Considering 2 teams didn't sign anyone for this season prior to the new year, these are very good choices, I was expecting two 50-60 overalls but no, a 73 and a 75 are some good choices.

#

Welcome to the 2039 F1 season!

Last season saw Alpine win yet another constructors title, with Patricia David securing her 7th drivers title in the most crushing dominance yet in terms of points gap. But there is one thing people are talking about heading into this season, literally.

Kimi Antonelli has left Red Bull after 4 years and has joined Alpine to become David's teammate, and everyone is wondering: Is he one to finally challenge, or even beat, the reigning champion?

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I hate the Renault engine, nothing saves this top speed.

#

Pre-Season Testing Report: Alpine fall back as rivals start to gain.

It seems that we may not just have 2 contenders for the championship this season. After pre-season testing, it seems that Alpine have fallen back despite the research they've done for this season. The teams closest to them seem to be Chevrolet and Aston Martin.

#

Random Fact: Bo Prani's number is not visible on her car, if any number is present at all.

misty blaze Jan 22, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

BIG CRASH!

7 cars involved:

Amato
Antonelli
Sasaki
Tsolov
Araujo
Brun
Lombardi

It seemed to start when Antonelli couldn't turn into the corner for turn 1 and hit Amato, giving both of them big damage. This then caused a chain reaction in which 5 other drivers couldn't stop in time and hit each other, also giving them big damage.

#

Only Sasaki survived, but probably has big enough damage that points are off the cards now.

#

6 DNFs in one go

#

ANOTHER RED FLAG, AND THOSE ARE THE RACE LEADERS POURCHAIRE AND DAVID! WHAT HAS GONE ON THERE?

#

Looks like Pourchaire loses it into turn 8 and clips the wall, and then he slides back on track straight into David, nothing she could've done there.

#

Disaster day for Alpine, both cars out and a major repair bill after this one.

#

Penalties:

Pourchaire and Antonelli have been given 5 second time penalties for their seperate crashes, but as they are out of this race, they will translate into grid penalties for the next race in Melbourne.

#

VSC: Gallo is out

#

He tries to go for a move on Maloney into turn 4 but loses the rear end and slams into the wall, the 9th retirement of this Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

#

VSC: Hadjar is out

#

He got the move done on Bearman but then locks up straight into the barrier at turn 9! 10 retirements now.

#

SECOND RED FLAG, ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE THE RACE LEADERS, MOREIRA AND WATANABE BOTH OUT!

#

Watanabe behind Moreira with the DRS and locks up straight into the back of the Red Bull!

#

Only 10 cars remain

#

Penalty: Watanabe also gets a grid penalty for the collision with Moreira.

Lap 35: VSC, Prani is out

#

Only thing we know was that Prani was parked on the exit kerb of turn 3, so she must have tried to overtake someone on the outside but got terminal floor damage when going wide.

#

Lap 46: Moreira reitres with a terminal fault

#

Lap 47: Pourchaire is reporting a major fault, he is currently 2nd, oh wait make that 3rd, Thomas Mann has gotten past him for 2nd, the rookie is in a podium position without all the red flags.

Lap 5: Tsolov reporting a problem with his McLaren very early into this Japanese Grand Prix.

#

Lap 9: That's Tsolov deep into the grass at turn 1, what's happened?

#

So here's the replay:

Tsolov is going for the move on Mann on the outside into turn 1, and then they seemingly turn towards each other.

#

Both cars with minor damage.

#

Penalty: Mann was deemed at fault and now has a 5 second penalty hanging over his head.

#

Lap 11: Pourchaire once again reporting a problem while in a podium place. A minor fault this time but a podium could well be gone soon if it doesn't improve.

#

It is already as Franz overtakes Pourchaire up into 3rd

#

Yellow in sector 2, we believe it involves the Sauber-Apollo of Elizabete Araujo

#

Here's the replay:

Heading into the hairpin, Araujo just cannot stop the car and runs in the other McLaren of Mercedes Gonzalez.

#

Investgation: No penalties given for the collision between Araujo and Gonzalez.

#

Lap 15: Yellow in sector 2, and that's Gallo off the track at the hairpin, possibly a lockup

#

Meanwhile, Mann is reporting an issue with his car as well, the cars aren't very happy this particular Sunday.

#

Lap 17: Pourchaire reporting his mechanical fault has worsened, it could be his grand prix over early if it doesn't stop progressing.

