Two questions: Since when is Suzuka Round 3, and since when is it a Sprint Weekend? Unless you confuse it with the Chinese GP and forgot to put the results for Melbourne and Suzuka before that...

Other than that, you kinda inspire me with this whole team report and driver reaction thing. Maybe I'll do this for future careers... 😊

Oops... I may have forgot to add Australia in the result and order everything...

[tiny cave]

It's okay. Happens to the best sometimes. 😊

True but oh well this is gonna be a boring season bad car but next season it will hopefully get interesting... I have some things planned 🙂

Breaking News: Ford Announces Driver Change for 2025

In a surprising move, Nico Hülkenberg will replace Logan Sargeant for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Despite Sargeant being the team's only point scorer in 2024, Ford has opted to bring in the experienced German driver to partner Jak Crawford for the upcoming season.

Sargeant, who secured a solid P7 finish at Silverstone, will exit the team after a year that saw mixed results. The decision to replace him comes as a shock to many, especially considering his contributions to Ford’s points tally in 2024.

Rumors surrounding Jak Crawford’s seat for 2025 have also begun to surface, with speculation about whether the American driver will retain his place alongside Hülkenberg. Despite his consistent performances and the team’s growth during the 2024 season, Crawford's future at Ford is reportedly still uncertain.

Driver Reactions:
Logan Sargeant:
“I'm disappointed with the decision, but I respect the team's choice. I gave it my all in 2024, and I'm proud of my performances. I wish the team all the best in the future and I will continue to keep pushing to prove myself.”

Nico Hülkenberg:
“I’m excited to join Ford for the 2025 season. It’s a new challenge, and I’m looking forward to helping the team grow and develop into a competitive force in Formula 1.”

Jak Crawford:
“It’s a big change for the team. I’ll focus on my performance and do my best to prove myself. Looking forward to the challenges ahead.”

Team Principal's Statement:
“We thank Logan for his hard work and dedication in 2024. His contributions were invaluable, and we wish him nothing but success in the future. Nico’s experience will be a valuable asset as we continue to build Ford’s future in F1. As for Jak, we’re looking forward to seeing his continued growth, and we’ll make decisions regarding the lineup for 2025 in due course. However we focus on the rest of this season.”

Breaking News: Carlos Sainz to Join Ford for 2025 Season!

In a dramatic turn of events, Carlos Sainz will be replacing Jak Crawford at Ford for the 2025 Formula 1 season. After being dropped by Ferrari in favor of Lewis Hamilton, Sainz has secured a multi-year deal with the American team, where he will partner Nico Hülkenberg in what promises to be an exciting new chapter for Ford Racing.

This move comes as a major shake-up in the F1 grid, as Sainz, who has been a consistent performer for Ferrari, looks to continue his career with a new team. The Spaniard brings a wealth of experience and race-winning potential to Ford, following a season where he has frequently been one of the standout performers.

Jak Crawford, who had been confirmed for 2025 just a short while ago, will now face the difficult task of securing his place elsewhere in the paddock, as Sainz joins Ford as part of their ambitious push for greater success.

Driver Reactions:
Carlos Sainz:
“I’m really excited to join Ford for the 2025 season. After leaving Ferrari, this is a fresh start, and I’m looking forward to working with the team and Nico. We have a lot of work ahead, but I’m confident we can make it a successful partnership.”

Nico Hülkenberg:
“Having Carlos as my teammate will be fantastic. He’s a great driver, and I’m looking forward to pushing each other on track. Ford’s future is bright, and we’re ready to take on the challenge together.”

Jak Crawford:
“It’s a tough break for me, but I remain determined to continue in Formula 1. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished with Ford so far, and I’ll keep pushing forward to find a new opportunity.”

Team Principal's Statement:
“We are thrilled to welcome Carlos Sainz to the Ford family for 2025. Carlos’s experience and racecraft will be invaluable as we continue to build the team. We also want to thank Jak for his dedication and performance.”
