Maybe they’ll (eventually) move into Miami.

That would be more interesting.

Also a proposal to trial a change to qualifying next season. Only going to happen at a few races.

Q1 - Hards
Q2 - Mediums
Q3 - Softs.

I think they already declined. I remember hearing that Stroll and Aston were interested. I also heard that they were going into Red Bull engines.

Porsche, Audi will join Formula One, Volkswagen CEO says


Was coming to post that I was seeing speculation it was happening...

So Audi in with McClaren and Porsche in with RB? Is that was I'm reading?

So just contributing to existing team, not forming own team/s?

I assumed Stroll was behind the headlines about selling Aston to VW.

The Bahrain sovereign wealth fund is McLaren’s biggest shareholder. IIRC it’s around 60% of the shares or so.

Good chance they would sell. The car side loses money. So to get out from under that side of the company, the Bahrainis could be motivated to give up the racing side for the right price.

The fake water is irrationally pissing me off the more and more I see it.

That tweet is hilarious though.

If Michael has a sentient thought left it likely is being glad that the meme world didn't exist in 2005.

So remaining with 10 teams and 20 cars on the track then.

Who, outside of Haas would be up for sale? And how does that play into Andretti trying to get involved too?

Seems like lots of potential shakeup coming in next 2 years.