#

That's his teammate, Hiromi Watanabe on the inside at 130R woah that was close! Up to 3rd, but Pourchaire has DRS and retakes the place on the straight.

#

Lap 18: Trying again is Watanabe, she gets the move done at 130R again, but once more Pourchaire has DRS down that main straight, Watanabe though covers the inside, Pourchaire is still trying it, the two Chevrolets wheel to wheel through turn 1, and Watanabe hangs on around the outside.

#

Lap 21: Meanwhile for P1, David down the inside on Antonelli at hairpin, that was late but fair, nice move there.

#

#

SC: Maloney is out

#

Seems like he ran wide at the S-Section and broke his floor.

Welcome to the 2040 F1 season!

Last season saw a championship battle that went down to the last race, with Kimi Antonelli finally giving Patricia David a run for her money as it went all the way to the wire. But in the end, David managed to secure her 8th drivers title, and is looking to equal Lewis Hamilton's record of a 9th this season, but Antonelli will be giving it everything to try and make it his 4th title.

On the off track side of things, many are speculating that the cars are getting pretty quick, so a major technical change could well be on the horizon for 2041. The changes for this year only really impacted cooling, so overall speed of the cars has gotten even quicker compared to last season.

In terms of drivers, Daniela Benedetti, Xaria Mulford, and Deborah Feeney make their returns this season after a year away. Benedetti is looking to come back swinging at Aston Martin after 4 tedious years at Alpine, Mulford looks to start off on equal footing with young teammate Thomas Mann, and Feeney has an achievable benchmark for her return in beating teammate Jak Crawford.

Also in terms of drivers, Theo Pourchaire's contract ends this season, but he is currently 36 years old, so there is a possibly that the 2 time champion closes the curtain on his career at the end of this season.

Down the ranks, Simone Ferri has been quite the talk of the town for winning this year's F2 title, but there are also rumors that he can find a spot on the F1 grid for next season as well.

A new decade full of possibilities for F1, all we have to do is get through the races, one at a time.

A little random, but it's on my mind.

Ranking all of the 50-60 overall drivers that have driven in this save:

7: Susana Torres, 60 overall, 2037:

Destroyed by everyone, even her fellow 56 overall, often found finishing over a minute behind the next car. Disappointing season considering she was the 3rd highest rating of all the drivers on this list.

6: Qadir Asfour, 55 overall, 2036:

Not as bad as Torres, performed to his actual rating, but still quite slow, often 30 seconds down on the next driver.

5: Nathalie Dubois, 53 overall, 2035:

Nothing special, just an average season considering the rating, the most forgettable driver on this list.

4: Michael Irvine, 63 overall, 2033:

Got beaten by a lower rated driver, but still managed to fight for positions at times.

3: Gabriella Longo, 58 overall, 2033:

Longo punched well above her weight in 2033. While your average season for a 58 overall, she was ahead of a 71 rated Lando Norris (13 overall more) in the standings for the majority of the season.

2: Elisabeth Horn, 60 overall, 2036:

Qualifying pace amped up in the second half of the season, but race pace was still left to be desired. She even managed to run in 9th at the Belgian Grand Prix, but then got taken out by her own teammate. Still fared better than most of these drivers on this list.

1: Gabela Phan, 56 overall, 2037:

Phan punched above her weight as well, but in a bigger way. Despite being 56 overall, she did manage to fight for places, even as high as 15th place, consistently. The thing that really separates Phan for the other 6 is that she kept it on the track during the chaotic Las Vegas Grand Prix to finish in 8th place and scored points as a 56 overall. That result ended her season ahead of not only Torres, but also Zane Maloney.

Audi's Early Dive (Alpine Season 18 2041)

#

Welcome to the 2041 F1 Season!

We're not far into the decade and the cars have gotten a major change. It's more focused to the chassis, but it still affects the other main car parts in a big way, so the cars are expected to be much slower than their predecessors from the last 3 years.

Drivers must adapt to these new technical regulations to stay competitive, particularly the Alpines, who once again locked horns in a title battle last season, but it was once again Patricia David who took the crown, a record equaling 9th. This season could be a history maker for David, not only for the most world championships by a single driver, but the first driver to ever hit 10 world championships. But Kimi Antonelli is looking for revenge, and for his long awaited 4th title, this season. He kept David on her heels last season but fell away in the final few races. That can't happen again in order to match, and beat, his teammate.

