A couple of interesting thoughts.

A. Like you said. Max doesnt seem to handle not having the best car by far very well. Really a bad look for him. He is starting to pull a Leclerc quite often. over driving & making mistakes.

B. McClaren. With all the positives their car is doing right now. I know they made the agreement to swap places but they gave up points to get closer to Max for the actual Championship. Was wondering if they werent gonna just let Norris win it. If they lose the Championship by a handful of points, we will have to revisit this weekend. But also if Norris can get close enough in points that could pressure Max into over trying some more. But without these points. That pressure gets delayed for that much longer. I think the Dickhead move for the Championship would have been let Norris win it. I think the staying all on the same page move was the one they picked. Ensuring they dont turn into the Ferrari fiasco. I really thought the decision making could have went either way during the race.

C. Hamilton wasnt letting Max, just do what he wants today. Kinda refreshing to see. Glad to see he didnt get damaged or taken out.

When Max went all airborne IndyCar, I laughed a little bit.

When the field gets close at the end of regulations the racing gets interesting.

Well, let's just say that Verstappen has gone from a whiny little bitch, to a big-ass whiny, schoolgirl, bitch!!

Russell gets disqualified giving the win to Hamilton.

Congrats @Hank Kingsley & other Hamilton fans.

Yup, that really breaks me up...

LEwis deserved the win anyway, he pitted when told to and owned the whole race until Russell went rogue.

Well I guess Williams was tired of the slowest driver destroying equipment.
Sargeant got replaced early.

The bottom has fallen out of Red Bull. And if McLaren could ever learn how to figure out how to run a race they might not lose for a while.

But great race from Ferrari at Imola.

Yep, Red Bull may be in the same place as Mercedes was a couple of years ago. Ferrari is slowly continuing to ascend as is McClaren.

Max supposedly desperately wants out. MB seems to be the place and would likely put Georgie Porgie in jeopardy with wunderkind Antonelli now on board.

So Newey to Aston? MB wants a dispirited Max but Aston smells like a player in the Max sweepstakes.

Crazy times.

Goober Verstappen wins his Fourth title in Las Vegas. Russell takes the race and Hamilton finishes in Second as he heads to Ferrari for 2025.

Congrats to Sainz for getting on podium & beating his teammate even though it seems Ferrari was bound & determined to get LeClerc ahead of him.

Here are all the changes in Drivers and Teams in 2025. Hamilton to Ferrari is the most covered but Haas is making major changes. I guess he is tired of racing in the tail of the pack nearly every race on the schedule.

to bad Haas already filled their seats.
I wish the american team would do better.
Checo from my understanding has sponsorship that comes with him.
Could have been useful for a money strapped team like Haas.

Agreed, Schmoopy. I guess maybe Andretti will help out Hass since F-1 has essentially black-balled Andretti from F-1 perhaps permanently. Who knows. Andretti could bring alot of cash to Haas' team but we shall see. Right now, all of it is speculation.
