Yeah, that was pretty cool with what they were doing too.

Is the Haas-Ferrari relationship really any closer than Williams-Mercedes? Rosberg, Bottas and George Russell all made their debuts with Williams, right?
Posted on 10/16/26 at 7:40 pm to NWHoustonTiger
I think they have varying degrees of the same relationship. Williams is more established so they run more of the own design and tech. But Williams are likely also more entwined with Merc with relationships and good ole boy type stuff.

I think Toto was a shareholder in Williams before starting the Mercedes team. He also manages young drivers. Vowles seems to be going his own way tho, no nurturing rookies

Yeah, those two teams are incestuous at times. Paddy Lowe went to Williams to implode after being one of the main forces behind Merc's initial rise.
Toto has/had ownership interest in Williams and Aston. Recently tried to be a owner in Alpine, but there was some backstory about his attempt being there to prevent someone else. The reasoning escapes me.

Speaking of Rwanda’s GDP: $17B
The lowest GDP in the US is Vermont at $48B.
Soo…why is F1 going to Rwanda? Who is going to fund the race in a market that can’t support it?

F1 doesnt give a flying frick if anyone is in the stands.
Dark money spends as good as hard earned well promoted events.
Some Rwandan or Chinese billionaire will fork over a few hundred million to have a private party. Happening in the UAE for a decade or more.

Probably against Christian Horner.
Posted on 10/16/26 at 9:12 pm to s14suspense
Ha, likely.
Did he just release a book? Would probably be worth a read for all the shite he is likely to throw out there.
Saw some reference to Max's team not allowing Alonso to RBR a couple years ago when Horner wanted him.

This is the answer. F1 misses Christian. And are all these different versions of it.

Since the Indy sticky thread was removed...
indy to race in Barcelona
Race scheduled in Barcelona for 2027. Should be an interesting track to watch them run at.

When I heard it, at first it didn't make sense to me, then I remembered that the Spanish GP is in Madrid now and this year was the last race at Barcelona for the foreseeable future.
A nice road course for IndyCar. In previous runs at Gilles Villeneuve and COTA, the IndyCars I think were on the order of 10 seconds slower than F1, and even a little slower than F2. With the slower new F1 cars, maybe the gap will be narrower.

I really wish Indy would go back to COTA
Posted on 10/19/26 at 9:44 pm to Gulf Coast Tiger
It is hard to believe they don't race at some of the top North American tracks when they are the premier regional racing series.
Posted on 10/19/26 at 9:51 pm to fightin tigers
What other track would you like to see them at?
Posted on 10/19/26 at 10:05 pm to Gulf Coast Tiger
The mentioned COTA and Gilles Villneauve.
Hermanos Rodríguez would seem to make sense, indy cars mar actually go good around there.
Others that would need upgrades/improvement Sebring, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen....
