maybe sainz will finally make a decision right ?
median bane
Looks likely to be Williams yh
frosty thorn
@hoary gate over here bud.
hoary gate
yeah
frosty thorn
But yea, donāt think Yuki will get the seat.
frosty thorn
Itād be nice, but Redbull really love to give max the 1st driver choice, not really a team choice.
frosty thorn
So does max as well, heās more of a guy who just wants to win for himself, not for the team.
hoary gate
like, it'd be so weird
frosty thorn
Lawson would sound good on paper, but just wouldnāt work at all.
hoary gate
it's a part of max's dark side, being too competitive and not thinking about team
but he'd be good with a bottas of sorts
frosty thorn
it's a part of max's dark side, being too competitive and not thinking about tea...
Hasnāt thought about them since 2022.
Once he won that 1st WDC, he just drove and drove and forgot about how he really got there.
hoary gate
Hasnāt thought about them since 2022.
happens with most champions, it happpened with schumacher and barrichelo, lewis and bottas, you name it
frosty thorn
Yea, thatās also a solid point.
slender cliff
happens with most champions, it happpened with schumacher and barrichelo, lewis ...
bottas?
frosty thorn
Bottas in Russia I think.
hoary gate
especially since mercedes is like "you can sim race all you want with us"
slender cliff
Bottas in Russia I think.
only mercedes have won races there afaik
frosty thorn
When he had to hand the position back.
frosty thorn
Yea, but very few 1st team drivers do that for 2nd team drivers.
hoary gate
bottas, f1's biggest sub š
frosty thorn
Didnāt Alonso once do that?
hoary gate
yeah, the "Fernando is faster than you" episode
frosty thorn
He handed a win when he was in Ferrari. Canāt remember who it was.
slender cliff
yes, second drivers that have handed wins for first drivers
and then we have norris getting team ordered to give piastri a win (whilst piastri got team ordered a lot before)
hoary gate
but norris is not mclaren's 2nd
frosty thorn
Pastry is just so humble, especially for his age. Though I feel like thatās gonna disappear soon.
frosty thorn
but norris is not mclaren's 2nd
Heās more of a first.
hoary gate
yup
frosty thorn
Actually he is a first.
Thing is though, Bottas was low-key so underrated in the Merc.
hoary gate
point is, max would only benefit with a second driver, but that is omega boring and we should get a max-yuki rivalry
we need a big rivalry actually
frosty thorn
point is, max would only benefit with a second driver, but that is omega boring ...
Everyone would love to see it, but I personally feel like Yuki would crumble.
hoary gate
any rivalry
hoary gate
Everyone would love to see it, but I personally feel like Yuki would crumble.
only if he does not manage his anger
frosty thorn
Yuki now at RB is somewhat good-mediocre at best. But putting him in a Redbull is just insane.
hoary gate
Yuki now at RB is somewhat good-mediocre at best. But putting him in a Redbull i...
you have a point
but doesn't rb have a lot of reliability issues?
frosty thorn
Maybe not insane, but heād feel the pressure, wouldnāt perform as well, and start to drive like Perez right now.
hoary gate
i think that given a few races yuki can pop off
frosty thorn
but doesn't rb have a lot of reliability issues?
Donāt really keep track tbf.
frosty thorn
Honestly, if Alonso didnāt sign that AM extension, Iād tell him to run.
hoary gate
idk why alonso signed that btw
frosty thorn
Go to that Redbull seat, and destroy, or even ruin maxās chance of winning a WDC.
frosty thorn
idk why alonso signed that btw
Had a bullet to his head.
full root
idk why alonso signed that btw
Lost hope for anything else.
frosty thorn
AM looked so promising in 2023 with Alonso, but now theyāre so unrecognisable.
Alonso in a Redbull wouldāve been such a solid option Iād imagine for them.
full root
Whatever they path was, it went straight into a ceiling and came crashing down.
hoary gate
and having to play the 2nd player for stroll after winning and achieving so much...
alonso is fucked
frosty thorn
Whatever they path was, it went straight into a ceiling and came crashing down.
I blame stroll, even if he wasnāt part of it.
frosty thorn
alonso is fucked
I see him leaving next year, 100%.
full root
Lance had some decent races, right as the car's perf went to shit lol.
It's a shame that he never had that consistency when it wasn't shit.
frosty thorn
Thatās gonna be Haas, isnāt it?
frosty thorn
Which team gonna be Audi again?
hoary gate
sauber is gonna become audi
frosty thorn
Ah, so Hulk.
frosty thorn
haas has hopes with toyota
I mean, if they use their WEC staff, then they might have a chance.
frosty thorn
Flirting with sushi.
hoary gate
š
frosty thorn
But now we must talk about the man who isnāt having a smooth operator.
hoary gate
oh shit
frosty thorn
Honestly, where will he go?
hoary gate
yeah sainz
man if he goes to williams... poor guy
wasted chance with audi
procceds to go to an even worse team
frosty thorn
Toto is a child lover it seems, so itās either Williams or Sauber.
hoary gate
sheesh
frosty thorn
Thereās no way heās going to Merc.
hoary gate
yeah
maybe if checo is dropped, his contract extension ends and sainz rb dream is restored
frosty thorn
Unless the Sauber projects kicks of well, donāt really seeing him going anywhere else.
full root
alonso on audi š
Straight downgrade cause Alonso doesn't have the time to wait on them to improve, and Aston will also have factory engine backing from Honda, so there's nothing for him in there.
frosty thorn

