sainz would go to Audi. These are his prime years, unless Audi has a dominant PU then I don't see him winning races or contending for anything for years with that team. Maybe I'm completely off base and they will sur...

Re: Silly Season 2025
Sainz would be incredibly stupid to take the Audi drive over an absolute certain WDC shot in a Red Bull in 2025. If Audi don't get Sainz they'll likely pair 38 year old Hulkenberg with 36 year old Bottas. It's not like the Audi opportunity isn't going to come back around. I believe Ocon is in the r...

Re: The big 6 then the rest?
Shocked Lewis has dropped with some and sainz risen after a few races. Sainz is driving a fast consistent car and lewis/george are driving a fairy cakes car. That explains the relative performances Top of the pile has to be Max. Rosberg sounded like an idiot having him in his top 5 GOAT list tho. L...

Re: Official Valtteri Bottas Thread
It's contract time and it looks like Bottas has upped his level and putting the kind of manners on Zhou he should have been doing all along according to some, however it might already be to late for his F1 future, I guess teams might be wise to that kind of behaviour.
