Formula One- 2025

[Patman]

Lawson out already

Red Bull is seriously the most dysfunctional team. They have gotten rid of so many drivers too quickly and then meanwhile they hung onto Checo far past his expiration date What will they do when Yuki has just as much trouble getting that second car out of Q1 as everyone else has in the past three years?? Their plan to design the car around their number one driver is what is going to keep them from winning the constructors championship this year again.

Exactly, they should have kept Alex Albon

It’s Dannytime!

The best thing that could happen to F1 would be to get rid of Lance Stroll!

What's the over/under on how many races it takes RB to replace Lawson?

2,bloody races!

Outlier here, only interested in F3, and only because Nikola Tsolov is in it (and it's 'bout time he streaks out of his bad luck). He's a friend's kid and named after me. So there.

It is starting to look like Tsunoda would have been a better fit but his association with Honda probably hurt him

As of this past weekend, Tsunoda is terrible. He's always been a lousy driver and an immature hothead. I can't believe RB hired him.

I agree. The car is the problem. However, the biggest problem with Checo was that he would occasionally make horrible decisions (ex, 2024 Monaco) which would either wreck the car or cost too many positions. This season Max is saying the car isn't good enough.

So are the cars different this year? RB has been terrible until this Saudi race? No speed, handling or braking and bad pit stops. I really enjoyed watching that Saudi race on that track. It's fast and takes real skill. Great viewing from the driver's helmet.
Another question. If a car has its nose first to a corner, then can he legally run the other car off the road? That's what happened in the first turn with Piastri and Max. Piastri's car was half or more off the track running Max off completely. Max did get a slow start.

His daddy owns the team so he can be a driver and he can date beautiful young women.

He’s never been really competitive in F1

Exactly, that’s the only reason he has a ride. He wouldn’t make a decent F3 driver.

They blew it not signing Sainz.

Sainz settled too soon frankly

And Hamilton was already done so Ferrari didn’t win either

... Nikola Tsolov ...

First win for the season, first win, a sprint race one but still a win, la la la

Sorry. Carry on

As I understand it you can't dive bomb the apex in order to claim you're ahead where the dive bomb takes you off the track. . On board telemetry showed that Max had let off the accelerator just past the APEX so he was never going to make the corner while staying on the track. Photos show both PIA and Max were essentially wheel to wheel but PIA had the corner.