His time at Redbull wasnāt even the best as well lmao.
hoary gate
bc i don't think they'll keep daniel around at the end of the season
hoary gate
His time at Redbull wasnāt even the best as well lmao.
a second chance was what he was looking for
frosty thorn
Who is the 1st driver though at Ferrari though? Sainz or lechair?
hoary gate
but max's word was stronger
hoary gate
Who is the 1st driver though at Ferrari though? Sainz or lechair?
leclerc
frosty thorn
a second chance was what he was looking for
If only they gave him one.
hoary gate
he is stuck there for a lot of time
frosty thorn
And whoās gonna be Yukiās partner?
hoary gate
lawson?
frosty thorn
Might be Lawson.
hoary gate
if yuki does not get the seat now lawson will fight him for it
frosty thorn
Also, will Merc use mick or kimi?
hoary gate
so it's a good play for VCARB
full root
They have to give it to Lawson or he's going to be free of their shackles.
hoary gate
so it's a good play for VCARB
have two motivated drivers fighting for the same thing
hoary gate
For points?
for the future rb seat
full root
Mick is probably not even a third option for anyone.
That said I don't feel like gambling on Kimi for 2025 is good, now that they got a promising car.
hoary gate
bottas back at merc
frosty thorn
Feel bad for him, some people really believe heās there cos of his name.
hoary gate
š
frosty thorn
Mick is probably not even a third option for anyone.
Maybe alpine cos WEC. 
full root
Alpine has 2 other drivers in line ahead of him at least.
hoary gate

he had his chance bc he was good, but he whiffed it
frosty thorn
Alpine has 2 other drivers in line ahead of him at least.
Which are?
hoary gate
to be fair, a lot of pressure on carrying the name schumacher
full root
Jack Doohan and there was another from junior series I forgot the name of tbh.
frosty thorn
to be fair, a lot of pressure on carrying the name schumacher
Facts
full root
In Alpine's position they can afford to try a rookie over a mid driver like Mick.
full root
to be fair, a lot of pressure on carrying the name schumacher
He did not take it too well once he got a better teammate š
frosty thorn
what about the viking? where will his ass be seated?
Bottas? Probably at Williams.
hoary gate
he might be a good option for alpine if the junior guys don't work out
hoary gate
Bottas? Probably at Williams.
kmag

What's there to not work out?
hoary gate

Nobody else will be taking them, they're not Oscar.

