Big shake up for next season. Only 2 teams return both their drivers from 2024.

Cool to see some new faces and old drivers on new teams.

Kimi -> Mercedes
Lawson -> Red Bull
Hadjar -> RB
Doohan -> Alpine
Bottas stays at Sauber

Checo, Danny Ric, Zhou are all out

ETA: This is all after Danny Ric gets promoted for second half of 2024 and Lawson goes to RB, then Danny Ric doesn’t perform.


Predictions from July - Missed on Bottas and Red Bull gave Checo more leash than expected, but nailed the rest.

There are so many baby faced rookies for next year. Going to be so interesting to see how they all play together.

How does merc lose the GOAT and then replace with a rookie when they are aiming to actually be competitive for the first time in a few years?

I should have provided an example for those not familiar with the new VCARB driver...

This thread got pinned after the season is over


Can we get it unpinned? The fact that its at the bottom of the page is a pain in the arse.

Would rather it move up with new posts so I don't have to go all the way down to see if theres anything new.

I hear you there, I turned on alerts for this thread a few months ago and that’s been super helpful.

Seeing all the posts about Bottas being backup driver for Mercedes next year. I’m hoping George has to get an appendectomy next year and we get to see Bottas in the seat again one more time with a finish like this.

I'm hoping for some fun chaos with all the new faces, and everyone being so relatively inexperienced

Ha I was unfamiliar with his radio etiquette, I kinda hope he brings that energy next year. He does have some talent.

Options don’t look great for him:

Alpine? Probably will be sold in a year, who knows what will happen there.

Aston Martin would be ideal, but that depends on the idiot son finally quitting.

Are they acknowledging that it's a support team now and they're not actually trying to win?
