They should just sell this shitshow to Andretti already. The Frenchies clearly cannot be arsed with their F1 program, so just make way for someone who cares and hopefully is competitive instead of being a full works team at the back of the grid. Disgraceful for the "pinnacle" of motorsports.
 
And to think fucking Renault won two drivers and constructors championships in a row not even 20 years ago, to think Renault powered Red Bull anally raped everything in early 2010s, only for them to become absulute trash after V6t regulations and cucking out.

Nah, Haas deserves that role. Briatore might have some idea what to do with these Enstone clowns
 
Renault pushed for the fucking V6 turbo hybrid (the original spec was inline 4 turbo) engine regulations only for them to be utter dogshit at it. But to be fair, there were a lot of rumors back then that Renault calling back Briatore was to sell the Renault's F1 assets off. So it was not an entirely unexpected development, but I guess their strategy of spending midfield-team level money but hoping to get top 3 results ultimately blew up their faces in the end.

I still dont know how he managed to get back into the sport after out and out race fixing, which in the process risked the safety of his driver, other drivers, marshals, and spectators.

In other news the rookie race has been pushed back a year. It's an interesting concept and I was hoping they'd televise it. A full rookie F1 race could be a glorious shit show.

Andretti who? Andretti the man has bowed out of Andretti the motorsport company. Zak Brown was a member of the board of directors of Andretti Acquisition co. before it came to media attention and he promptly resigned.

Would this race come under cost cap rules or not? It's a fun meme but the autismo regs kind of fly in the face of it right now.

Worth a watch, he doesn't hold back. Alpine seems to be fun workplace.

Like the French, I wouldn't trust any word out of his mouth.

Blaming Oscar for unjustly enriching himself (test driving) for not respecting the contract while in the same sentence Alpine totally didn't execute the option to sign him. There's zero talk about Alonso's contract, so I guess he was totally involved with that debacle he left out.

Yeah, taking this all with a huge grain of salt. Still, I like the background info he's giving, Even though he seems to be very disgruntled about his stint at Alpine.
 
I still find it funny that Kick “has” a Formula 1 team. Not only is Kick a hive for lolcows but the team is hilariously bad.

(Yes I know it’s Sauber but let us laugh at the fact that a gambling/streaming platform technically “has” a F1 team until 2026).
 
Let's have another round of shout about red bull cheating

Oh wait, the device is totally legal to have, it would only be illegal if they used it while the car was in parc ferme, which no evidence suggests they ever have. Plus if they could take it off the car in a week then it wasn't exactly a major part was it.

I'm sure F1 "fans" om social media are going to be balances about this and read the full context before frothing at the mouth.
