While I would love this to be real, I'm afraid it's too early for Lawson for RB seat. Even if he has shown absurd pace one year ago and last weekend, he still needs some experience.
Maybe it's time for Tsunoda to get promoted to RBR? He can't be any worse than Checo has been this season. Lawson and Colapinto at RB would make for some interesting racing, given that they're two of the more exciting rookies we've seen in the past couple of years.
Colapinto also deserves 2025 seat like no one else on this grid, he already started demolishing Albon, regularly scoring points in a crappy Williams.. Dude has crazy potential, possibly even bigger than Bearman, Doohan or maybe even Piastri
Fair call, though I'm not convinced that Colapinto could be bigger than Pastry. On par with perhaps, but Pastry is something special.
 
I think Tsunoda will get the RB seat but purely due to the pressure from Honda. Like how Perez brought in Mexican money.
They're a 1 man team and that man is Max, they don't want competition between drivers. Tsunoda I see as willing to take a Filipe Massa role at RB.
 
McLaren getting the lawyers involved in the 5 second penalty have had their appeal dismissed because it didn't present any relevant new information.

The grand stands are empty for qualifying. Just look at the one on the main straight.

Plenty of empty seats in the stadium too.

Doesn't bode well for the continued existence of this race on the calendar.

Aaaand there goes Checo in Q1, Don't blame the Mexican fans for not bothering.

Piastri also out in Q1. Well that's what you get for one mistake and the softs didn't last two hot laps. Also Bottas made it out of Q1 in a long time

> Crofty cums about 5 loads at once

And now the post nut come down when someone tells him Max has another new set of tyres.

The ferraris getting fast is bad for Norris, also having Max infront of him ain't good either.

This bodes very well for next season since we start with essentially the same cars as we finish this season with and they can start work on 2026's car so probably won't be pouring too much development into the 2025 season when those cars are basically getting scrapped.

What is with all these single name faggots? Fucking "Duki".

Yeah man, you are so cool and I want to grow up and be like you with your bad haircut and fruity voice.

So, I am hopeful we are going to have a very good race today. Mexico is a nice track and there should be some good action. That slip stream is powerful and the long straight to turn 1. Combined with what seems like the top 4 teams being a little closer in performance we *might* get a fair amount of dueling if they all can stay close as the race stints progress.

What are chances of a pileup into Turn 1? If that happens could change the championship quite a bit if either of the leading 2 are involved. Assuming both aren't involved. LOL

And how many times will we get fatso Croft saying "it certainly is" and "isn't it just" and his other constant stupid asides?

So Norris gets a 5 second penalty for forcing another driver off track but Max gets 20 seconds (even though Max was ahead at the apex in both cases, though the second one was optimistic).
 
Damn they laying the smack down on Max now. I don't know if they just aren't playing his radio or the team isn't telling him yet. LOL

If Max was smart/dirty, he'd take out Norris now because he is heading towards losing 15 points of his title lead.

Senna/Schumi would do it! LOLOL

It's pretty easy to be ahead at the apex if you have no intention of actually making the corner.
 
Aston coasting off early season again in the constructor’s. Haas seems like they may be the fifth best team currently, especially if they can cash in on double points today.
 
The race was damn near unwatchable with the constant garage shots that lasted half a lap or more before someone realised there is still a race happening. What the fuck was the tv direction here? Probably rhe worst I've seen.

20 secs was pretty bullshit, 5 for the 1st and 10 for the 2nd seems a lot more fair, especially since they did nothing about Perez/Lawson and Perez/Stroll at the same corner for very similar incidents.
 
RIP Perez

EDIT: Holy shit, Leclerc, what was that
At the very least he managed to catch the car. And got the fastest lap in the end. If Ferrari can hold this speed till the end they will be construcctors championship. And Hamilton might rub his hands with glee considering he will be driving that car next year. Though the disadvantager for Ferrari will be even less wind tunnel time
