F1 2024

I've seen in a few places that the Alpine F1 team is going to be sold to Hyundai. Would be interesting to see if true.

Is hyundai buying renault at a corporate level?

Looks like a Vettel comeback might actually happen. Would be a great fit for Mercedes.

Sebastian Vettel: Former Formula 1 world champion thinking about comeback

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel says he has been thinking about coming out of retirement but it is not his "number one priority".

Haven't seen anything at that level? Doesn't mean there is nothing going on, just haven't seen anything. Renault have seemed to hold on to the F1 team in the past, no matter what.

I would doubt it. Renault and Nissan formed a working Alliance years ago. Im sure Nissan wouldn't want Hyundai coming to the party

No surprise from the race, just glad of where Carlos ended up.

Feel so sorry for Williams, they are having such a tough time.

Sounds like the way in for Andretti

 

[gpaevo]

So Fernando has re signed for Aston Martin.

 

[svensktoppen]

I'm sure there is a get-out clause in there... So Vettel to Mercedes next year then? Or Sainz? Who knows, lol.

 

[DC.]

All depends on young Kimi Antonelli.

If he’s good enough & ready he’ll partner Russell next year at Mercedes. If not Mercedes have to go get someone to fill in until he is ready.

Sainz is pretty much set for Red Bull unless he takes a massive punt on Audi turning things around at Sauber.

Vettel replacing Hamilton would be fanciful. German driver, German marque, German engine. But is he up to it?

Would Bottas move back to Mercedes? Is he part of Audi’s plans?

Maybe Aston will finally move to replace Lance Stroll?

Silly season is here.

 

[Nickyyy]

Vettel should stay retired

 

[big_pete]

I think Kimi will end up at Williams for a year first. Time Sargent was gone. He is woeful. Dani Ric needs binned and Lawson put in the car too.

 

[gpaevo]

Vettal was on sky news the other day talking about having been in numerous talks with Toto about driving for Merc.

Imo Vettal would be perfect for FIA Presidents job.

 

[cauld1]

I agree, Vettel would be very good as FIA president.

The issue is that Vettel would be competent though. Going by the current egotistical moron in charge, competent is not the direction the FIA want to go in.

So are the FIA just officially anti Hamilton now?

Eh?

 

[svensktoppen]

What have they done now?

 

[pablo]

Lando gets pole for sprint but lap deleted for exceeding track limits. Hamilton then gets pole. Then they give it back to Lando again a few mins later.

To be fair his pole lap was the one after the limits but rules say that gets deleted too if it was exceeded at last corner (unfair advantage into next lap).

 

[sam_9n]

It was already deemed for him to have not gained an advantage from the off. Sky sports went through it and his delta down the pit straight was slower than the previous lap when he didn’t exceed track limits

 

[pablo]

So why delete it then reinstate it?

F1 is a total shambles

 

[svensktoppen]

Who cares, the season is already well over. Max' RB just went from 4th to 14s ahead in less than ten laps, without even trying Before taking pole for the main race by nearly 0.4s.

Is anyone still watching any of it? I just read the headlines after now, and it's been very quiet here too the last couple of races.

 

[RoniN]

Life long fan of F1.
Last year I just watched the highlights.
This year I haven't bothered watching any of it !!

Cheers

Nope

 

[big_pete]

I’m still watching all the races and qualis but it’s a tough season to be a fan that’s for sure

 

[carmad.]

i am a big red bull fan but even i find max hard to swallow

they should just give him the drivers trophy / cheque and tell him to foff

 

[Crow555]

Only watched it this morning because I woke up early and couldn't sleep. Predictable enough result. Also Stroll once again not covering himself in glory.
