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. The more I think about it, the...

Re: Silly Season 2025
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 is all the more imp...

Read some news about Vettel potentially being in the running to replace Lewis. I hope that is untrue; he was past it by 2018 and the subsequent time at Aston Martin was already an embarrassment. Stroll should not be getting anywhere as close to a top-level driver as he did when partnered with Vette...

You can just use both surely. It's a bit ridiculous not to penalise a driver everyone very clearly saw move just because the sensor said he didn't.
