Is Verstappen the GOAT? Four-time champ now among F1's greats Only five drivers before him have won four world championships, so with No. 4 now in hand, can Max Verstappen be considered one of F1's all-time greats?

Max Verstappen has won against an all time great (2021), with an unmatched car (2022 and 2023) and now with a car which was not the best for a significant chunk of the year (2024) - he's firmly in the F1 GOAT debate

The mechanics on the Sargeant/Colapinto side of the Williams garage deserve a long holiday by the beach at the end of the season

Colapinto crashes out of Q2! Tapped inside wall and broke the suspension but second hit with wall did big damage. Driver OK and out the car. Huge blow for Williams after the repair bill in Brazil.

Some reports this weekend claiming that Stefano Domenicali will leave F1 and head to MotoGP as CEO - am told that is not the case, with a senior F1 source describing it as "rubbish" #F1 #MotoGP

Am told there’s nothing to the rumour F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is set to leave leave for MotoGP

Hard to say. First I’m not sure about those rumours, haven’t heard anything about that. But dynamic would surely shift if that did happen, especially with Maffei stepping away from Liberty Media role. But there’s not been much suggestion Domenicali will be moving on that I’ve heard

You can definitely make the argument. Think there’s still a question-mark over Lando at the moment too though

Another name to keep an eye on in the next couple of years

I think McLaren should do it… Ferrari seem to be bracing themselves for a difficult race in Qatar. Yes to Haas as well. Have been consistently scoring points for a while
