Don't forget Sauber basically won't exist from 26, they'll be Audi. Unlike Alfa who just title sponsor them Audi are buying the majority stake (and possibly up to total ownership) to make it happen.
I just hope that all cars are safely off the circuit before that dump truck starts backing up.
Yeah, which is why I referred to them as Sauber, because that's what they are next year.
He already did. The 2022 Williams agreement was him still being part of the Red Bull driver program. When they got to the 2023 contract though he fully left Red Bull and became a Williams driver.
What is the rumor about Vettel, is He coming back on track? Would be nice if that so
It is voiced that Sainz will go to Sauber in 2025, considering also that His father confirmed it (Source), combine that with Ferrari that might be getting a new Sponsorship with Peroni (Italian beer brand) therefore dropping their contract with Estrella Galicia which is one of Sainz's Sponsors (Source) only makes the voices about Him leaving Ferrari closer to reality.
That surprises me.
Tbf, it isn't confirmed that he's staying, the only thing Vowles said is that they want him in the team next year. Who knows, maybe its just a "ploy" by Williams so that he can perform without pressure, drive with a little more tranquility in the final stretch of the season. And then judge his performance after the season is over.
I don't get why people believe that F2 means anything. Lots of people who've placed highly there have sucked as F1 drivers and the best driver on the grid skipped it entirely. The FIA's greed has allowed a lot of mediocre drivers in and kept a lot of good drivers out.
Yes, I do agree there should be more testing sessions. F1 should allow teams to freely test their cars whenever they want
I don't know why they don't just make Thursdays of a GP, a testing day.
Tbh, I think its just Brazilian fans desperate to see a Brazilian driver on the Grid again, I don't think they really care about their quality.
In every series right now it's 'muh expenses, go do sim work instead of testing' and it's dumb.
Because that would mean admitting that its not the cars that are environmentally unfriendly, its F1's business model of shipping those cars to opposite sides of the globe every week.
There is no way Liberty doesn't want a US team with that name on it.
SOON
Even if the environmental impact is ignored, there's simply not enough time to expand the typical F1 round to 4 days. I know I'm preaching to the converted here, but there are simply too many rounds these days.
... and another thing. F1 could do with a couple more new teams. I realise the barrier to entry is extremely high, but I miss the old days when there were more teams than grid positions. By having exactly the same number of grid positions as teams/cars, it feels like the shit teams get a participation trophy for every round.
Motor racing is the only acceptable subject matter for anime IMHO. Not that I'd watch it as I'm at least 30 years too old for that shit, which saddens me a bit because I reckon I would've enjoyed Initial D when I was I kid.
Yeah, you can say a lot of shit about Bernie (and I do), but he tended to force decisions that were overall positive for F1 compared to the current fags trying to ruin it. I'd like to have seen the ecofags trying to implement their faggotry with him at the wheel, the shitshow would be very entertaining.