No shot Audi wants him.
full root
They're fishing for Sainz with Binotto's signing for sure.
frosty thorn
his defense is good
Yea, and somewhat consistent as well.
hoary gate
so idk if he's got a seat
frosty thorn
They're fishing for Sainz with Binotto's signing for sure.
Who? Sauber?
hoary gate
sainz to real madrid 2025
i hope mercedes gets a shit driver tho
i don't wanna see them dominating the grid
not after way too many years
full root
Who? Sauber?
Yes, they need at least one very good driver for mid to long term. No offence to Hulk, but he's not getting younger.
frosty thorn
i hope mercedes gets a shit driver tho
Sainz?
frosty thorn
Jokes aside, kimi is probably gonna join Merc. Time to say bye bye to mick.
full root
Mercedes has an issue on their hands tbh, McLaren's pair is very strong, Ferrari is keeping strong with Lewis joining, if Red Bull sorts out the second seat it's joever.
They might end up the odd team at the top with just 1 car at full strength next year.
hoary gate
what about newey?
what team will he go to?
apparently he does not wanna go to ferrari
frosty thorn
Obviously Williams.
hoary gate
which saddens me
full root
If I was Newey I'd rather retire than go to Ferrari.
hoary gate
i hope he does end up in ferrari somehow
frosty thorn
Sargent going to Indycar, so bye bye to him as well.
hoary gate
oh yeah
frosty thorn
i hope he does end up in ferrari somehow
He might end up in AM.

Sargent going to Indycar, so bye bye to him as well.
Another mid driver to finish outside top 10 consistently there KEK
frosty thorn
Kinda wish Sargent had a chance, but it truly is time for him to go.
hoary gate
i think indy might be his chance
frosty thorn
Not sure how Indy works, so not gonna say much, but it could be.
Or he could pull a Nic de Breeze and go to FE.
full root
i think indy might be his chance
Indy is very competitive at the top, he has to be insanely good at hiding his talent currently to do anything big in Indy xD
hoary gate
listen, maybe f1 was not his thing, but he can find himself in indy
i know it is competitive at the top
still, logan might find himself there[
frosty thorn
Sargent to take Redbull seat.
full root
Just don't see him as a particularly talented driver for this kind of series.
hoary gate
Sargent to take Redbull seat.
men want only one thing, and it's disgusting:
full root
As soon as he goes fast he tends to end up in barriers, that won't cut it even in Indy.
hoary gate
sargeant to nascar so that he can use those barriers
all i want is to see logan happy š
his face is of disgust when doing media content for williams
frosty thorn
Sargent only had 1 point last year, no points as of now this year.
full root
That 1 point was a miracle, thought he'd never get it.
frosty thorn
Speaking of points, whatās gonna happen to the other Asian?
hoary gate
reserve driver

he will NOT get a contract next year
he is baaaaad
cccp bad

Home race moment.

Maybe another driver out of F1?
hoary gate
well anyways, zhou will not get shit in f1
full root
Zhou will be gone for sure, unless some team suddenly gets money issued.
hoary gate
sargeant an zhou are definitely out, so that's 2 vacant seats and one is filled with the š» guy
the other one might be kimi
slender cliff
AM looked so promising in 2023 with Alonso, but now theyāre so unrecognisable.
aston are stuck 5th rn (maybe works honda will help em in 2026 possibly?)
frosty thorn
Honestly, only time will tell.
hoary gate
but lawson is coming in, probably
frosty thorn
If anything, AM have strong performance..
hoary gate
so another seat has to be vacant for the 'future of f1 trio' to come in
frosty thorn
They just canāt design their cars.
frosty thorn
but lawson is coming in, probably
Lawson this, Lawson that. I see him being the cash RB driver. Not going to Redbull until 2025/if he has a good season.
Or he decides to go to alpine.
hoary gate
his name is lawson but he ain't no lawyer

probably checo
At this point seeing a washed Checo is sad, so I'd rather see him retire.

Idk if his sponsors can help there as much lol.

Put Mick in a Williams, heāll dominate.
frosty thorn
Jokes aside though, I feel like he could do well in a Williams.
By doing well, I mean giving Albon a run for his money.
hoary gate
maybe even better than albon
frosty thorn
Lmao, more or less said the same thing.

albon is kind of the comparison standart for a williams driver

if you're better than albon you go through, if worse, youre out of f1

Ending up in HAAS for a start was bad tbh.
Most drivers there were just extending their career, or paying their way in. Bear is going to be the first exception, but in a way it is kinda a seat paid by Ferrari.
Hulk is the only one to turn staying there into a positive so far, he escaped the system...but only for a Sauber gamble unfortunately.
slender cliff
They just canāt design their cars.
aston can't develop the car no matter what they do (i think THAT'S their biggest problem rn)

Alonso just happy to be in f1 still i reckon

Still more potential than Aston, and now that potential rapidly stopped being just potential.
