    It is but they’re shutting it down and becoming a Mercedes customer.

    Recent performances are in spite of the Renault engine.

    Leclerc looks absolutely rapid. Being able to use a brand new car after the nightmare in quali was probably a blessing

    McLaren should have just pitted first. 2 seconds taken out of his lead with an epic pit stop

    You have to factor in where he would end up had he pitted earlier. He had time to give in order to come into clean air and avoid any potential collision/safety car shenanigans.

    There’s definitely some 2021 shenanigans going to happen here. Magnussen has already wiped the fastest lap from Norris and he’s probably been told to cause a safety car at some point

    Renault have always worked out of the Enstone factory.

    Jim is referring to Oakes taking over as TP in August.

    Next season has got the potential to be an all-time great. The teams are finding the final bits of performance for these regulations so the field is going to become even tighter if anything.

    The f1 podcast I listen to has me wondering whether they’re being overly woke or I’m wrong. They keep pushing Tsunoda for Red Bull like he wouldn’t be an even shittier Perez. Has the guy ever done anything impressive ever?

    The Tsunoda love is just odd weeb stuff. He's alright over one lap but nothing special and ultimately just a Honda stooge.

    Tsunoda would be a disaster.

    Whether he does or doesn't get the seat will tell you how much sway Honda still have.

    Perez out, Lawson in.

    The amount of support for Tsunoda is baffling.

    Probably Hadjar up from F2 into the RB seat I guess.

    That’s an aggressive driving line up.

    I’d love to see K Mag in a big seat just for the madness that follows

    Spa removed from the '28 and '30 calender to allow potential new races in Argentina, Thailand, Rwanda or, and get this .. another Saudi race.

    I'm not sure it has ever really been good on a consistent basis, but the trend towards it being all a massive wealth flaunting endeavour twinned with modern reliability, increased complexity and billions of races has somewhat dulled the mystique and allure of it all.

    That said, they should probably cancel Spa indefinitely until they can provide a usable extreme wet tyre.

    The cars being the size of cruise liners is the main reason extreme wets don't work. Something of that size and weight creates an insane amount of spray. We even have drivers complaining about it when they're on inters now.

    Aye, all the torque to the rear just doesn't help. I'd go back to MotoGP but I'm not ready for a Honda without a Repsol livery.

    The drivers keep me onboard with F1, anyway. The grid's got so much talent in it.

    To be fair to Pirelli here, the wet tyre actually works exceptionally well, which is itself the problem. It removes a crazy amount of water from the surface. The downside is that gets chucked all over the car behind you. The cars being ground effect and getting loads of water into the gubbins there is what I think is the bigger problem and why there is just no running in the full wets.

    If they clip a mud flap on the rear wing that deflects the water back onto the racing line. Problem solved.

    Yeah that's my point. It's the cars that are the problem, not the tyres.

    The 2026 mockups are quite noticeably smaller than the current cars. Which you'd think is a good thing, but they're still bigger/heavier than 2021. So this wet tyre issue isn't going away. But they're binning off Spa for Saudi II so who cares.

    I was just thinking yesterday it's getting close to the time to make a 2025 thread. Get your subtitle suggestions in now. It's the exact same 24 races as last season so I'm struggling for inspiration.
