Cars are closer. Going to be an excellent season but 33 looks to remain numba 1. 
 

some early predictions. Sargeant, magnussen, Perez gonna lost their drives. Ferrari are going to win a few races. Russel will outscore 44 again this year. ( like 2022) 

alpine are terrible. Damn. 

Agree on your predictions and can also add Oscar will be right up there and probably challenge Lando for that McLaren #1 title. I somehow think that despite the brilliant move he made to McLaren, if Lando doesn’t move aside, he will possibly replace LH or SP?

cars are closer but it seems like it will still be pretty much a copy paste. Max out front all boring and the rest of the guys make it exciting for the rest of the positions. 
 

o and I love the new green and black alfa stake or whatever it’s called now. Almost looks like they doing aero testing with that wet paint stuff.

More of the same. Max in a different league.

I saw a graphic after the race - Max Checo 1 2 this year and last year. The gap between Max and Checo between 2023 and 2024 DOUBLED in the favour of Max.

Mad Max.

Fiona Hewitson, Jos Verstappen’s girlfriend.  

A bit awkward, one imagines, when one of the text threads is her inquiring how excited she had Horner and him replying that he had to finish himself off in the aircraft toilet.

Edit:  What a silly plonker Horner is.  Shades of Kepler Wessels regarding himself as the rooster, with his teammates’ wives being the occupants of the proverbial henhouse.

Wow no wonder Jos is a bit grumpy.  And I guess we know now who also leaked the messages.

But yup - how stupid can Horner be if those messages are genuine - why would you get involved in something like that when you are happily married.  Unless he isn't.....

Talking of Jos Verstappen, I quite enjoy the Eddie Jordan and DC podcasts - a bit different, and not completely F1 related.  In the one episode, Eddie Jordan mentions that he believes Max's talent didn't come from Jos, but from his Mom, Sophie.  In fact, Eddie Jordan reckons that the fasted Verstappen out there is neither Max or Jos, but Sophie who should have and would have been very competitive in F1.  Interesting.

Audi in F1 from 2026. And of course they own Ducati.

Apparently both current drivers are on the way out. Hulk in and apparently Sainz coming in to start the prep for 2026 Audi takeover. (Lewis is taking his Ferrari seat in 2025

Bottass living his best Aussie bogan life. Gotta love the guy.

Zhou I reckon warrants a seat more than Sergeant does, but Sainz better get to it quick quick to ensure he keeps a seat. Audi aren't gonna wait forever.
