Oh come on, again? Howwwww?

Everything I'm reading about this Helmut Marko news tells me he just assumed with Horner gone he could go I Can Do What I Like expecting Meckies to be as meek as he looks

Meanwhile Meckies and Co. are just like 'thanks for the own goal bro, we thought that would be more difficult'

Use chat gpt and sora2 but if you want to be REALLY successful here's my $999 course where I share my sekrits

Just a reminder: In his worst season, Lewis Hamilton still gave Ferrari their only #F1 victory of 2025. #AbuDhabiGP

One driver who won the most grands prix, another who led the championship for the majority of the season, and a guy who made a great, steady comeback to win the title even when the team let him down a couple of times in the closing rounds. One of the great seasons of Formula 1.

You're giving me video ideas if I'm being honest. You want credit for that? 😅

I didn't think anyone could have me beat on the Lewis copium this year but these last few races JPM has really been giving me a run for my money 😅

Yes, the guy who bought it off the wreckers understands now why it was there in the first place

Small town NZ where you just randomly run into the car your mum drove for half your life before sending it to the wreckers with deep reluctance 😅

This is a beautiful read. And a really insightful question from EB in my opinion. With all the usual patter that gets rolled out at press calls it’s refreshing to hear a driver promoted to speak from the heart 🩵

FYI, yes I heard that in the Fran Fine voice 😂

Nah man, you're doing fine. Distinguished. Most of my mates had greying beard in their early thirties (except Biz, still not a grey anywhere on his head. bitch 😂)

See, I'm of the opinion that I look pretty good for someone wh's forty in a couple of months. Biz, however, still gets mistaken for a dude in his 20s. Bitch.

It's the final three burning questions for the year! Remember 2010? And 2007? The last couple of times we had a three way fight into the last GP? Surely we won't see a repeat. SURELY.

One of my friends turned 48 today and honestly I'm not sure if it's just a function of getting older but I look at her and the concept of 'Aimee' and '48' do not go together at all. Like what do you mean? You're totally still thirty. We both are... Right?

Right?

However, a judge in the French courts has ruled that irregularities raised should be further examined and a hearing has been scheduled for 16th February 2026. #F1

The FIA presidental election is set to go ahead next week (12th December) after an injunction to stop them was not granted. This follows a legal challenge from prospective candidate Laura Villars launched in October.

This means Mohammed Ben Sulyem will be re-elected as FIA President unopposed. #F1

We never got to see what he could achieve in the Red Bull, sure, but I think overall he would have been a solid choice from a car preference standpoint — more in line with Max and thus more useful overall from a development perspective. Yeah, he would have been a seatwarmer, but one with a purpose

and b) then only really having one year broken up into 1/2 seasons in a car that started out pretty terrible and was then developed to a point — predominantly with HIS input — to one that could consistently get into the top 10 (while being a mentor to Yuki along the way)

Sure, Daniel didn't appear to get on with the current generation of car, however that impression is significantly influenced by a) the McLaren having strange brake characteristics that didn't suit his preferred cornering style and confidence he could lean on them when overtaking

I still think that he was the only correct choice for the second seat next to Max last year/this year, and the moment they decided to do what they did to him last year in Singapore, they should have just stuck with Checo for the 26 car dev input. I find what they're doing incredibly shortsighted

I was only winding back the clock as far as Max's being the last internal promotion that stuck, or I would have ended up with a thread as long as my arm 🫠

WRT DR, while I think yeah maybe leaving Red Bull was a mistake driven by ego (and bad advice), I think the biggest one was leaving Renault

They're only going to be satisfied when they have the Next Generational Talent to replace the Current Generational Talent when he decides to retire and go racing those GT cars part time. How many young drivers need to be chewed up and spat out in a few months before they find another unicorn?

Dont get me wrong, I'm a huge Max fan. But this is part of my point

The cycle is: Junior shows promise in different team in different car with diferent more benign characteristics, gets promoted, fails to live up to Acknowledged Generational Talent Max Verstappen, gets put out to pasture or demoted

No, Formula 1 isn't a finishing school, but RB/AT/TR/ kind of IS and it hasn't succeeded in its original purpose for going on ten years. Gasly, Albon, and Sainz eventually made their way to other teams but the last internal promotion success story was Max Verstappen back in 2016

The nearer we get to the end of Max's current contract the clearer it becomes that Red Bull is scrambling around trying to find a potential homegrown replacement, and just tossing anyone aside who doesnt hit the ground running, despite not TRULY preparing these guys for how tough that challenge is

Just like with Yuki Tsunoda earlier this year, I have severe reservations about Isack Hadjar's promotion to Red Bull. Has he done a good enough job to deserve it? Yes. Do i think RB has prepared him to be compared to Max in his second season? Absolutely not. Please dont cut this kids career short.

Genuine question - Are there any differences in the F1 broadcasts beyond the commentary & graphics. or is what is shown on screen 100% global broadcast from 5 min warning all the way to post-podium? Because Kimi's moment was very clearly shown on F1TV in between interviews and cooldown room
