Looking at that. Lewis is still driving next season.

2026 F1 season: Dates, teams and rule changes revealed

According to the article about Leclerc, he said that they want to strike back. Essentially. The question is if they will do that. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I guess the one thing in their favour is, it’ll be a level playing field as the new regs kick in. Hopefully no more of this bouncing effect and people complaining of sore backs.

That I did sympathise with Lewis as I’ve seen a Mercedes F1 car up close, as they had one on display at my local shopping centre. And that seat looked as hard as a rock. I think the one that was on show was Rosberg’s.

Let’s see. Seeing how fucked up Ferrari was this season I can’t imagine that he’s very excited

But Bearman might rather prefer to stay at Haas ahahaha :joy:

As long as he and the team haven’t forgotten. He’s got a grid penalty to serve at the 1st race.

I know it’s stupid, but that’s the FIA rules.

Just in the news over here..

Might be a good idea to call it a day then. Look at BE the previous owner of F1. When it was a sport and not a money grabbing spectacle it is now, he was in his 80’s as well.

I like Bernie Ecclestone very well. He has this natural blunt straight forwardness which I appreciate very much. :heart_eyes:

Lando Norris ‘sad’ Oscar Piastri will stay as his McLaren team-mate after title win

That’s what he thinks of his team mate.

thats a compliment , Lando knows just how good Oscar will be and knows that he won the title not on his successes but on Oscars failures ,

I think they need the best principal, to kick them into shape in readiness for next season and that’s Ron Dennis. And go back to their original livery of Red & White.

They won the constructors and the drivers title. I do not think they will change anything. Why should they?

you are aware that those were the colours of Marlboro?
Not a single chance that that will happen

Ron Dennis back?
So then Helmut Marko also has to step up as team principal? and Alain Prost?
This is a picture from 2021 when he sold the last McLaren shares
