What's crazy is only twice in history has someone won more than 13 races. Max did it both times. 15 last year. 14 this year with 5 to go. Most laps led in a season. Most poles could go too. Most sprint wins. Most points is on the cards. He's completely dominated and I can't see it stopping anytime soon.

Apparently Checo is going to announce his retirement at the Mexican grand prix. I hope he does because he embarrassed not only himself but the team this year.

Ricciardo returns this weekend

His return is going to put pressure on Checo and with Liam Lawson waiting in the wings, Ricciardo is going to feel under pressure to perform well himself.

Does anyone reckon there’s any truth in the rumour that Stroll will bow out at the end of the season and will be replaced by Yuki?

Could be all change at Red Bull and Alpha Tauri? Would love to see Liam with a drive for 2024.

Interesting that Hamilton is being regularly beaten by his young teammate after all those years of dominance in the fastest car ..

Maybe he wasn’t such a brilliant driver after all just an aggressive driver in the fastest car

I’m a massive Max fan too. What a superb driver. He’s got something very special.

No doubt that Lewis is a great driver, but I detest the way that George’s achievements are not given the recognition he deserves. It always seems to me that George’s successes are under-played so as not to offend Lewis’s ego.

under the israeli flag

I’d like to see Schwartzman compete in F1. I rated him in F2. Shame he and Drugovich are sat in the garage, particularly when Stroll is performing so badly.

I heard the same, although it’s been denied by Checo and Red Bull. I think it’s a real possibility it could be true. It would make sense after the season he has had and the fact it would be his home race.

It’s so sad to see the deterioration in him. He was doing so well before he started thinking he could compete with Max for the championship. I think if he’d kept his focus on performing well and getting podiums, his season would have been so much more successful. If he stays, I think he will struggle massively next year, and Red Bull do not see him as a long term option anyhow. Retiring now might save him from further humiliation and from damaging his F1 legacy.

never gonna happen regarding Stroll as long as Daddy is still there

;)

and he recently renewed his contract too


Aston Martin will get a new team name, after Cognizant is no longer their sponsor, so third team name under Lawrence Stroll after Racing Point and Aston Martin



Alpha Tauri ain't that name anymore next season, new team HQ as well in Milton Keynes



Williams has one vacancy still for 2024, although i doubt they go for Lawson, when they could also possibly sign someone like Pourchaire or Vesti from F2

So true about Daddy! But I think contracts can turn out to be meaningless at times, especially if Daddy decides to sell the team!

I rate both Vesti and Pourchaire, but think Williams have their own junior drivers attached to them in F2. I adore Pourchaire’s character too - he’s a real personality and I find him a breath of fresh air.

There are so many talented young drivers who will miss out on F1 sadly.

Nicky91 20-10-2023 12:21 PM

F2 had some surprises this year too


in Zandvoort especially, low ranked Novalak whom won there with also fastest lap, immediately jumped upwards from 1pt to 27pts :hehe:



their last race is in Abu Dhabi, and also love how every race of theirs is a sprintweekend too

Mexico GP tonight


hope the Alfa's can sneak in some points if possible, good 9th and 10th starting positions tbh



think Ferrari as usual will struggle, with poor tyre management in a race

Nicky91 02-11-2023 02:04 PM

Brazil GP this weekend


come on Zhou, hoping for yet another good result, hopefully more luck on his side now compared to Mexico last weekend, after red flag he was most unlucky (being on hards which were 13 lap old tyres) still good thing he managed to finish


hopefully another strong result in the quali



sprint weekend means everyone has to immediately show their A-Game from FP1 and afterwards the quali for main race

no room for errors in sprint weekends

Nicky91 04-11-2023 08:25 AM

boring quali


another win for Max this weekend :idc:



''my car is bumping like a kangaroo'' what bull****


Verstappen never has any problems with his car :rolleyes: fake nonsense from his teamradio

James 04-11-2023 08:40 AM

Sprint race at 2:00 PM UK time.

Thank you !

I always miss them

Nicky91 04-11-2023 01:45 PM

rather forget this race tbh


20th in quali

18th in sprint shootout


UGH brazil is a weird track :idc: all in all this season is an improvement for Zhou, so far, more finishes anyway, where he had more DNF's last year


also comparing him to his teammate Bottas, not bad almost very close in terms of set times


also quite a few clean laps, not much track limits, not many incident by FIA against him either so far, knows very well when to give up a place against stronger cars

Nicky91 05-11-2023 03:55 PM

crash Verstappen pls pls :fc: he's so due that

James 05-11-2023 04:16 PM

What happened to LeClerc on the Formation Lap?
