Sainz is having the season of his life when he needs it most.
Danny Ric is having the worst season of his life when he doesn't need it the most. Alonso cannot retire from F1, idk what I would do with myself

Although they can’t really touch Max, it’s good that Ferrari seems to have gotten on top of their tire deg issues from previous seasons. I think some of their previous seasons bad strategy calls were somewhat forced by their tire issues. Although Leclerc couldn’t hold off Carlos on his much fresher tires at the end, the strategy did get him up from 8th to 4th. Both Ferraris seemed quite happy on the mediums.
Have to wonder how race tire strategies would have worked out if FP2 hadn’t been wet, since no one burned through any dry tires. Think China is make or break for Danny Ric. If he does OK, he’ll get a bit of a reprieve, but if he wrecks, or gets handily beaten by Yuki, he’ll be out for Miami. |

There was some good overtaking, owing in great part to the variety of tire / pit strategies that came into play after the red flag, but at the same time, it wasn't exactly a nail biter either. |

I am trying to figure out where Sainz is going to end up.
Ricardo will probably get booted, and I doubt Sainz will go there. Mercedes does not have a good enough car for him. Any ideas? I dont see Stroll getting booted, but I could be wrong |

Mercedes does not have a good enough car for him. Any ideas? I don't see Stroll getting booted, but I could be wrong View Quote My guess is Aston Martin. Their cars seem to have it but the drivers don't. The Mercedes cars are a weak point. RB is looking for a new driver to go with Yuki because they will be firing REC after the next race. I wouldn't be shocked if Haas threw their hat in the ring. They do use Ferrari power so it isn't out of the question. They could push out one of the other guys for a big name driver who has wins. Hell, dump them both. Put Sainz and Bearman in them and go for it. SO much of F1 success is the CAR. No matter what I doubt he will be as successful when he moves, at first. |

As far as where would he go? All bets are off for the new 2026 formula. That will change the pecking order. It will go back to a PU formula like 2014. Could be Honda, Mercedes, Ferrari, or Red Bull…..but the odds are high he will be ending the 2025 season as a 28 year old 5 time champion with every option available. |

Just looked at the constructor standings. It has got to bother Toto that an engine customer has doubled them up so far.

Here's what I'd like to see happen with drivers/teams:
VCARB: I hate to say it but RIC out and Lawson takes his seat. RIC becomes an F1 commentator/personality because he's obviously a fan favorite. Unfortunately, he's a better TV personality than a driver at this point. Yuki stays. HAAS: Bearman gets a seat, replacing Hulkenberg. KMag gets a 1-year extension. Williams: Gets their shit together somehow. Sargeant gone, Schumacher takes his place. Albon is there through '25. SauberStakeKick: Zhou gone, Gasly gets his seat. Bottas stays another year. Their pit crew gets their shit together. This would break up the fight between Gasly and Ocon that often ends in a crash. Alpine: Stops sucking ass. Ocon gets a 1-year extension and Gasly is replaced by Doohan. I can't imagine another driver wants to go to that team with the current shit show. Mercedes: Sainz to Mercedes and he's quicker than Hamilton in the Ferrari because it would be glorious. Aston Martin: Lance fucks off to give handjobs to his tennis coach and Drugovich takes his place. Alonso gets an extension. McLaren: No change. RBR: Perez remains consistent this season and keeps his seat. When he's performing well, I can't imagine a better #2 driver. |

Oh and your AM comment KMag seems like the better mentor for a young driver. Hulkenberg is a dickhead. Hulk is also 5 years older and has never even made a podium finish. At least Magnussen has one of those. Realistically, I'd be fine with both old losing HAAS drivers going away and being replaced by rookies but it's rare for a team to do that and not keep one vet in a car. It would be interesting hearing Pietro Fittipaldi and Mick Schumacher's names being called out during the same race though. Nostalgia boner. My list already has 5 rookies starting next year (I know Mick is technically not a rookie, but still) and that would be craziness. Bearman and Lawson are technically not rookies either, but basically they still are. They didn't conduct themselves like rookies and showed they're as good as any of the mid to backfield drivers. |