Last season, we said that Theo Pourchaire could well have retired. Well turns out he isn't hanging up his helmet just yet, as he signed a 1 year deal with McLaren for this season. But he is still approaching his 40s soon, and this 1 year deal could well be a sign.

With the tech changes and a fresh slate, anything can happen this new season of F1.

Not even 5 rounds in and there is already talks of a deal breaking apart.

Sauber-Apollo have been working together to keep the Sauber name alive for 8 years, but tensions are quickly growing between the two ever since last season over ownership disputes. More specifically, Apollo wants more control in the team for more consistent development, but Sauber is trying to remind them of why they joined them. These tensions aren't being helped by the fact that the team is currently sat in 10th in the constructors standings, with no points on the board. Rumors say that it has gotten to a point where the partnership could split and leave Sauber to rot due to the major financial benefits from Apollo.

Apollo to break partnership with Sauber at the end of the 2041 season.

Tensions have only gotten worse at Sauber-Apollo, which has resulted in the 8 year partnership falling apart come the end of this season. This is a big blow for Sauber, as Apollo brought major financial benefits to the team to keep them afloat, but now they could only have enough to scrape by the 2042 season, of which would be their 50th year in F1.

Theo Pourchaire announces F1 retirement at the end of the 2041 season

A particularly extended wait time for his debut could have meant longer, but Theo Pourchaire has gone 13 seasons at this point, which is still respectable considering the level of talent in the sport, and that's where he's leaving it as he will be retiring from F1 at the end of this season. He would regularly outperform his car, and as a result, his teammates. Drivers like Alexander Albon, Oliver Bearman, George Russell, and Zane Maloney all failed to get the better of him. This out performing of his machinery would especially be put on display in 2030 when he won 2 races and stood on the podium 5 times. It would transform into 2 back to back drivers titles in 2031 and 2032, beating Bearman by quite a margin. Even after he left Alpine, he'd still out perform midfield Bugattis and Chevrolets. Now he is hanging up his helmet after a brief stint with McLaren, so far convincingly outperforming teammate Verlee Lee.

Zane Maloney to retire from F1 at the end of the 2042 season.

In what has been a modest career, Zane Maloney will retire from F1 after 13 seasons, a long awaited debut like Theo Pourchaire, but unlike him, Maloney has not achieved very much at all. No podiums, no wins, no fastest laps, no pole positions, only really good enough for the midfield at best. A best championship position of 10th is what his highest point is most likely going to be, as this season has proved very difficult, sitting 22nd and last in the standings.

Kimi Antonelli could leave Alpine mid-season?

In light of Kimi Antonelli's recent underperformances since the Canadian Grand Prix, there is now a wild rumor that he could leave on his own accord mid-season. It's not for the reasons you might think though.

People in the paddock who have overheard the end of a meeting after the British Grand Prix noticed that Antonelli said something about 'being exhausted', which implies that after 3 straight title battles, it's starting to wear on him.

They also say what really gave him a knock mentally was his crash at the Chinese Grand Prix, when he was leading the championship then. 3 more podiums followed, but the factors listed really started to kick in at the aforementioned Canadian Grand Prix, where he was trundling in the bottom 11 for the majority of the race before he crashed out.

Since then, it has been a negative spiral for the Italian, as this is what the speculators are calling to be 'a culminating to his mid-season exit, in order to hit a reset button'. It's a wild rumor, but who knows what could happen in F1 until it actually happens?

BREAKING: Kimi Antonelli leaves Alpine with immediate effect.

The Italian has called it on his time with Alpine after 3 and a half season with the team, getting close to that elusive 4th title each time, but this progress has stalled, and regressed, this season. He has given a statement along with this announcement:

"I didn't expect to lay low when people overheard the end of that British Grand Prix meeting. The reasons are in fact true, I am mentally drained from 3 straight years of non stop title fights, and that crash in China really hit me hard. With this is mind, I am leaving Alpine with immediate effect as of the summer break. I am not taking this as a full retirement yet, if I come back, I have hit a reset button, but if I don't, it will be a full retirement."

Here is the team principal's view of this situation:

"This came as a surprise, we knew he was tired but we didn't think it was this bad. His season started strong as per, but then it started to set in mid way through. I can see why he's taking a sabbatical though, drivers have done so before and came back strong after resetting. We will find someone to fill the vacancy as soon as possible".

Red Bull fire Dorothy Broutsos for the final 6 races of 2042.

