Qualifying on Friday sets the grid and Sunday grid.

Sprint qualifying on Saturday for Sprint race that follows


I don't like how Friday's qualifying is set for Sunday. I would much rather have a Saturday sprint race for Sunday qualifying.

Or, now just hear me out on this, just leave the shite as it is, it's perfectly fine now without interjecting these stupid random sprint weekends into the calendar. They're not needed, and dumb.

As for AlphaTauri, I'd rather see Liam Lawson. There are just not enough seats to go around, they have to keep these types of seats open to new talent.


Yeah, Danny had his chance. Let's get some young blood in there and see what they can do.

What is the reason for the open AT seat talk? Is it Sergio out at RB and Yuki moved up to RB? Or is it Debris out? I'm not the biggest De Vries fan, but it's his first real year in the pros and he's driving a pretty shitty car. I'm not going to judge him too harshly just yet.

Speculation that de vries will be out because Horner doesn’t like him in that seat.

The Danny ricc talk is likely instagram engagement bait, but I felt it was worth comment

There's a lot of buzz around Alex Palou getting an F1 seat next year with the Indycar season he's having. Supposedly he has until the end of July to sign with an F1 team. If not he'll be locked into driving for the Mclaren Indycar team next year.

He's getting destroyed by his teammate that no one considers a top driver.

I don't think it's the end of the world, but it is a gimmick, and I don't think it's good for the sport.

That would make three Spanish drivers on the grid, assuming Sainz and Alonso are driving next season.

Where would Palou end up? I don't see McLaren booting Piastri yet. Clearly DeVries is in trouble. I'm not sure HAAS will make a move either (probably can't afford it).

I think Colton Herta has a bright future. Would love to see another American on the grid. I bet he could do well in Sargeant's Williams with the upgrades.

Please don’t steal Herta. You guys can take Palou.

I could see AlphaTauri booting both their drivers. Seems like AlfaRomeo could have a spot open as well.

Palou move to F1, like any Indy driver move to F1, probably just a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

I am no advocating for any move in particular.

If you couldn't pull for us when fighting for P17 then don't jump on the bandwagon when we're fighting for P12!


Hopefully these upgrades are a big step up.

BREAKING: AlphaTauri will no longer go by the name AlphaTauri in Formula 1 from 2024 onwards

Helmut Marko on the name change:

"The course is clear: Follow Red Bull Racing as far as the regulations allow. Designing your own is not the way.

There will be new sponsors and a new name."

What the team will be called from next season onwards, Marko is not yet willing to reveal.
