    I couldn`t agree more,at least one more win for Fernando would be great.But I think it would be two seasons or more for a car to be developed sufficiently to win a World Championship for constructor and/or driver.

    I agree,hope Newey has not bitten off more than he can chew,so to speak,although he`s been around for a long time now and knows how F1 works.Also ,not a word anywhere as to what`s happened to Mike Krack
    By the way,I would imagine Lance will be in the second car !

    Two more races weekends then we will see what the pecking order looks like next season. Will be fascinating.
    I have my fingers crossed for Lando as the alternative is probably Max. Whatever happens I will enjoy the show. I hope the WDC isn't settled till the last race. Only 9 times this century has it come down to the last race.

    I’d like Oscar to Win.
    It won’t happen , but that’s what I’d like .

    What I dearly want to happen is for it to go to the last race , and all three to still have a chance .

    Looks very likely that it will not be settled till next weekend.

    Red Bull Racing's longtime motorsport advisor Helmut Marko will step down from his role at the end of 2025. Red Bull confirmed the news on Tuesday,

    Who`s next Max`s dad?

    Yeah, he probably wants to be the next advisor taking helmets position. He`d really love that.

    Time will tell. I am sure we will be in for a few surprises next year.

    Was doing a comparison of Senna’s McLaren car weight when he won his third world title in the MP4/6 to Lando’s title winning McLaren.

    The weight of the MP4/6 was approx 505kg excluding driver. Say Senna weighed approx 70kg that makes a combined weight of 575kg

    The weight of the current McLaren with Lando in is 800kg so basically a 200kg+ difference .

    these new cars are supposedly 30kg lighter. Add losing another 150kg then racing might improve.
