Oscar Piastri: I think so. There's a lot of competition today, but I still think we have a good chance (for pole)

Exciting, but very busy times ahead in the world of Formula One, as teams are now allowed to begin work on their 2026 cars.

But, for me, a question would be, are some teams going to run a baseline from season start to end to Max time on 2026, or risk it and develop both at the same time.

Thank you to all who have been along for the ride in 2024.

It has truly been a year to forget for various reasons, but here's to 2025.

Let's hope that 2025 brings happiness, good health, and prosperity to everyone. But, most importantly, more LOVE than WAR!

Michael Schumacher Tribute - When Words Are Not Enough

29 December 2013.... it's been 11 long years, and still, you remain in our prayers.

You told us: "I've always believed that you should never, ever give up, and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance."

So, please keep fighting Michael!

2024 survived up some fantastic moments, Charles Leclerc winning in Monaco, Oscar Piastri's first win, Max Verstappen's drive in Sao Paulo, McLaren winning the Constructors...

BUT what's your highlight of the season?
