One youtuber said that it makes sense. He considered that Perez did well w no expectation pressures and outperformed midfield w mid cars. Brings fans and sponsors too
Leclerc mom was a hairdresser for the rich people in Monaco. He wasn’t going to be able to continue carting if Jules Bianchi hadn’t convinced Ferrari to sign him to a junior program.
No chance they put two drivers in the car without F1 experience. I would imagine one of the vets like Hulk, Alonso maybe bring Bottas back. They will need someone who can keep the car clean and give feedback
One of the guys I mentioned threw out K-Mag as having worked w Caddy before oh and his dad raced Chevys lol
Caddy will Danny Ric and Herta is my guess currently. Ric will bring American fans and big time sponsor money. I’d love to see O’ward though
Martin Brundle makes feelings clear after Cadillac F1 2026 entry twist ..... The Andretti entry had previously committed to fielding an American driver if they were approved to join the F1 pit lane, with IndyCar star Colton Herta linked with a move across from the United States. Andretti Sr confirmed that the team plans to pair an American talent with a more experienced driver. Put to him that Cadillac F1 could make a move for Herta, Andretti Sr replied: “Right now, I think yes. “You mention candidates — he’s definitely one that’s considered. I think you have to keep those options open, since it’s going to be a whole next season where we’re not going to be players [in the driver market]. There are more drivers available than teams at the moment. Ten teams seems a lot, but there’s a lot more drivers, lot more talent out there. “From our standpoint, I think the play at the beginning would be to have one experienced driver — nationality doesn’t matter — and then a young American talent. “These are the objectives at the moment.”
Have to assume he runs away with this if he survives lap 1. Clearly had more pace than Piastri yesterday.
Yes thus my comment. He was accelerating, attacking and passing cars going into pitlane. Just baffling given people on the track
He’s quirky, and different - think “goober” was pretty spot-on. I think he’s matured over the course of the season & has handled the transition to no. 1 driver for Merc as well as possible. Oh, I hope you stub your toe too
kinda over all the gravel trap replays. we get it, people drove over the gravel and lost 0.2 seconds of time because of it. go back to normal race.
amazing bullshit penalty IMO. so he's punished harshly for safety reasons while they didn't do jack shit about that mirror for several laps until the chaos happened. i'd be furious.
The penalty on Lando for safety under yellow is kind of hilarious when you note the stewards left that garbage on the track for like 5 laps and did nothing
