They all bitch about their cars, and I know they often sound petty, esp in the heat of battle during the race or when trying to put down a good hot lap - but y'all know that they're just speaking in relative terms when they say the car won't turn, won't brake, won't accelerate out of corners, shifts like shit, has no power, no grip, is slow on the straights etc, right? It's what they're supposed to do. More descriptive feedback is better, of course, when they can give it. They give that, too, but F1 only releases probably not even 1% of what the drivers say to the pit wall unless it's on a driver onboard feed. They give the pit wall loads of good info there. Some better than others, of course. Alonso's conversations with the pit wall, for one example, are amazing, even during the race.- Formula 1 2025
Speaking of 2026 ... Some good, but one big reservation for me is that it seems like everything will be even more tire-dependent, more tire management, etc. Ugh.- Formula 1 2025
It's way worse than last year. This is basically the same car as last year - that they stopped development on later in the season with an eye toward 2026. I don't even think it makes sense to apply any Newey polish to the current turd. From the broader team's perspective it surely must make more sense to focus entirely on next year's car, using this year's as a testing mule for some stuff, but not really wasting any resources on it. They were slowest in Q and the race in Bahrain. Forget this season. Don't even bother wasting a cent of the budget or tunnel time on this car. Put it all into next season. I think AM were the first to throw in the towel for this year, starting last season, but more will soon follow suit.- Formula 1 2025
Pretty sure they're all in on next year's car. Big Stroll is rumored to have made a bunch of noise the other day about getting Newey more involved with this year's car, but I'm not sure I buy that.- Formula 1 2025
Pretty pretty pretty good weekend for Tsunoda. Lawson, well, not so much. RBR, fix your pit light system. Great drive by Piastri. Dude's a machine. George has all the finesse of a brick in tight, wheel to wheel racing. I think the Astons only kept the cars on the track just to collect data. Really. If the softs can last that long, then why even bring other compounds? The tire situation in F1 is a pathetic joke.- Formula 1 2025

Gotta have the car or, with rare exception, you ain't winning it. And boy did Lewis ever have the car. IIRC 2023 was his only year in an F1 car that wasn't a race winner. Lewis is/was awesome, but if Michael doesn't decide to retire when he does - when Lewis desperately wanted out of Mclaren, was without a ride for the next year, and was looking for any good landing place - Lewis is very likely still a 1xWDC (which is great, don't get me wrong). He'd have been on the outside looking in with everyone else, while Nico very likely becomes a multiple WDC and maybe Michael pads his total on the way out if he could beat Nico, which is far from a given considering their respective form as teammates. A Merc driver was gonna win those WDCs either way, and who knows, maybe 2021, too. I also still really think Lewis was ready to retire as a champion in 2021, and only stayed because that didn't happen. No proof of course. Just my gut. I doubt he'll ever be that sharp again. But who knows. I'd be happy for him to be that guy again. It'd be great for the show.- Texas @ Kentucky Series Thread
