2025 Formula 1 Season Paddock

My buddy the non racing fan… Loved it

 

I'm predicting Top Gun open scene style photography and Top Gun type story line. I won't be disappointed.

 

Yea. I might still wait till it’s out on streaming to watch

 

I'm hearing they're trying to get it out of the theatre quickly for that purpose. I have a high end cinema within 5 minutes of my house so I may just go there.

 

Yea the high end cinema from me is like 45 minutes away in rocklin

 

damn 90 minutes to see a movie is a lot of lost jerkin off time hahaha

 

Tough sprint qualification for Merc and Ferrari, but damn, nearly half a second clear for Oscar.

F1 needs more tracks like Spa, long, fast, flowing with plenty of elevation change.

 

Couldn't agree more. It's really a shame that it's going into a rotation instead of every year. Of all circuits to remove from the calendar...

 

Well....Max definitely didn't look like he was tanking his contract.....

 

Yeah. That guy it’s not in his blood imho. As much as I call him an ass he’s 200% competition

 

But is George tanking to remove Max's out clause?

Or is the Merc that dreadful?

Toto would have been Horner'd long ago, low rake, zero pods, stake engine and suspension layout, losing to a customer team.... If he didn't have equity in the team. His stewardship of Merc in this generation of car has been a dreadful fall from grace.

 

In all honesty, it was only a sprint race. Most teams out of contention for either championship, mainly use it for more testing for tomorrow's race. Look at Gasly and Alpine, he went out to start the race somewhere like lap 7.

 

Gasly did not start due to an oil leak, otherwise he would have started from eighth and been in the mix for points. Started two laps down. Remember that there is only one practice session on a sprint weekend so track time is at a premium. Contrast with Merc who tanked in sprint qualifying. Then was no better in race qualifying. Embarrassing for Merc.

 

So what is Hamilton’s excuse?

 

Decent weekend for Max, but I think he really needed a podium today. McLaren is just too damn consistent right now for Max to get close. I like it, b/c it does keep the season interesting. But Max has to get a run of wins, I just am skeptical it can be done.

 

Exciting passing

 

Got a good laugh from Rosberg's Jos interview, finally found a good link: https://youtube.com/shorts/VjYw4DRaPNU

 

If I was interviewing him........this would be my first question
