    Really interested to see Hamilton's year. Great driver but leaving the team so he won't get any favortism with upgrades.

    Tsunoda 2nd at Red Bull would be some kooky shit but I would support it.

    Yuki is fun/funny, but kinda sucks. Would only happen if the Japanese sponsors threaten to pull their ¥

    I’ll throw out a few predictions:

    1) Otmar gets fired midseason
    2) Perez does not finish 2nd in the drivers standings
    3) Ferrari will be 2nd in constructors
    4) Lando still does not win a race but has some heartbreaking near misses
    5) Danny Ric will annoy Gallant Knight by existing

    The fact that it's 100 pages makes me think he's fucked. Like you said, if they are keeping him, make it short and sweet. 100 pages sounds like justification for a huge move.

    And how on earth did they let this drag out until the first race week?

    Is George in a throuple with Toto and Susie? Sounds that way. I think we should investigate this potentially inappropriate relationship.

    Toto didn't meet face to face with Lewis for the entire of month of January during contract negotiations?

    Agreed this is odd.

    Lewis stopping over to tell Toto directly is some top guy stuff.

    This year will not go smoothly at Mercedes

    Based on nothing but pure vibes and a few podcasts and articles

    Verstappen
    Leclerc
    Hamilton
    Perez
    Russell
    Lando
    Sainz
    Piastri
    Alonso
    Ricciardo
    Stroll
    Albon
    Yuki
    Bottas
    Zhou
    Sargeant
    Gasly
    Magnussen
    Hulkenburg
    Ocon

    Red Bull
    Ferrari
    Merc
    Mclaren
    Aston Martin
    VCARB - gross
    Williams
    Sauber
    Alpine
    Haas

    Leclerc wins 2 races this year
    Max wins the rest
    Perez's qualifying issues are even more extreme as Ferrari/Merc/Mclaren inch a little closer this year to RB compared to last year and thus the constructor's is actually competitive this year.
    Piastri puts heat on Lando as to who the true #1 at Mclaren is going into 2025
    Alonso to Merc. Replacing Lewis to try and win one last championship is too much to pass up
    Andretti says fuck off to Haas and buys Alpine after a disastrous 2024

    Maybe RB thinks everyone will forget about it.

    Also... I think Ford is writing letters so they have a paper trail in the event they have to take contractual action.

    Even though he usually doesn't attend the media days, pretty shitty to still avoid it in this scenario and leave those who are there to unfairly answer questions about it.
