Some people think Aston Martin fell back because they were using an illegal wing and had to stop using it. I tend to believe that and think they will be 5th or 6th best team this year. He should leave if given the chance.

Carlos to Audi is confirmed then too right?


Isn't that not until 2026? Would suck to have to drive for Kick/Stake/blah blah blah in 2025.

One year deal with RBR could make a lot of sense for both sides. Alonso would be a lot more fun though.

yeah he'd have to suffer through stake for a year. then it's a gamble if audi got the engine right for 2026.

Damn, would rather see him in RBR

But def makes sense, Alonso has been hanging with GR a tone lately.

Alonso vs George could make for some really fun in-team battles.

I will watch the celebrity pre race stuff and then skip the 2 hours of Max leading from start to finish with zero lead changes.

That’s got to mean Lewis has no faith in this year’s car right?

I would think he's taking a longer view and for some reason has more faith in Ferrari for the 2026 car.

We could have even more shake-up. I wonder if Stroll makes it past this season.

I just assumed that he would retire when Honda came on board, so he'll stick around for 2024-2025. Yes, waste of a seat.

If true, sucks for Sainz. We haven’t even had 2024 testing and he’s already a lame duck. Arguably the most under appreciated driver on the grid.

The only non-Red Bull driver to win a race last year.

Maybe he has a bad attitude. Maybe he smells. Maybe his dad is a PITA.

This has to be one of the biggest moves in F1 history. This is going to cause a seismic shift in the drivers market with all the seats coming open.

Guess this year's Merc is going to be a shitbox.

Do guys typically make a commitment to change team a year in advance? Seems strange and would never happen in other sports.
