Craziness seems to be imbedded in the Ferrari's Maybe Hamilton's presence will change some of that?

Looks like Lawson already lost his ride.

McLaren-Mercedes is continuing to do well and Whiny Verstappen has fallen to Third. Hamilton and LeClerc are hangin' in there and Russell and Antonelli are doing solid performances to bring Mercedes back into the hunt. Shoot, even Haas-Ferrari is posting points-paying finishes as Ocon took home an 8th place finish in the Bahrain race in this just completed weekend race.

Piastri is much stronger mentally than Norris. Norris is his own worst enemy.

Piastri is def the more head-strong of the two, Hank!

I expect something from Ferrari this weekend.

And I read something from Ralph Schumacher that said, don’t discount Verstappen leaving Red Bull to go to Alpine. Alpine is going to Mercedes power next year. And Labia Flavitore loves phenoms.

Verstappen & Russell beginning a true feud?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

It all started last year I think when Russell felt Max did something stupid while he was trying to run a hot lap and Max was in the way. Words were spoken. Max said he lost all respect for him as he was an idiot etc. etc. etc. etc. colour is required.

Russell is a bit of a nasally prissy Brit.

And Verstappen is a stiff Dutch bastard.

I do think that Hamilton for whatever reason has been the only driver to stand up to Max. I dont know if Max has got some clout behind the scenes or not, but he does seem like a bully nowadays.

So after Qualifying. Do I dare hope Williams & Sainz has a good points day tomorrow? Or will I be left sad

Who was left without a seat in Formula 1? Where will they continue their careers in 2025?

What happened to the Formula 1 drivers who were let go in 2024? Logan Sargeant became the FIRST to lose his seat at Williams, but just a few months later, he...

Piastri takes the SAGP win and he takes over the points lead by 10 over Norris. The little whiny bitch Verstappen falls to 3rd. Russell is 4th and Hamilton remains in 7th spot. Ocon with Haas-Ferrari remains in 8th position which is a good thing.

Well Williams got on the board today. Sainz got 8th which is about the best I suspect that Williams can honestly expect without the major teams not taking themselves out. Helped his teammate maintain 9th.
Is this just a one off, or can Williams start expecting to squeeze out a couple points here & there going forward?

I don't know if Williams is on the rise this year or just a "maintainer" of what they developed over the years. Shoot, Alpine is leaving Renault and going with Mercedes Power next year, or so is the rumors. I wonder what Williams is planning for the future, if anything?
