That prick was gifted his first and I’ll never change my mind on that one. Was good to see him humbled again this weekend even though he clinched. Red Bull with an all time colossal fuck up LOL
Was very surprised to see Merc be dominant last night, especially with Hamilton having a good enough car to do what he done. That thing was on rails!
Nice ! Don't forget Ford's partnership with RB in 2026.
General Motors reacts very pleased to entry as eleventh F1 team It has just been announced that Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors to enter as the eleventh team in 2026. General Motors is delighted.
Big news on Monday night: Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle to welcome an eleventh team to the grid in 2026. It concerns the project around Andretti, which will operate under the name Cadillac Formula 1 Team. The large concern General Motors is behind the team, reacts happily to the news and is already anticipating the entry.
"As the pinnacle of motorsport, F1 demands groundbreaking innovation and excellence. It is an honor for General Motors and Cadillac to join the world's premier racing series. We are committed to competing with passion and integrity to improve the sport for racing fans around the world," said Mark Reuss, president of General Motors.
“This is a global platform for us to demonstrate General Motors’ engineering expertise and technology leadership at a whole new level.” The team will most likely be on the grid in 2026, but General Motors will join as an engine supplier at a later date. General Motors itself states that it will be building its own F1 vehicles and power units entirely by the end of the decade.
Mario Andretti, the 1978 world champion, will join the team's board as managing director. "My first love was Formula 1 and now, 70 years later, the F1 paddock is still my favorite place. I'm absolutely excited about Cadillac and Formula 1," says Andretti. "To still be involved at this stage in my life... I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming."
Boy that was an ultimate “fuck you” to Michael Andretti. Glad to see GM in it for the future though. Wouldn’t be surprised when McLaren ditches Merc engines for GM’s when they get rolling too because of their close relationship in Indy. I’m excited to finally have an American team for a change because I damn sure don’t consider Haas an American team, they’re nothing but a Ferrari pawn even though I’m a Ferrari fan now (Leclerc and Hamilton are my favorites).
I bet we see Ricciardo in one of the seats due to his experience and popularity here in America and I bet we see Colton Herta in the other seat hopefully. I’m pretty pumped for this move if it plays out that way
Red Bull must have changed something because they sucked in the sprint then before you know it Max was fastest in Q1-3 and even Perez was top ten. What a clusterfuck today with that mirror flying off at the end of the straight at the FiA sitting on their ass until Sainz and Hamilton get a puncture because of it. That was plain out stupid leaving that out there for anyone to run it over in a passing zone then waiting until someone finally hits it to bring out a safety car. That really cost both drivers for their stupidity of not calling a SC or VSC to get it, it's not like it was something heavy. Doesn't take but a few seconds to send a guy running out to grab it on a VSC then get them going again. One more week until we see a lot of changes for 2025 and see Sainz in a Williams and Hamilton in red! I can't wait
Leclerc goes all out for F1 constructors title: "Anything is possible" Charles Leclerc has not given up on the dream of winning the F1 constructors' title with Ferrari. The Monegasque acknowledges that it will be difficult, but wants to go for it.
Partly thanks to his second place in the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Qatar, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has kept the battle for the constructors' championship alive. Ferrari is still 21 points behind McLaren , but that can be bridged in the last race in Abu Dhabi. After the race in Qatar, Leclerc promises that he will do everything he can to ensure that there can be a big party in Maranello in the final race. "It is difficult, because we are all very close together. So I think it will be very exciting, but that is nice," explains the 27-year-old driver. "21 points is still a lot, but anything is possible. We are going to give it our all."
Leclerc has plenty to celebrate with his second place in Qatar. The joy is especially great because he had not expected this to happen beforehand. "I am very happy. If someone had asked me beforehand whether I would sign for second place, I would have done so immediately, given our weekend. Especially considering the circuit, because the character of our car does not suit this track well," explains the eight-time race winner. "I knew it would be difficult this weekend compared to McLaren, but we even managed to take points from them. We will fight all the way to the last race - next week in Abu Dhabi."
Charles Leclerc or Lewis Hamilton who will be the numero uno?
There is a chance Ferrari wants to focus more on a structure with one clear leader, like in the days of Schumacher. I hope it is Leclerc he has the same age as Verstappen (27) he has to be at top at least once, Hamilton in a supporting role would be best.
Bernie Ecclestone (94) sells expensive and unique collection of Formula 1 cars: 'I don't want to leave them to my wife' Modified: Today, 13:26Today, 12:38in Autosport
Ever dreamed of owning a rare Formula 1 car? Now might be your chance, as F1 icon Bernie Ecclestone is selling his entire collection.
The now 94-year-old British businessman was the big boss of the premier class of racing between 1987 and 2017. It gradually earned him the nickname 'F1 Supremo'.
Over the years, Ecclestone built up a fantastic collection of cars. The value: 500 million pounds (604 million euros). Among them are many beautiful Ferraris, including one that Michael Schumacher once drove. There is a reason why he is putting everything up for sale now.
Where are Bernie Ecclestone's F1 cars going? "I like to know where the cars are going and not leave them to my wife when I'm gone," the Briton told The Telegraph . "I've been collecting these cars for over 50 years and I've always only bought the best examples. While many other collectors have turned to sports cars over the years, my passion has always been Grand Prix and Formula One cars. A Grand Prix and particularly a Formula One car is far more important than any other car because they are the pinnacle of motorsport. All the cars I've bought over the years have a fantastic history and are rare works of art."
Was glad to see them win it, they have really got their shit together lately and will be hard to beat next year. They have Red Bull on the back foot now, if Red Bull doesn't make strides this offseason they are going to be left in the dust until the new car hits the scene at the very least. Honestly I hope they melt down haha
RB (the junior not the senior team) has the best looking one with the all white. I thought Red Bull had the best ones when they went white but I see they stayed the same with the same ol boring look. RB definitely wins the day today
I don't like all that white in the Ferrari even though they're my team now. Too much, should have left the white for the wings IMHO.
Williams didn't change much but that subtle white pinstripe around the nose stands out and I like that.
Everyone else is boring to me other than these 3. I can't wait!
Very curious about Lawson and the 5 other rookies Dixie. A record of 6 rookies in F1.
Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard has revealed during the RacingNews365 Podcast that Liam Lawson has a very important moment ahead of him this season. The New Zealander can either make a name for himself, or see his Formula 1 career go up in smoke next to Max Verstappen .
This season, Lawson will be given a try alongside Verstappen. The 23-year-old New Zealander has only driven eleven Grands Prix in Formula 1 , but according to Red Bull's top brass, the man from Hastings has enough speed to be a good teammate for Verstappen, who wants to fight for his fifth consecutive world title next season.
Lawson's goal at Red Bull is clear: score points for the constructors' championship
Last year, Red Bull failed to bring the constructors' championship to Milton Keynes in addition to the drivers' championship. The Austrian team had to settle for third place, mainly due to the poor results of former Red Bull driver Sergio Pérez, who only managed to score 152 of the total 589 championship points for Red Bull.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli, 18, Mercedes. Oliver Bearman, 19, Haas. Liam Lawson, 23, Red Bull. Jack Doohan, 22, Alpine. Isack Hadjar, 20, Racing Bulls. Gabriel Bortoleto, 20, Sauber.
