Definitely the right decision taken by F1 management and FIA. There are things more important than hosting an F1 race.

Also, at least we don't the possibility of a repeat of Spa '21 where they "raced" for 2 laps behind the SC and declared it a race.

Of course, it’s just an unprecedented event in F1.

A lot of upheaval in F1 recently, more so than is usual. And finally McLaren seems to have found a formula that works. And good to have number 3 back. 
 

I think 11 is on borrowed time.

MCL need to bring a new rear wing next...Spa was a big reality check for them, but at least they're on the right path. 

11 should be ashamed of being in P1 on lap 1, but being behind Max by 22s at the checkered flag after Max started P6...that must hurt and BAD. Max pulled 22s in 27 laps after passing Checo. This is boring but very impressive from a driver in top form. At the moment Checo is P2 in the championship, which is what RBR would want from him, so expect this to continue at least until the end of 2025...

Seems the problem wasn’t Angela.

Whe your surname is Krack and your parents name you Mike , you should have the right to sue them for abuse.

44 to Ferrari is the rumour.

Ai am expecting a back lash on that. That is anti competitive in my view.

Hamilton joins Ferrari alongside Charles le Clerc in 2025.

It just so happens that 2025 is the year I stop being a Ferrari fan.

What a coincidence.

Biggest Bombshell in F1 that I can think off. No-one saw this coming.

Plus, they still need to go through the entire 2024 season before the switch happens. Mick might get a couple of races this year...

Yep. Also quite galling to think that they claim Andretti, a motorsports powerhouse, won’t bring enough into the game. 
 

erm….

I reckon the owners of F1 would love Andretti in the fold especially their ability to market to the American folks where the marketing putsch is currently. 
 

think it’s the teams that are the problem. They don’t want to share and play nice.

why am I thinking it's more a case of Toto not wanting to play nice?

F1 Management are probably overjoyed as it maintains more interest in the sport, with Max likely to win at least 50% of the races in 24/25, assuming that other teams make big gains and finally understand the GE era. Take 50% as an overly conservative estimate as the RB20 was already in the design office from mid 23...

Me too, in all fairness. Smug conniving bastard, that one.
