What happens to Bottas and Zhou? Who will drive for Haas? Hamilton to Ferrari Perez to Mercedes Sainz to Red Bull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really doing much at RB considering the dominance of the team. I wonder if Red Bull will look to replace him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 26 Subscriber Share Posted April 26 I don't think Perez to Mercedes is a go-er. I wouldn't be shocked anymore to see Verstappen go there if their form picks up in the back end of the season. Red Bull would be kind of fucked if that happened. They'd probably then have to go for Sainz and/or Norris. Hulkenberg to Audi is an interesting move. The talk has always been that Sainz would go there to lead their new project. It could still be Sainz/Hulkenberg but I wonder if they're getting one driver tied down as they're struggling to get Sainz over the line while he holds out for potential gaps at Mercedes or Red Bull. Interesting times. This is a blow for Haas because Hulkenberg is clearly doing the business for them more than Magnussen. They're not an appealing prospect for an established driver unless the likes of Perez or Bottas are keen on extending their stay in the sport "for the sake of it".

Administrator Stan Posted July 12 Administrator Share Posted July 12 Sprint Races for 2025 decided. China, Miami, Spa, Austin, Interlagos & Qatar. Quote Formula 1 has announced the six grands prix which will host events in the sprint format in 2025. The races, which feature a shorter race on the Saturday before the main event on the Sunday, start with the second grand prix of the season in China on 21-23 March. The others are Miami on 2-4 May, Belgium on 25-27 July, the US Grand Prix in Austin on 17-19 October, Brazil on 7-9 November and the penultimate race in Qatar on 28-30 November. China, Miami, Austin, Brazil and Qatar are also sprint events on this year’s schedule. Belgium hosted a sprint previously in 2023. The 2025 F1 season starts in Australia on 14-16 March. F1 has also released data to demonstrate that audiences are higher for sprint events than for grands prix run to the standard format, which sees two practice sessions on Friday, followed by one on Saturday before qualifying and then the race. A statement said that live audience figures for the sprint in qualifying and sprint in China this year were 40% higher across F1’s top 15 markets compared to the average practice sessions for the opening two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. F1 chairman Stefano Domenicali said: “The sprint has been a great success for Formula 1, bringing all our fans more action and racing on the track. “We are seeing the proof of this in our audience data, fan attendance on Fridays and from the promoters and partners.” F1 will mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the world championship next season and Domenicali said the sprint was “a great example of bringing new elements to our sport in a way that is respectful of the championship”. There will be no changes next year to the new sprint format that was introduced this season. F1 bosses discussed making further modifications to the format earlier this year. Those talks will be revisited at a later date but there is no indication of timing or specific changes that might be considered. The new format this year separated out the sprint from the main grand prix. There had been a number of different formats before this season, but all mixed together the sprint and grand prix in one way or another - either by having the sprint set the grid for the main race or by having the sprint in between grand prix qualifying and the race itself. Under the latest format introduced in 2024, a qualifying session that sets the grid for the sprint takes place on Friday afternoon, followed by the sprint as the first track event for F1 on Saturday. The qualifying session for the main grand prix is run later on Saturday before the grand prix on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, only an idiot would think that. He beat a two time World Champion in the same car in his rookie year, and won the title in his 2nd F1 season.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 27 Subscriber Share Posted August 27 7 hours ago, Tommy said: They've replaced him but with Colapinto. I don't see how Colapinto is going to give them a huge improvement on Logan for the remaining races and there's no plan to give him a seat next season. Strange one for me. I guess there may have been availability issued with Lawson due to his Red Bull contract. Rolling the dice on Mick would have made some sense though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
