So the car that got up to 322 kph in quali and up to 344 kph with slipstream and DRS manages to get 355 kph just in testing

So, yeah, looks like front and rear drag reduction does the trick

Jack Doohan got into the Haas lineup

Lando Norris predicts races will be more chaotic with the new regs

F1 to winning a podium in the World Destructor's Championship despite being sacked after five races to crashing multiple times in a Super Formula test and getting booted from the series to Haas reserve driver. He was never F1 material and made it there only by the stars aligning, but man did he ever get a raw deal.

The right bloodline also helps. Maybe Jack should've have followed his Dad on two wheels instead of having a go on four? Assuming of course Dad would let him, and I would completely understand if Mick said absolutely not.

Remember that this is the same Mick Doohan who almost lost his leg in a crash during qualifying at the 1992 Dutch TT, only to get back on the bike 8 weeks later, and subsequently win 5 World Riders' Championships.

Rumor is Kardashian mother has been courting Hamilton for years to manage post F1 career.
Hamilton and longterm manager split this week, same week as flabbyass daughter 1 is "seen" in company of F1 superstar Hamilton. Perhaps they are dating says the press.

Rich gimp photographer Kym Illman suggests Hamilton will leave Ferarri mid-season.

This will be a stage managed exit for Hamilton before the end of the season followed up by lots of nigger level fashion and jewellery promotions and deals.

They WILL lose Leclerc. It would literally take a WDC for him to stay put. He has to fulfill the title of "Il Predestinato", and what good is that title if Ferrari can't enable him to get there before he ages out?

My working theory is that both Leclerc and Russell were pissing themselves over Piastri in 2025. Maybe it was just a confluence of factors that put Piastri in line for WDC, but damn it, Leclerc and Russell were there on the grid first. And if a young guy like that is going to snap up the WDC before they get a chance, or even get closer than they did again, they will start to look real old, real quick. And the bosses will probably start looking at the younger guys - a rather solid rookie class of 2025 - to ascend rather than wait on the guys who haven't delivered yet.

Bearman is still their reserve GP man, and Haas has enough drivers to theoretically spare him.

I said it after Mexico City: Bearman should take that as a threat. It's his predestined path upward, yes, but when it has wrecked so many bigger names than him, he kind of has to wonder if he needs to step up to a different team, where the pedestal isn't quite so high, but is wide enough that he can't be knocked off it that easily.

My money is still on Max quitting Red Bull = quitting F1 altogether.

Sainz if Williams are a disaster

Sainz is staking his reputation on Williams. Not to mention (unpopular opinion) it allows him to play out what I think are control freak tendencies on his part. If there's a culture change at Ferrari where they might actually decide they want to listen to someone who will probably annoy the shit out of the engineers, he would probably be open to it, but I suspect he gets more control over at Williams, and that makes him happier. He'd rather be at a less illustrious team if it means he gets more of the "in charge" nods, particularly since he's always been stuck being the #2 driver wherever he's been, and I don't think he's ever really been happy about that. That wouldn't change at Ferrari, by the way. If Bearman ascends, he's the project, not Sainz. He still gets put in a corner.

If he abandons Williams after practically glowing over his successes there and the projected growth path, he loses the shine of being the Formula 1 "nice guy", because a return to Ferrari would look like cold opportunism, not the promotion it seemed to be when he moved over from McLaren.
 
My best guess is that Verstappen will announce his retirement from F1 somewhere around mid or 3/4 of the way through the season. Complete the season with some grace, say his thank yous and just walk away. Off to do another race series perhaps.

My guess for Hamilton is that he will flounce off mid season, blame Ferrari for not giving him a competitive car while Leclerc keeps pace in car 2. Whether it be a Hamilton resignation, or a Ferrari firing I dont think we will know.
We will know about his Jewellery brand and his clothing brands though. All managed by moma Kardashian.
