Why would he need to beg for forgiveness from Red Bull - honestly what did he actually do that was that bad from the company perspective? The biggest issue is its bad PR but that is not his fault it is the fault of the leak From a business/racing perspective, this will probably blow over. From a pe...

Read them, bit obscure could very easily be BS. Would have expected him to be a bit more eloquent to be honest lol, but he has a very specific and unique way of typing in WhatsApp in those screenshots true or false, I'd say should be pretty easy for someone who knows him (his wife) to determine.

So it's coincidence that all the best drivers on the grid wind up driving for Ferrari at some point I guess. None of them had any choice but to go there, ferrari suddenly is a fallback choice.

Eugh. Crofty and Chandock are painful to listen to. Getting their little peckers up over Fp2 :lol: :lol: :lol: Why are you so annoyed? Because they're both horrendous to listen to. Chandocks boring voice and crofty dick riding Mercedes anytime they have a sniff of being near the front. Can't wait f...

But why would young drivers want to race for Ferrari if the team cannot produce a winning car? Tell me one driver on the grid who would rather drive a Ferrari than either the previous generations of Red Bull and Mercedes WDC/WDC cars or indeed the current generation of Red Bull cars? History and al...

There are a many number of reasons why Ferrari is the most iconic team, past successes, staying power in the sport, the fanatics in Italy as well as fandom worldwide, successes in racing outside of F1 aswell, its history, it's luxury brand status. Drivers don't want to go there anymore but nearly a...

Well I must admit I thought Horner was likely gone. The Me too movement is a powerful one and has taken down lots of powerful men, whether they were innocent or not. It will be interesting to see if the accuser is looking for a resolution in court, in which case the matter will still be unresolved....

My guess is, he's been at best an awful human to a colleague and at worst made inappropriate advances towards a colleague.

You:
What is the most iconic racing team in the world?

Chatgpt:
Ferrari is often regarded as one of the most iconic and successful racing teams in the world. Their presence in Formula 1 and the history of achievements contribute to their status as a legendary racing team.

I always thought Perez performed a lot better against his team mates than this shows. He did but just not in qualifying, he beat Kobayshi, Hulkenberg, Ocon and Stroll only losing to Button and now Verstappen. Is the graph in the opening post qualifying or race results? Running Average of finishing ...

Does FP start on Thursday and Qualifying Friday? Anyways my hot take for the weekend, Ferrari to get pole Yes, this week's race and next week's race in Jeddah are both starting one day earlier than usual (Thursday - Saturday instead of Friday - Sunday). Jeddah is pushed back because of a conflict w...

Yeah gotta agree with 2014. I expect that to be the run away leader here. Some great options to choose from (since it became a night race) Almost certainly nothing to do with it being a night race but it's as if the change from day to night changed this from a pretty dull race to a race that usuall...

Some great options to choose from (since it became a night race)

I've gone for 2014. Incredibly tight racing, the first moment between what would go on to become an iconic team mate rivalry.

2022 was also very good but not quite on the same level

FormulaFun

They looked in an even stronger position this year than last after testing - and they won every race bar 1 last year. I've gone for a red bull clean sweep

I know we’re likely not going to be in for a very competitive season, but shouldn’t Red Bull be applauded for taking quite a big risk with a heavily revised concept? When was the last time a team took a dominant car and did not merely evolve its design? Yes -'that's why I called RB the best team ev...

Ferrari have given me some hope, which will probably be dashed when Red Bull take pole and win by 30 seconds next week. Cannot see anything else unfortunately.

Indeed, I think this season the RB may well actually win every single race of the season after failing by 1 last year.

Shows you how stale everything is for 2024 that I've been watching testing on Sky for an hour this morning and thus far they've only talked about things that might happen for 2025 rather than 2024. That must be particular to Sky I think. The talk on F1TV is focussed on the technical changes and the...

Might have misheard something but sounds like all the pirelli tyres are overheating loads - so that'll potentially be an annoying & tedious theme running through

My F1tv subscription price went up from €30 to €140. That's what I pay for my sky package which doesn't include movies, it covers broadband, telephone package, multiroom and HD. That Sky price is per month, correct? This is just F1TV for a year. I don't live in the UK, but have always understood Sk...

I say something generic that applies to all drivers and its because I'm a deluded fanboy making excuses already.

God damn, I know it's 'only testing' but.... ominous sign for the rest of the grid that is. Jeeeeez
Marko reckons Red Bull are just 3 tenths clear of the field, still not great.

Teams always massively play down their expectations during testing and he's still saying 3 tenths faster.
Killer.

Eh? Again this "we already understand to be usual" trope; I think that is a disingenuous tactic. You and a few other people consider it to be usual.
