Even with that, surely Red Bull/Christian won’t justify his seat for much longer if he struggles to get in the points

Plus it's not like Red Bull need the money, they're not Haas.

All Grand Prixs in Truss's time as Prime Minister were won by the same team (Red Bull). That is very unlikely to be repeated.

Formula 1 has announced the six grands prix which will host events in the sprint format in 2025.

 

The races, which feature a shorter race on the Saturday before the main event on the Sunday, start with the second grand prix of the season in China on 21-23 March.

 

The others are Miami on 2-4 May, Belgium on 25-27 July, the US Grand Prix in Austin on 17-19 October, Brazil on 7-9 November and the penultimate race in Qatar on 28-30 November.

Poor choices for next season. Should have mixed it up a bit.

 

What’s a sprint race in Spa? Like 3 laps?!

If Spa has to hold sprints just to stay on the calendar, I can live with that.

Haas have announced the Kevin Magnussen will not be their driver for next year. However, they are yet to say who will partner Oliver Bearman, with much speculation still around several drivers on the current grid.

It's almost 100% gonna be Ocon, was pretty much leaked last month when Alpine gave him the boot.

Bearman and Ocon would be an interesting pairing. Will also be intriguing to see if Haas can continue their upward trajectory (still hoping for that Hulkenberg podium before he heads to Audi)

poor Kevin :o said no one ever :P

Whilst it seems likely to be Ocon, I think that would be a terrible choice. He's not a team player and is unlikely to be a positive mentor for Bearman unless being dropped by Alpine has re-written his personality. He's also not obviously any better than other options like Bottas.

I think he's much better than Bottas who is completely washed now it seems. Though I'm sure Ocon was definitely not their first choice.

Bottas, he'd probably move to IndyCar.

Well he's already got the look nailed :lol:

Norris’ third pole. Well done, cause that was a mighty lap.

Good to see Piastri set a very respectable time as well.

the McLarens are really flying

 

you really got to feel a bit sorry bout Perez

We'll see how McLaren conspire to throw away another victory today then.

Ah my sweet Hungarian GP. Can it really be three years since you gave us this?
