Sainz killing it and Hamilton struggling makes me happy. I'd prefer for Sainz to get a shot at being the #1 on a team but it would be pretty cool to see how he could do in the Red Bull.
Again, Sainz to RB and when Max jumps with Newey at some point (maybe to AT or Max to Mercedes) then Sainz becomes the number 1.

I got a feeling that the guy that was arguing with me before the season that Sainz is an overrated driver hasn't shown up lately.

Ya baw had Sainz finishing #2 in the WDC.
I agree, it would be great if he could be a #1, but Sainz and Max on the same team would equal total domination, even moreso than what is going on curently.

I think the biggest surprise of the season for me is still just how bad Alpine is. Not sure I've seen someone take this much of a step backwards, they are awful.
They were racy last season and at the top of the midfield. Ocon would've easily beaten Stroll for 10th place had he not DNF'd six times.

As much as I'd love for their to be some more parody at the top, seeing Sainz being part of the domination would make me happy
I do get the feeling though that Ferrari might have something hidden up their sleeve for next year. Could be dead wrong but I feel like they must have had something good to lure Lewis away. Although as it stands, Ferrari looks in better shape than Merc, I don't feel like it's THAT much better of a situation to cause him to make a jump. Unless Lewis doesn't see Merc getting any better anytime soon, which very well could be the case. Even on Drive to Survive I got that feeling from him.

Pretty wild. You know it's bad when you're worse than Sauber even with Sauber taking lunch breaks during pit stops.

Yeah, they definitely had something good to lure Lewis away: $446,000,000 in the twilight of his career

The commentary post-race about Checo fearing losing his seat to Sainz, causing him to step up his game was interesting.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but seems like a real possibility.

Two weeks to China. Need news, gossip, any content...
Oh, I just discovered F1 photographer Kym Illman's YouTube channel. His Suzuka videos are particularly interesting because he's so complimentary of the event and the fans. This is the first time I've seen Oscar Piastri's girlfriend Lily. Wow, what a cutie. She doesn't have that overly-tanned supermodel girlfriend look. She's in the first video.
Is Japan the Cheapest & Best F1 Race?
Japanese F1 Fans Disappointed!

Is Daniel Ricciardo done in F1 after Suzuka crash?

Reigning F2 champion Theo Pourchaire has had a seat fitting for the McLaren IndyCar team for the #6 car, should David Malukas still be unavailable for the Long Beach race in a couple of weeks. Malukas had wrist/hand surgery Feb. 13 and apparently still isn't cleared to race. Callum Illot filled in for the first two events, but he has a WEC race the same weekend as Long Beach, so Pourchaire is the new backup.
racer.com/2024/04/08/f2-champion-pourchaire-on-standby-for-arrow-mclaren-at-long-beach/
Aside from his reserve role at Sauber, which will only get him an FP1 session, Pourchaire is racing Super Formula this year. They have only had one event so far, at Suzuka. I looked it up and Pourchaire came in last place among the finishers (there were 3 DNFs), and he finished behind a girl, Juju Noda. Juju is the daughter of ex-F1 driver Hideki Noda, and she was hyped when she was around ages 12-14 for driving F4 and F3 cars (she was too young to race, so she just tested). But she had really mediocre results in the W Series, which is really bad because even the three-time champion Jamie Chadwick is not really a competitive racer.

*Dunlop curve is where Sargeant went off in FP1. Note that there is a mandatory pit stop for everyone, so he was only delayed however long it takes to replace the front wing.

Iwasa finished as top rookie, having been the last to stop on lap 26, initially dropping to 10th before passing Makino around the outside at Spoon once his tyres were up to temperature.
Of the other newcomers, Iori Kimura was 12th for B-Max Racing behind a struggling Sho Tsuboi (TOM’S), Juju Noda (TGM) was 17th and Theo Pourchaire (Team Impul) was 18th on a miserable Super Formula debut for the reigning Formula 2 champion. That followed an off at Turn 7 (formerly Dunlop Curve*) for the French driver that required his front wing to be changed during his pitstop.
Kamui Kobayashi (KCMG) dropped out with a loose wheel late on.

Pirelli report on Day 1 of the 2025 tire test at Suzuka:
press.pirelli.com/pirelli-back-on-track-at-suzuka/
Day 1 drivers: Bottas and Ricciardo
Day 2 drivers will be Bottas and Tsunoda

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of these two-week gaps between the races early in the season.

damn you!!!
When I wake up and login to see the F1 thread at the top, I'm hoping for some juicy gossip or something happened overnight.
Nope

Haas will bring a new update that was planned for Imola already at China GP. They will bring 2 kits just for 1 driver.
This update will be 70-80% of this complete update that will come finally in Imola.
In China Magnussen will drive with the update and in Miami Hulkenberg. At Imola they will then get all updates for both drivers.

Seems like Merc would have been fine giving him 446,000,001 though to keep him. Wouldn't think money would have been the thing. Maybe not though, that's a lot of money

Top of the midfield is ripe for the taking with DannyRic being WASHED. If these upgrades work . . . man, that would be awesome.

I can't think Merc believes Russell is their #1.
Posted on 4/9/24 at 3:07 pm to BuckyCheese
I think Hulk is the better driver of the two. Will be interesting to watch how each does with upgrades. So far the new Haas TP is killing it imo

MAG is a utility driver. You can plug him and place him in a variety of situations. He is especially racy when he is defending against vehicles with similar speed. I believe HUL is outright quicker though.
Posted on 4/9/24 at 3:56 pm to Tornado Alley
Considering Ferrari will likely want Bearman in a seat next year it will be interesting to see what happens.
I think Hulk is the faster of the two, when he doesn't blow starts, but there is talk he may be on Audi's radar.

Russell shunting it in the last lap of a race is a pleasure to see.

Would they though? I mean, sales of his merchandise and the likes def plateaued with Merc. He wouldn’t bring in 1/10 of what he will with Ferrari.
Every Ham fan now needs a new hat, shirt, jacket, etc…

I cannot find the article but I saw something like that also that Hulk was way up the list and a favorite to join Audi.
