    Wouldn't count on it. I'd bet most of the other teams are looking to the 2025 technical changes and developing for then.

    Seriously you can admit not all is well with F1.

    Stale? A bit.

    Boring? Yes absolutely there was way way too much boring race time this year. The few flashes of goodness, simply do NOT overcome just too much stay in place racing.

    Predictable? Yes, again all for Max, but yes, he gets lead, race over. Sure some folks get shivers over a 12 v 13th place...........most don't. Battle for the lead is 95% of what makes any racing enjoyable.

    Too many rules, too much tire BS. Enough said.

    Seemed more competitive. I've watched what was shown, since 1974. The MB years did start more boring times.............

    The worst thing about F1 is the stupid articles and forum posts that are written between seasons. :)

    I liked this season… I pretty much ignored what was happening in P1 and was concentrating on my team and driver, Lando.

    Was a roller coaster of a season right up to the last race where it was a 4 way fight for P4.

    I can’t wait for next year, McLaren should be firing on all cylinders!

    Their second half (with a few exceptions) was incredible. Totally made up for regular Sunday disappointment in the first half. Biggest turnaround for a team over one season in a long while.

    Edit: I'm also a McLaren/Lando fan so ending '23 on the trajectory it did is definitely promising

    Peter Windsor speculates that the Toto/Susie pillow talk scandal originated with Bernie. Funny because I've been thinking lately that Toto is the new Bernie with his tentacles deep into everything F1 from team owner/principle, driver agent/manager and now F1 Academy ...

    and while speculating ... reunite Sainz and Max in Red Bull. Carlos will be stronger than Checo in support of Max but still not quite good enough to regularly beat Max.

    I think there should be a mandatory car swap halfway through the season. The dominate five teams swap with the bottom half of the grid and we get some good mixed up racing.

    How about just running reverse grid at a random set of races
