It's a baby step forward and may mean absolutely nothing but Carlos Sainz was the quickest in the test morning session in Abu Dhabi .

Sainz must have a giant chip on his shoulder.

That Ferrari comment should be at the top of the F1 2025 thread so we can see if your prediction is right/wrong. I think Hamilton on that team (now) will dominate, but I am also sad for Sainz as he great driver that won’t do much at Williams.

I already have a last longer/higher points total for Charles Leclerc over Bone Baby Hamilton for 2025.
The Bone will have moments of brilliance (for an old fart) but Leclerc is Ferrari's future. IMHO |
Someone needs to post a poll on who we pick to be WDC in'25.

Ferrari to supply engines/transmissions to Cadillac for their first 2 years in F1 .

Seems he has learned at his dad's feet. Jos was just as difficult, just not as fast. I will give him his due on skill, will not cut him a break on being a dick. |

Carlos Sainz admits he knows he won't be fighting for podiums or wins for a year or two . He's looking at the challenge of building a winning team . I hope he can over achieve and be competitive sooner than that .

Since Gunther has gone it's a much more pleasant place to work and people aren't so afraid of going for the brave more risky solutions Wouldn't discount GM as they have Pat Symonds and Nick Chester leading the technical team, both know how to win championships |

Motorsport is expensive but F1 is the most expensive by huge amounts

Team boss James Vowles is worried Williams’ numerous crashes, especially late in the season, could tip them over the budget cap. “If a wheel hits the wall, you can almost certainly expect a million in damage. Because then the wing is also broken, the suspension, the wheel rim, the floor, the sidepod,” Vowles told*Auto Motor und Sport. Williams €13,839,600 Red Bull €6,148,400 (check the story to see where most of this came from!) Ferrari €4,892,600 Aston Martin €4,375,000 Mercedes €4,337,600 Racing Bulls €3,686,200 Sauber €2,924,400 Haas €2,666,200 Alpine €2,371,000 McLaren €2,347,200 |
I'm always surprised to see how a wing gets damaged yet they can still remove and mount a new one in seconds. It seems the mounting points are very stout and well designed.
|
I think they’d have to be with the force put onto them. It be neat to see them up close.

I just pointed out that he usually gets his way in turn one because he is a bully and others usually back down from the bully. I did not mean to suggest that was OK in any fashion. |
Max is a dick and a bully but not many drivers win championchips without being a bully. Senna was a bully, schumacher was a bully, prost was a bully, hamilton is a bully, rosberg in his championchip year was a bully to hamilton.
Kimi and button were nice guys. Norris is a nice guy, but did he win the championchip with the best car of the field? |
Thought you guys would like to see how many employees a top F1 team has, this is Redbull
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1734004146.jpg Not shown are the countless external companies that will support the team ie designing, manufacturing parts, providing services etc which I'm sure will be around about the same amount of people again |
