Then reverted to type in the final race, however such a break through but then she's going to be competing just against other women this coming season where surely she will stagnate while the 15/16 year olds she's been competing against will only get better, what was the point? To get her feet wet ...

The last paragraph is irrelevant as Bottas >> Perez_2023. The entire argument that Perez isn’t good is based on his record against Verstappen, as his record against anyone else is more than respectable, including Button. You're being a little disingenuous here, as usual when the topic of Verstappen...

Yeah, it's a good looker for sure. I think they've finally hit on the right mix of silver and black.

The only reason I can see for not signing Alonso is that they thing he will upset the team dynamics too much

Or if Antonelli wins F2 as a rookie, leaving him nowhere to go for 2025 if he doesn't get the seat.

Well Pin got her first win after on-track winner was penalised, but still a Pole and fastest Lap to go with it is pretty good. There are a few female drivers doing the Formula Winter Series as prep and it started this weekend at Jerez. Schreiner: 17/38, 29/36, 25/36 Bustamente: 35/38, 26/36, 30/36 ...

Quote from Eccleston on the matter, for what it's worth.

Can it have negative value? I'm slightly less likely to believe that statement than I would have been if Ecclestone had never spoken.

I'm not going bold here. Leclerc at Ferrari, Norris at McLaren. I expect Leclerc to sustain his current advantage, or potentially even grow it; he'll have the full support and confidence of the team, and Sainz will have to be at least a little bit on the out in terms of developmental parts since he'...

Exediron

My general impression - Charles can be very fast, but goes over the edge too often, and that's a very limiting factor. The way I see it, this will come down to precisely where the raw speed overlap between Hamilton and Leclerc lies. Personally, I expect Leclerc to be quicker. But I also expect him ...

Good looking car. They've kept it mostly classic, but the white / yellow stripe accents are an effective addition.

Also nice to see less naked carbon fiber for a change! I hope it's a flex that they're well under the weight limit already, not a decision to prioritize style over speed...

Digging this one back up. I just logged into PF1 forums for the first time in a long time. And realized it had been 10 years. wow. I also realized this was the last thread I commented in and then stopped, as I did stop watching F1 for a long time. Made me realize that the Bianchi accident obviously...

I think alonsos declined - do we really think prime alonso gets outqualified by ocon? Yep, Alonso, whilst still being great, has definitely declined at least a little and definitely in out right pace over one lap. I also think it's entirely plausible that Hamilton has already declined a little as w...

Exediron

Eh, maybe. There's a big gap between having considered driving for Ferrari (as a great way to end a career by completing a trifecta of successful teams) and having a childhood dream of being a Ferrari driver. But I think when you sign for Ferrari, you're required to say both that it has been a lifel...

Exediron

Ok so that does clarify it a little. So to me that indicates he's not concerned with racing Verstappen head-to-head in equal machinery but that it's more to do with doing it at RB, & that it's tough to be competitive with an entrenched top-line teammate straight out of the gates. Both are perfectly...

Exactly as I said Alonso will probably start to decline when he's 44, your reply was that you can see decline in Hamilton because of the mistakes he makes unlike Alonso, then we had to show the mistakes that Alonso has been making. Yes, yes, yes, more diversion tactics to demonstrate you will never...

Verstappen got beat twice by Ricciardo. One full season. But personally I think given his age and experience levels that only counts very minorly against him. They were teammates for 17 races that more often than not counted as a full season in F1, I was being as matter of fact as Button, Rosberg a...

Exediron

Well I've looked show me, I only saw someone saying that at 44 we can expect Alonso to start declining. This was my original reply. Notice how Alonso is conspicuously absent. With Schumacher there were clear signs of his decline and the same may be true of Hamilton already. I take into account that...

Eddie Jordan is suggesting Vettel as the best short term replacement at Mercedes.
"Crosses Vettel off list"

Yeah, no. Great guy Vettel, but he was worse than several other options by the time he left F1, and there's no reason to think he'll have got any better during the time off.

The problem is that almost every GOAT contender has at least one serious bullet-hole in their legacy. Schumacher: Jerez 1997, no competitive teammate Senna: Suzuka 1990, probably a ban worthy action. Clark: lost to Moss when he had factory support Hamilton: lost to Button, Rosberg and Russell, none...

Considering that James Vowles has publicly clarified (for the express purpose of dispelling rumors about Mercedes) that Albon is contracted through 2025, I think we can assume Albon is not actually an option, whether or not Mercedes would pick him. That said, I still have a hard time seeing a case f...

Surely Alonso is too old for Merc to think about him for 2025 and beyond. Yes he's still near his best, but I'd be amazed if can stay there for much longer. Merc tend to think long term, and with Russell bedded in I think it may be whichever of the Mclaren duo Norris/Piastri does best this year who...

I do have a short memory however I do remember the telemetry that was were the teammate not going for the title had a different set up and won the race, Hamilton made a big thing about it, maybe one of the reasons why he decided to leave the team.

Norris - look at Hamilton: he is a racer! :nod: While commendable, let us not forget that when Lewis had a championship winning car he wanted to keep Bottas as his wingman (oops, teammate). This last roll of the dice for him is not a comparable situation to Norris, who is closer to the start of his...

If Red Bull can scoop up any kind of real talent from another team, the team might try its hand at that given that Verstappen can do almost all the scoring by himself if the car is fast enough. So that would presently be Piastri. For Red Bull, the constructors is more of a bonus element anyway, nic...

Exediron

That comes across as Hamilton being more of a poser than a serious racing driver, he's going to Ferrari to try and win his 8th title. Why do you make it sound like a bad thing ? Very likely that he has given up on 8th. RB almost sure to win next 2, and by 2026, he will be just too old. So then, mak...

48 pages... bloody nora. So much back and forth for something so clear cut.

Does anyone genuinely believe that what happened was right, according to the rules? Really? Baffling.

Either some people genuinely do believe it, or they're very stubborn about making it look that way.

I'm in agreement with the consensus. Alonso will have an easy victory over Stroll, and I expect Gasly to show second-year improvement and be the faster Alpine the majority of the time (maybe 65-35, nothing crushing).

Ridiculous decision, and my contempt for FOM (and by extension, the current F1 teams) has increased significantly as a result. It's crystal clear that the reasons are made up, and that the actual reason is reluctance from the current teams to have their share of the pie reduced and the (highly infla...

I agree. F1 is growing fat off of itself and those involved are getting happy with mediocracy as long as they get to be part of the party. Stolid and stagnant. F1 badly needs a disrupter.

Street circuits that aren't actually in the city have no upside. It's just a tunnel of catch fencing. 1,000,000% agree with this.

Albon and Ricciardo for me. Albon doesn't need much explanation. His advantage over Sargeant last year was so large that it's borderline implausible to believe the situation will reverse itself. The best Logan can hope for is closing the gap enough to win a few head-to-heads on merit. The Red Bull B...
