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...

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...

Rumour has it that an offer to Sainz has already been made by Red Bull but the money side of it is a bit miserly and Sainz wants more. If Sainz turns down Red Bull because of money then we can't be to sad if he ends up with a midfield future at Audi, at least he will have plenty of money. Wow i can...

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.

The hardest question to figure out right now is who the second best driver on the grid is. There really is no clear answer.
I think it's probably Norris.

Probably on present form although I hear he's to nice the be world champion.

Not sure what was wrong with Hamilton. He was good in Sprint race but in today's race he was competing in the midfield. Midfield is getting more interesting, Alpine seems to have better pace this weekend. But I think Bottas and Hulk were the best among midfield drivers. Ricciardo has a good record ...

Some spicy comments from Ricciardo - “I slowly started to calm down and then I was told what Lance thinks of the incident,” he stated. “Apparently, I'm an idiot and it was my fault, so that made my blood boil because it's clear as day and it's also behind a safety car. “The only thing you've got to...

That's a decent result I'll take that.

What’s going on here then? It was as good as even last season (with Gasly on a slight edge on points) and most expected Gasly to kick on and beat Ocon this season. But it’s currently 5-0 to Ocon in qualifying (5-1 if you include sprints). Ocon has been the better driver in races too. I think Ocon h...

It wasn't the bad setup that cost him though. He had pace. He just made a mistake. In the statement he said it made the car worse, he also I believed blamed the mistake on the set up, the self harm is painful to watch I would say for Hamilton fans, also as I said before if not for the Ferrari contr...

well, that qualifying compared to yesterday was a shocking performance from hamilton. Another brainless qualifying strategy focusing more on saving tyres than actually getting through the session, Hamilton has to bear responsibility for this given the amount of last minute attempts we see to get th...

If sainz doesn't get a penalty for that, it will be because it was between teammates. He certainly should get one Just watching it back. Nothing wrong with any of it. Good hard racing. Alonso.

Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today. It's only a sprint at least actually give it a try. I think Hamilton would be just relieved of the points given his season thus far plus a sprint ...

I think they did the right thing reinstating Norris' lap but that being said it's only sprint qualifying so it's no biggie anyway.

I assume Tsunoda has never driven this track before, definitely not in an F1 car. Oh yeah...good point. But it's true also that Ricciardo has gotten a new chassis too. Ricciardo was close to Tsunoda last time out which I thought already debunked the rogue chassis angle, when Ricciardo was beating V...

pokerman

Ricciardo having the edge over Tsunoda which could be either because Ricciardo does well at China OR because he has got a new chassis. The session was a bit of a lottery so it's likely Tsunoda didn't get his tyres up to temperature correctly. If DR is again faster by a similar margin in proper qual...

Wow! I knew it was a weak engine, but that's literal lawnmower territory. Might as well have stayed in karts!

I'm guessing 110HP, Max Verstappen has come out and said the cars are very slow and he's not sure how well they prepare the Ladies if they look to step up.

Wolff: "We managed to make a change in the regulations in FRECA that got our driver a fourth entry and reduced the steering load."

Sainz over Perez is not so clear cut decision, especially how RB#2s struggled in the past. Most likely he will have a similar performance as a 'relaxed Perez' (vs the 'I can be a champion' Perez of last year) And, you are still ignoring things you don't like for your version of the history. RB repo...

It does not matter what I project, the scenario will play out the same regardless whether Red Bull is dominant or not. There is an upside if the car itself becomes less competitive, but currently we don't have any evidence of that. If anything, having the competition catch up it becomes all the mor...

I don't see liegate as an example of him causing problems for Ferrari; I see his tendency to throw everyone but him under the bus when things go wrong to cause problems for him and for Ferrari (but mostly for him).

"allowed himself to be coerced" is a funny way of framing a grown man lying to the officials.

Having just Verstappen as the (vastly) better driver will work out better the WDC and will work out worse for the WCC if RB no longer has the outright fastest car.
