And the crowd goes mild...

Someone, anyone, else would have maybe shaken things up a bit.

So I guess now Sainz can finally sign with Audi?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Audi or Williams, it's rumored.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Iโ€™m pretty sure Sainz Sr. races for Audi so it would make sense in my mind

Congratulations to Ferrari and/or McLaren on winning 2025 and 2026 WCC

I don't really understand the decision (Yuki or Lawson would have been a great choice), other than maybe experience as a driver with this team when Max is leaving. Or money.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Money definitely is a big factor I'd guess. Checo brings in a big part of the team's overall budget. Also he is embedded into the team by now and why try an unknown change when you don't have to?

Paddock rumours also say Horner didn't want to promote one of Marko's juniors on purpose.

Hardly a surprise, Checo being no threat to Max...

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

I don't think there were concerns regarding that. The main issues are Perez's seemingly repeat of a slump and Ferrari closing in on points, potentially costing Red Bull the constructor's championship this year.
