Chris2K Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Sebastian Vettel confirms "conversations" with Toto Wolff regarding the available Mercedes seat for 2025. Because this hadn't quite got crazy enough already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 3 hours ago, Lineker said: I hate this news, Dorna isn't perfect by even the loosest of definitions but I would rather not Liberty get their grubby mitts on another sport because I have zero faith things would be the same after a Liberty takeover, let alone better. MotoGP is in a great place sportingly, and knowing Liberty they will probably fuck it up by kicking out all the exciting privateers (who can actually thrive in MotoGP, unlike barely survive or be stonewalled trying to get into F1) and trying to instead make it a purely constructor filled wankfest that goes to Miami, Vegas, Saudi Arabia, and so on for financial wankfests that add zero to the actual sport.

Chris2K Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 There's part of me that wants to take on the challenge of staying up to watch WrestleMania Saturday and going straight through to watch the Japanese GP at 6am as well. There's another part of me reminding me that I'm 37, and should probably stop trying to do this now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 In case anyone else is yet to watch it, the Brawn GP documentary on Disney+ fronted by Keanu Reeves is fantastic. A proper deep-dive into the 2009 season and that whole crazy story, I really enjoyed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted April 11 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 11 So one would imagine, Antonelli to Merc, Sainz to Sauber/Audi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I still think Antonelli might get a year at Williams first, but I say that with no answer to who would get the Mercedes seat instead. Based on how Fernando's past decisions have worked out, particularly involving Honda, I think we can use this as evidence that Aston Martin will not be competitive in 2026.

Adam Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Australia is back in the season-opener slot for 2025, with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia delayed due to Ramadan. Melbourne should be first on the calendar every year in my opinion, and it'll be weird to see Japan even earlier than it was this year.

It will be the first of four times when Melbourne is contractually guaranteed to host the opening race until 2032. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METALMAN Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Does that mean they won't be doing testing at Bahrain either then? Also that Canada in the middle of the European leg annoys me. I know it's pretty much always been there and speaking from experience being outside in Montreal any other time of year isn't much fun but that doesn't make it any less silly.

Adam Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 I'm so glad I don't work Fridays - what a chaotic, amazing Sprint Quali session. There's nothing better than when it starts raining mid-qualifying. Just a shame the Sprint race is at 4am UK time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Fernando cost himself and Sainz there to let Perez into third. This is a good track, it should be a fun race...behind Verstappen anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Honestly with the hyper-reliable nature of modern F1 that's never going to get worse again, it'd be better to just give every single finishing position points. With maybe the only exceptions being DNF's. There's going to be traditionalists that will hate the idea, but other series have it implemented for years and it has often led to a longer more interesting title race. Either that or give the first place 0 points so there's a constant fight for #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
