I don’t think it’s locked up just yet. I was in first for a while but haven’t been able to buy a point for the past few races. We still have 7 or 8 races left.

Yup, all you have to do is look at last year's results: dg42.net/TDF1/index.php?year=2025

bikerack won three of the last seven races, with an additional podium, and surged up the chart. sorantable led most of the season but faded, even with some decent point-scoring finishes near the end. He couldn't hold off the two guys who won five of the last seven races. pitstop won by a considerable margin because of remarkable consistency throughout the season, but that doesn't really exist this season, I think because the new rules package means that there's a lot of development changes mixing up the field behind Mercedes, and some players are slow to recognize the trends. For example, for a while it looked like VCARB would be the class of the midfield, but Alpine is coming on strong (despite the disastrous results at Baku ).

In conclusion, big swings can certainly occur in the last seven or eight races, but also remember that prizes go all the way down to P6 in the championship. Most of the field is within striking distance of P6 with just a few podium finishes.

Well I think the solid choice from here on out is Stroll dead last... Dude hasn't finished a race all year

Less surprising than Ferrari having a red car each year

Cannot believe Alonso and Stroll will be back in AM for 2027.... Talk about not caring about winning, although 50% of the problem is the car.

Aston Martin is not serious about winning anything. Goes to show that money can't solve all your problems. Somehow, I still see people in the crowd wearing AM gear. It boggles my mind. They should be wearing paper bags instead.

50%?

I'd say 100% of the reason they aren't competitive is the car.

LOL

Would never be 100%. Don't estimate how bad Stroll is.

Stroll has been bad for years and is still somehow having his worst season ever. Maybe that rocketpoweredmohawk video before the start of last season broke him. At this point he seems like a billionaire’s son who isn’t sure why he’s been forced to get a job.

Of the 3 races both AM cars have finished Alonso is only 2:1 besting Stroll.

Though Alonso is the only one to make it out of Q1 this year. Once.

The car is legitimate shite. Stroll isn't Alonso but he still has some racecraft

Stroll signed a new contract today also with a nice little pay raise from 12 million euros to 15 million.

Pretty much everything in Austin was $1500-2000 a night minimum for anything decent. We had to book 45 minutes away and it was still $600 a night.

Not sure how bad getting in and out of the place will be. Not looking forward to that.

Whoa!


I stay around Austin for work 15-20 nights a year sometimes and the average is $200/night probably.

We are planning on going in 27 if we can get a camping spot at COTA.