Surprise surprise, the Red Bull from the 2010s came back and have fired Dorothy Broutsos for underperformances and inter-team tensions. Also worth noting that Broutsos has 6 DNFs across the 18 races so far this season, the most of any driver, so this has cost Red Bull a fair amount in crash damage. A temporary replacement in Giancarlo Sala will drive in the vacant seat for the final 6 races of the season before Kimi Antonelli returns from his short sabbatical in 2043 with Red Bull.

Kimi Antonelli and Isack Hadjar to retire from F1 at the end of the 2043 season.

Unlike the past 2 seasons, 2 drivers will retire from the sport at the end of the season, one a multiple world champion, the other a solid midfielder on his good days.

Kimi Antonelli debuted in 2026 with Audi and instantly showed his craft, beating Oscar Piastri to the title at the penultimate round in Qatar. Then in 2027, he proceeded to win every single race and sprint, only missing a few pole positions along the way. One more title followed with Red Bull in 2030 after 3 years together, but then he was unable to find a seat for 2031. He did come back with Sauber for 2032 in one of the biggest moves of the past 2 decades, but he then returned to Red Bull after 3 years. 4 more years with the Bulls followed, before the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking, when he secured an Alpine deal for 2039. He came so close to the title in the first 3 years, but 2042 saw him completely collapse mid season, which he then left on his own accord mid season due to exhaustion from said title battles. Now returning to Red Bull for a 3rd time for 1 final year, he will most likely end his career as a 3 time champion.

Isack Hadjar also debuted in 2026 with Sauber, and instantly proved to be well in the midfield, beating teammate Jack Doohan in the drivers standings, and was even within touching distance of drivers like Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton in the standings. A switch to Aston Martin for 2028 saw him really shine, dragging the AMR28 to points more often than teammate Sergio Perez, and consistently outperforming his other Aston Martin teammate Logan Sargeant. This is where it peaked however, with a Williams-Rolls Royce stint a brief flashback to the Aston Martin days. Now he'll end his career where he started at Sauber.

Two drivers that showcased their craft who will be remembered by fans for their respective reasons.

Heading into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, here are the requirements for the championship.

For Patricia David: Finish as high as 3rd, but outscore Girard by 3 points, as 4 would make Girard win on countback

For Mireille Girard: Finish as high as 2nd, but must outscore David by at least 4 points in the race to win on countback

Sauber to leave F1 at the end of the 2044 season.

The Swiss team have had a humble history in F1. Debuting in 1993, they've mostly been midfielders with a few trips to the front, notably part of the BMW Sauber stint in 2008 and the start of the Sauber-Apollo partnership from 2034-2036.

But there have been more backmarker years as well, and the past few seasons since the breakup with Apollo have been no different. Going back to independence for their 50th anniversary, the past few seasons have been difficult for Sauber, and with currently sitting in 9th place this season, it is what has put the nail in the coffin for the Swiss outfit.

This leaves a gap in the teams, which allows for a team to take their place for 2045.

Candidates for the Sauber vacancy applying.

Sauber announced their departure from F1 due to financial troubles during the summer break, which has left an opening for a new team on the grid. So far, as of the United States Grand Prix, there are 4 candidates for the replacement 11th team:

KTM
BMW
Koenigsegg
Ford

The main candidates at the moment look to be Koenigsegg and Ford, but more could develop, there's still 2 months left in the season.

All Girard has to do is finish 2nd to make the title 100% secure. However, if she finishes lower than 2nd and David wins, then she secures the title. Lower than 2nd is highly unlikely though.

Sauber replacement confirmed.

Months of approvals and internal checks for 4 potential outfits finally see 1 of them confirmed to replace the outgoing Sauber team. That outfit is Koenigsegg, the Swedish manufacturer seeing their road car rivals Bugatti's successes, and looking to challenge them in the pinnacle of motorsport within a few years. Though it is looked to be a difficult start for the team from insiders and fans due to the late approval and lack of experience with the technical and sporting regulations of F1. In fact, the last proper motorsport car they built was the CCGT for GT1 all the way back in 2007, and it didn't even compete, so the lack of experience is expected to show.

They have come prepared in terms of drivers, however. The lineup consists of Willi Rutten and Simone Ferri, two solid midfield drivers to kickstart Koenigsegg's first season.

Patricia David announces F1 retirement at the end of this season, leaving vacancy at top team for drivers to scramble for.

