Just noticed after the next two races there's a 4 week break going into a triple header. Then another 3 week break before the final triple header. Like having 2 more summer breaks but without the shutdowns, wonder what that could do for the development race.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
0% chance of lance getting the boot. The whole operation is built around making him a WDC
Max in 2027 who knows? Think he will stay with RedBull at least till 2026 seasonnis underway. We won't know the pecking order of 2026 cars till they hit the track.
Probably depends more on the results of the next few races rather than predicting what it could do all the way til the end of the season. If McLaren gains enough on Max to put the WDC in contention it ll likely heat up - but if RB controls the damage enough or even gains, then McLaren (and other teams) are probably better off putting their dollars towards next season instead.
Very little to be honest, we're now in the flyaway races till the end of the season and most teams will have switched to focusing fully on the 2025 car. Might see the odd one or two circuit specific changes, but I don't think we'll see anything that will change the current order.
red bull will be doing their best to cram as much cheating into those 7 weeks as possible.
Youre nothing if not predictable and consistent. Gotta hand you that.
like horner slacking the intern a picture of his cock.
Yes I'm sure you're very much alike
Those long breaks will be tough, no f1 to counter United.

In October 2012, the world's largest KFC opened in Baku. The 1,600-square-meter outlet, with a seating capacity of 300, is housed in the city's Sabunçu rail station built in 1926.
i heard that’s where jos verstappen gets all the grease he uses to slick back his hair.In October 2012, the world's largest KFC opened in Baku. The 1,600-square-meter outlet, with a seating capacity of 300, is housed in the city's Sabunçu rail station built in 1926.
Not good for Russell after FP1 needs an engine change
Leclerc saying his car is bent after a crash in FP1 , he basically refused to drive the car.

WOW turn 8 is so tight
I'm starting to think Jos slapped you and Horner turned down your advances.
The run off areas are getting plenty of use in FP2
Russell got out with a new engine , but had to box due to a prolem said engine.
Apparently Russell’s car had its oil tested after FP1 they found bits of metal in the oil.
all they had to do was respond to the email saying “whilst we appreciate how sick that burnout in that tesco’s car park was, we’re not currently looking at expanding our driver line up.” they think they’re too big for the fans.
that’s nothing. if they checked russell’s oil they’d also find bits of metal.
Second red flag in FP3 Bearman hit the wall
Perez is looking good in FP, Perez is good here has a great record.
Russell is have mare this weekend so far
Really? He was the fastest on the long runs yesterday in FP2
Fantasy is again a difficult one
I have counted Max out of pole, but Perez in in mix.
Russell throwing in that P1 in FP1 has thrown me.
Both Ferrari and McLaren look good, Lewis looked a bit off pace.

Helmut Marko issues Max Verstappen warning over joining Adrian Newey at Aston Martin:
- Helmut Marko has warned that Red Bull could lose Max Verstappen to Aston Martin following Adrian Newey's move, which could create an "upward trend" for the team. Marko acknowledged the possibility of Verstappen leaving but also had a warning for the driver.
- Newey, Red Bull's long-time design guru, will join Aston Martin in March 2025 as Managing Technical Partner and shareholder. His role will be to oversee the design of Aston Martin's 2026 car, but his influence may extend to the 2025 car as well.
- Aston Martin beat Ferrari, Alpine, Mercedes, and Williams to secure Newey’s services, offering him “total control and responsibility,” similar to that of a team principal. Mike Krack, Aston Martin’s team boss, has stated that "the door for Max Verstappen is always open."
- Helmut Marko commented:
"Max drives where he can win. Aston Martin has the most modern factory, the wind tunnel will be operational next year and Honda engines will be added to that. Everything fits."
- Marko also noted Newey’s influence on past teams:
"Wherever Newey has gone, there has been an upward trend. I don’t know why it should be any different at Aston Martin."
- Marko acknowledged that Newey’s impact might take time:
"Adrian Newey cannot start until March 1, 2025, which is already relatively late. The whole team at Aston Martin certainly needs to get used to each other first."
- Marko stressed the importance of Red Bull continuing to provide Verstappen with a championship-winning car:
"He knows that he can win titles with us too if we can get through this World Championship now. That is also an absolute must."
- Verstappen addressed the speculation in Baku, stating his focus remains on Red Bull:
"I have other worries at the moment, that I’m paying a lot of attention to, that I’m working on. So that is something maybe for the future that I think about but not now.
