also kinda bittersweet final race (if that was it) for Perez, Magnussen, Bottas and Colapinto.

at least Hamilton ended up in a high for McLaren and same for Sainz for Ferrari.

Just to say also many thanks to everyone who has contributed throughout the season it is very much appreciated, :)

In today's interview with the BBC, Alonso talked, probably for the first time in definitive terms, about continuing in F1 after 2026 if he feels fast enough. Knowing Fernando he would probably love to continue in 2027 if Aston-Honda is a fast package.

That absolute clown running the FIA has essentially become a dictator today. FIA was already a shitshow so brace yourself for a whole new level from next year.

The whole Red Bull Team were in Milton Keynes the other day (I saw lots of them walking around the nearby lake at lunch). Seemed to be in a celebratory mood but yeah why are we still waiting on Perez being dropped?

 

Every day that passes makes me think it won't happen. Stroll cost Aston Martin constructors positions before and Red Bull are no different I guess

Multiple reports coming in that Lawson is about to be confirmed as at Red Bull next year over Perez

Poor Yuki :*)

 

Red Bull and Mercedes both with drivers yet to experience a full season in their seats next year then!

It's official - Perez out as he makes statement. Not word on his replacement yet or where his future lies,

 

Red Bull yet to announce anything

Edited December 18, 2024Dec 18 by Severin

yay

 

Lawson confirmed

 

not so yay

I want the best for Lawson but there’s always a fear he’ll just get dumped if he’s no closer to Max

Screams of Gasly and Albon to me i.e. promoted too early but let's see

Red Bull and Perez have in effect both screwed themselves over by leaving them with no other good options. Hard to imagine Lawson doing much there, but I don't see any of their other options doing much either.

Tsunoda deserves better car. :(

What did you get for Christmas, Liam?

 

'Six months in a Red Bull...'

so whos replacing Lawson then?

Isack Hadjar most likely.

thats what i thought that it would be Hadjar but nothing confirmed as far as i can see

Hadjar gave some very cryptic replies in a press conference in Qatar I think it was.

 

Pretty much gave the game away.

So Colapinto will likely have to wait for 2026