No matter what kind of driver you are, world champion, race winner, or mere points scorer, you eventually call time on your career if you make it that far. Really safe to say Patricia David made it that far, a 17 year career will come to an end this season. Now what this leaves is interesting. It leaves a vacant seat at the reigning champions Alpine, a seat that any driver would be pleased to get. So far, the primary candidates for it are Jurgen Gartling, Simone Ferri, and Thomas Mann, with a risky move in giving Brazilian driver Darlene Tavares her debut in a top team on the cards as well. The negotiators at Alpine are bound to be busy this next month before F1 returns to the track in Portugal.

#

As of the Portuguese Grand Prix, the following driver transfers for 2046 have been confirmed:

Simone Ferri: Koenigsegg > Alpine (3 years)
Xantara Bevis: Renewed deal with Chevrolet (4 years)
Thomas Mann: Renewed deal with Red Bull (4 years)
Mercedes Gonzalez: Alpine Affiliate > Mercedes (1 year)
Shigeru Sasaki: Free Agent > Koenigsegg (4 years)
Elizabete Araujo: Free Agent > McLaren (3 years)
Dorothy Broutsos: Alpine Affiliate > McLaren (1 year)

Mann comes back from the pit lane to take 7th
Aston Martin overtake Ferrari for 3rd in the constructors standings

#

If this is similar to McLaren 2026 I had on F1M23, the car turns to s#!t around now and we have to play the game of score as many points as possible in the last few races and don't allow your rival to overtake you. Portugal was good, but my cars always perform well there, Hungary will give a more accurate representation.

Absolute disaster for Alpine, Girard involved in a Brazil 2018 2.0 and David suffering a gearbox failure meaning that Alpine's only points came from the sprint. In this turn of fate, Mercedes overtake Alpine for the lead of the constructors standings, scoring 56 points to Alpine's 6.
Franz's gap in the drivers standings grows to 44 points
Brun comes back from 21st to take 8th

#

Early on though, we were on the side of f#$ked though, Franz had contact breaking his front wing, and a red flag meant we had to take softs for more than 30 laps.

Lap 23: So a safety car came out, the top 3 then were David, Gartling, and Franz. But the safety car came out just after the 3 of them passed the pit entry, everyone else pit but they couldn't. What made it worse is that the SC came out to form the train as everyone else was pitting. Then the 3 pit on the next lap with the SC train already formed.

#

They are now 16th, 17th, and 18th

#

What's odd is, Mulford did not unlap herself after the confirmation to unlap the cars was done

Ok, briefly here, something straight up dumb happened in Q2:

On the final runs, Moreira spins while starting her flying lap. Nothing serious so far. But then, Brun and Jones appear to pass her to start their laps. But Moreira being Moreira, she pulls an unsafe rejoin back onto the track and swerves into Jones causing a crash. What are you playing at?

Lap 3: Moreira locked up and went to 4th to last. Great job

#

Lap 18: Should mention Kramer at the moment, he's managed the conditions really well so far and is being rewarded for that with running in 4th, valuable points there for Audi

#

At his home race, on top of that

#

Lap 30: The Mercedes' are 40 seconds clear of 3rd, this rain clearly showing the tire wear difference between the cars.

#

As it stands, Alpine score just 2 points. Ouch

#

Lap 38: Red flag

#

This is now no longer a strategy battle, everyone can make it to the end on their inters, so it's all down to the drivers

#

Lap 44: Mann has a problem, this opens up the battle for 3rd

#

Lap 50: The final spot on the podium is still up for grabs. Mann, Lee, and Kramer are all within a second of each other

#

Lap 59: Turns out most of the field cannot make it on their inters from the restart and are pitting for hopefully the final time

#

Mann and Lee have pitted, but they are getting hugely held up in traffic, which may allow Amato and Kramer to capitalize

#

Lap 63: There is no way people are trying to get to the end, their tires are below 30%, surely they're going to pop before then?

#

One of them is crowd favourite Kramer, this isn't looking good for them now

#

But, one may actually capitalize off the long stint, it's Xantara Bevis, those tires are at 41%, there's a small chance it might actually pay off for a podium here

#

Lap 67: OH NO, KRAMER HAS A PUNCTURE FROM 3RD! Such a heartbreaker for the Dutch crowd

#

Lap 68: Another puncture, this time, Moreira. Maybe locking up earlier didn't help that, eh?

#

Lap 69: Another red flag, chaos unfolding in the last 10 laps of the Dutch Grand Prix

#

Lap 71: Two laps to sort out who wins this race and who claims the final spot on the podium
