2025 Formula One Thread: Benvenuto Don Hamilton

You have no future in management

 

So Red Bull re-launched it’s zero product and it tastes a little better, but more importantly it has a matte kind of Carolina blue and brushed chrome can and I need that as a livery like yesterday.

 

Calapinto to Alpine as backup driver

 

Bring back Hockenheimring or Nurburgring

 

What the fuck is a chief trackside officer?

 

A random title they gave him so they don't have to pay severance would be my guess

 

Sounds like a nickname Zak Brown would make up for himself

 

GM’s F1 engine shop will be based in Charlotte. Total casual here, but does that mean that they will do training there as well, or will that likely be elsewhere?

Toyota looking to get back in via alpine/renault?

https://www.planetf1.com/news/toyot...,motorsport%20Masaya%20Kaji%20has%20confirmed.


Toyota are “gradually moving” towards a full return to Formula 1 after entering a technical partnership with Haas in F1 2024, director of global motorsport Masaya Kaji has confirmed.

 

Why not through Haas?

 

Good question

 

Cuz fuck Gene

 

I’m just inferring Alpine based on the references to Apline-related F2 involvement and one of their wec guys (I think) being the alpine reserve. And alpine being seemingly way less stable.

 

Alpine is actively looking for a buyer

 

Not according to them!

 

lol it is pretty funny how Flavio is telling everyone off the record they are for sale but the official statement is no.

 

Wasnt that reported during the season already?

 

Maybe rent a car or take a taxi you fucking idiot

 

How’d do they know it was a seating fitting though? Coulda just been a long contract meeting considering he was told he was out right?

 

I figure most teams have eyes in and around other shops. I'm sure the cheating fucking banned for life pos conman has spies everywhere

 

Not Lando but supposedly his car

 

Haters will say it was max’s fault

 

didn't know a car from the 80s could be considered new.

 

That’s an awesome photo

 

That’s a fucking legendary picture. And if he gets 8 the follow up photo will be the iconic image of Formula One.

 

Nm

 

we’re still talking about Ferrari here

 

Also nice to see a not crashed F40.

 

And a 40 yo Hamilton

 

Probably the warshedest old man we’ve ever seen driving a b-tier car. We’re safe.

 

For the gooners

 

Pumped for this coming season.

Lots of interesting battles. Max vs Lawson and Charles vs Lewis being the 2 most interesting for me. Also excited that Kmag won’t be crashing into people.

 

Kmag not giving a single fuck brought some off the best drama tho

 

I don’t consider Max - Lawson a battle at all

 

Oscar v Lando
Charles v Lewis
Albon v Sainz

I’m also a little interested to see how George does vs wonderkid Kimi. Now he’s got all the pressure on him and if the car sucks I could see George having a rough year.

 

Yeah not sure Lawson is an upgrade on Perez tbh

 

my guy had that dog in him.

 

So stupid

 

This is all MBS, he's trying to put the drivers in their place after they've been critical of him

 

I read that this is a lot like a FIFA president situation where he is really difficult to remove. He also just won re-election unopposed.
