random, but Alfa Romeo joining Haas next year. - the current alfa romeo team (sauber) will be called sauber again instead of alfa romeo - haas will be called alfa romeo or alfa romeo haas starting next year - sauber will be called audi in 2026 once the audi engine is in the car

So is Haas leaving Ferrari? Trying to dechiper this outcome

Flipped over to the Indy 500 and I don’t know if I’m alone in my thinking, but the cars are fricking atrocious compared to Formula 1.

The windshields are hideous looking.

The speedway packages always look meh.


500 miles of right foot to the floor. Testament to those engines to just sit on the redline for 5 hours.

Testament to their training so their right foot doesn't cramp the frick up.

My six year old watches F1 with me every weekend. 10 laps in to Indy she said "this race just isn't as exciting as the other one"

I know it’s beating a dead horse but just making Monaco a mandatory 2 stopper would make it so much for interesting. Hell even do mandatory 3 stops

10 laps in and you've already had two commercial breaks. I like Indy, but I can't do ovals unless it's in person.

You got to be a little crazy to race in the Indy 500. Only a matter of time you can race it and not have a major crash on the wall

Petition to mandate rain starting around lap 45 every year during the Monaco Grand Prix!!

Havent watched replay but what confused me about Alonso not going to inters,

it was a tough call. It was sprinkling in a couple of corners but no one knew how bad it would get. But Alo was in hards and should have made max stop first. But Lewis was flying on new tires so you don't want to give up too much and get undercut. Aston made the wrong decision as it turns out but it's not Ferrari level stupidity. He still finished second which is probably where he would have either way
