Jenson's Understeer

Here's a thought to get this thread living up to its title - let's say Perez isn't able to repeat his result from the first race and ultimately ends up needing to be replaced. Meanwhile Jos has Max hotfooting it to Merc meaning Red Bull need not one, but two new drivers for 2025. Neither Tsunoda nor...

Jenson's Understeer

It's hard not to think that the 'Max could go to Mercedes' rumour isn't just another ploy to try and exert pressure on Horner to quit, but if it does actually have some substance and he does have a way out of the contract, it would be astonishing to see him go to Merc. I would also assume that Red ...

Another thing that is interesting for 2025 is that all the talk around Mick Schumacher has completely gone quiet. I guess we won’t be seeing him back in Formula One at all anymore. To be honest the only place it felt like he might have ended up was Williams for this season, had them ditched Sargean...

For me, the following drivers are in better shape after the first race of the season than they were before it: Sergio Perez - okay, his position on the grid still left a little to be desired when compared to Max, and does still leave him vulnerable to starting even further back at other races. But h...

Jenson's Understeer

With nearly 75% of the current grid yet to be confirmed for 2025, the performance of a lot of drivers across the season is going to have a huge bearing on who ends up where next year. With that in mind I thought I'd start a new series of threads. I probably won't do these after every race - aside fr...

Assuming the racing behind the team dominating is equally exciting (or not) in both options then, unless I'm missing something obvious, surely the only answer to pick is two drivers fighting?

Jenson's Understeer

The Telegraph (UK) are reporting that Jos has said that Max will leave Red Bull if Horner stays. Also that Jos met with Toto over the weekend. That was my initial reaction on Twitter last night, too. Christian seems determined to dig in and not be pushed out, and in that scenario how much power doe...

Since Geri was affectionate with Horner after the GP, we don't know what kind of situation they have in their marriage. She seems unbothered by the texts Exactly. It could be they even have an open marriage/some sort of mutual arrangement and in reality, Horner's involvement with the accuser was ac...

I was a little skeptical because The Daily Mail is trash, but now t's being repeated by Motorsport/Autosport I've more belief it is true. And if so it does all start to add up now, doesn't it? The story originally became public knowledge through the Dutch media, who then had further follow-up 'exclu...

Slam dunks: Verstappen - not a difficult choice. Perez finishing P2 at least means he's doing the very least he needs to be but Max was in a race of his own at the front. Russell - again, a pretty easy choice. Comfortably ahead when it mattered in quali and in the race. Norris - Lando gets the TMW ...

Well that was a thoroughly awful race, wasn't it? Hopefully it was an outlier rather than a sign of the 'entertainment' to come for the rest of the season! It did at least allow me to get this thread prepped and ready to go which, given we've only got a week until the next race, is no bad thing :lol...

Jenson's Understeer

189 that feels like a good start. :) From a quick scroll through, I reckon there are at least two predictions who have topped 200. And I think most of us got nine out of ten correct, if not in the right positions. Stroll's the wild card. Could end up being the highest scoring round in this game's h...

It's very clear that someone IS trying to damage Horner. Otherwise it wouldn't have been leaked to the press in the first place and then the anonymous file been sent. That doesn't mean Horner can't have done anything "bad" though. Both things can be true. And further to that, the "bad" thing he did...

Jenson's Understeer

Yeah, I think this leak confirms someone is out to get him. I suspect this ends at some point with Horner resigning. The only other outcome I can see is him digging in, pointing to the independent investigation absolving him on a professional level and instead saying that this is now a personal mat...

Jenson's Understeer

With the 'if they are legitimate' caveat, based on those leaks I can at least understand why he wasn't dismissed. Seems like it was very much a mutual thing up until a point, and then presumably one of them (her, you would assume) broke it off and it started becoming problematic. And again, if they ...

Jenson's Understeer

Prema absolutely nowhere in F2 quali. On the face of it Antonelli being 18th isn't exactly a starring debut in F2, but given Bearman is a place and a couple of hundredths behind him, that in isolation is a pretty decent effort.

Jenson's Understeer

The ones who were already convinced he was guilty (of... something?) will be so still, and accuse them of covering it up. An accusation that is just laughable. If he was guilty, Red Bull would have sacked him. They aren't going to risk getting sued for covering up such an indiscretion by someone so...

Jenson's Understeer

They need to be a lot more transparent with the outcome than what has been said so far (and apparently is all they will say) IMO. All a statement like that does is lead to more questions and suggestions Horner was guilty but it has been swept under the carpet. If he is innocent then surely he deserv...

If Red Bull decide they want Albon and Albon wants to go back then I don't think a one year contract with Williams would prove an unsurmountable hurdle to overcome. Albon had said something which many people took notice of. He had said Verstappen loves his car quite sensitive. This for most drivers...

Isn't Antonelli considered a prodigy just like Verstappen? Yes or not, putting him straight in a top team could be risky. He needs to get some handy experience in a F1 car.

My feeling is that if Mercedes don't put Antonelli in the car for 2025, whoever comes in will get a two year deal. Why? Well if they haven't put him in the car for next season then they obviously feel he's at least another year away from being ready, if not more. In that scenario he's not going to h...

The allegation is horrendous if proven right: 1758500680724054406 If true - IF - then it seems to be a slam dunk against Horner. Only thing that can save him is a big settlement and RBR desperately wanting to keep him but in my eyes that would be regressive and wrong. Clearly none of us really know...
