Money ? You can never get enough of it (!)

Should have been the greatest soft drink of all time Sundrop

But the EU and 3/4's of 'Merica can't get this local southern favorite

Hate it for you

I don't think so...

LEW is used to win with his Benz spaceship , and look where is he now ?
So far It's 7/1 for Charlie at Ferrari (!)

I prefer empirical evidence and facts. The analysis of the actually pace over the entire season proves MB had an advantage so they had the faster car. There is no way to refute those facts. Max was and is just the better, faster driver over the course of the season and even though MB cheated to crash into him on multiple occasions he won fair and square. On the other hand, how much money did Ham and McLaren need to pay the FIA to gift ham a WDC in 2008 when he not only didn’t earn it they covered up a known cheating scandal and then Ham disappeared while Vet stomped all over him for 4 years. And Vet was only a decent driver at best.

Direct from RaceFans and analysis of entire season.

“Based on these figures, the overall conclusion is that Mercedes were…quicker than Red Bull on average over the course of the season.”

But going to Ferrari makes that impossible I think. No one in Ferrari gets Ferrari stock afaik.

stanger things have happened, it could all start with Max leaving and then who knows what, with all the internal power struggle.

but yeah i agree, since Ralf hasn't said anything it's not going to happen.

I hope he takes all the McLaren ideas and not only copies them but improves. Basically the McLaren is a RB copy anyway with the new stuff Rob Marshal would have implemented on the RB car had he not left except the McLaren has been dominant in a way the RB car never was because Per struggled mighty to do much with it.

Yeah . The KitKat man is just an average driver , so nothing special and he crashed too much .

I think MAX made a mistake by not moving to Aston or Mercedes in the 2026 season.
The 2026 Ford PU will be a disaster and Pierre Waché s@cks to design the new 2026 active aero.
As we know , MAX is very royal to Red Bull . But that won't help him to get a competitive car .
Too bad from Rob Marshal , the man is a combination of extraordinary intellectual power and creativity, often resulting in F1 groundbreaking inventions .

Hopefully my friend . But for the 2026 season , I fear the worst.

On the other hand , from now on the real race tracks are coming with the high speed corners.

According to Newy, Aston Martin's "tools are weak".

Both their simulator and wind tunnel don't work properly.

Except that the first time they used the new wind tunnel on the 25 has resulted in the first actual upgrades that are not downgrades in years. With Fernando getting to Q3 twice in a row. Actually both Fernando and Lance in Q3 in Imola.

Fernando is of course the unluckiest man in F1 at the moment but that surely can’t last forever…. Surely…. Please. 🙏

Newey isn’t working on the 25 at all other than the occasional lunchtime meeting.

Be positive and think beyond the box, those natters between ANT and MAX mean nothing, how does ANT know how the '26 PU will be quick, TW fills the kids' head with all sorts fairy tales and you and I know the real Wolff for what he really is behind the scenes an expert in cheap tackiness and lies.

Here's a good one...pole, fastest race lap, winner...

As I said before the bookies odds are only based on the current drivers championship points.
