Who wants to have a cheeky bet that Haas does a Brawn in 2026? No? Me either

My view would be rather different LOL. I hate the celebrities in the crowd, worse still in the pits (unless they are proper petrol head fans…… Clarkson gave the best interview of any celebrity the other week and he was half cut LOL). The vast majority of modern tracks are awful. Street circuits and most Tilke tracks are abysmal. Yeah, Max is moping it at the minute, but you are also watching a guy who is almost certainly gonna be up there as one of the best all time (that gets measured in championships, as someone who’s watched the sport for nearly 40 years now, Max is as good as anyone I’ve seen). There’s a tonne of action in the rest of the field. We are in a golden age of young drivers with probably the most talented field I remember. The only real rent-a-driver I can think of is Lance Stroll and he’s actually more than capable of putting a good drive together. I think it’s a golden era of F1 personally.What I love about F1:
*The pageantry
*The celebrities in the crowd
*The tracks
*The racing environment
*The fashion
*The liveries
*Races in many different countries around the world
What I don't like about F1:
*The actual races.
That Bristol race was nuts. I’m all for tire wear but it obviously went too far. Cars were literally going half speed after 40 laps. Was entertaining but a mess at the same time
Max out early! Might be an actual race now
I think it may have been a good one even with him in it but it was nice to see RB face some adversity. The track redesign has given Australia much better races the last few years
Wasn’t he chasing Checo at that point?
I believe they were talking about Carlos
I believe both him and George were talking about the RB yes
Hard to pay attention that early I reckon.
The Indy car non-points, winner take all the money race was pretty boring (at Thermal).

Nothing official yet, but multiple sources in the UK including Sky and the BBC are reporting that Newey has requested to end his contract with Red Bull early, so you gotta think there must be some substance to that. Huge news if true. Maybe gonna finish out his career with Ferrari? Not sure how much of a difference he will make with the rules changes in 26 but still massive news all the same. That Red Bull ship is about to enter some choppy waters methinks.
A lot of smoke about him coming with Hamilton. Will be interesting if so

Moto GP was a blinder today from Jerez. Never been a huge Marquez fan, but I love seeing him on a Ducati! Love him or hate him, the guy is a beast on a motorcycle. Fantastic race between him and Pecco. I think this is shaping up to be an awesome season!!
Newey officially moving on. 2025 just got a lot more interesting
Has to be Ferrari right?!
Has to be Ferrari right?!
I hope it’s Ferrari but Stroll is gonna throw an entire Brinks truck at him so you can’t rule out Aston.
And I don’t think it’ll really matter until 2026. 2025 is gonna be all the same cars because of the regulation changes coming in 26.
True. I'm sure he'll help close the gap in 2025, but 26 is when we'll likely see his real effect wherever he ends up
I hope it will be Ferrari too, the question will then be Charles or Lewis?
Both. Newey is an overall designer. And unlike Checo and Max who have very different needs from a car, Char and Lewis have many similarities in their style.
Was more so asking who you think would come out on top. Charles with his first or Lewis with his 8th.
Lewis would get his *ninth for sure.
What an incredible race.
LANDOOOOOOO !!!!!!!
