A great driver and great character I. The pita. Will be missed, it really is the changing of the guard this few years.

Saw a stat the other day, Max Verstappen is the first WDC since 1990 who never raced Michael Schumacher.

Well that was a great qualifying. And very happy for George!!

Well I didn’t see that one coming…

I expect we will be seeing Oscar Piastri signed at Alpine soon.

Alonso is still my fav by far… And the aston is nicest car to look at

I’d love Aston to do well if it wasn’t for both Strolls being absolutely unlikeable.

Someone was theorising on a podcast the other day that Lance Stroll will retire for the record of “most races entered” because Daddy will just keep finding Formula 1 until he wins something.

Interesting move by Alonso and personally a shame, I wanted Hulkenberg to get the drive.

Anyone following the Alpine drama?..…

So does Piastri go to McLaren? It looks like thats what he wants. Would Alpine be willing to take Daniel Riccardo as part of a deal to end their claim to Piastri?

Or do Alpine go for Alex Albon?

It’s all fun at this time of the year!

That seems to be the train of thought.

Danny Ric could possibly end up in McLarens formulae team, they only said he was contracted to them not in a F1 seat.

I don’t get why Ric would go back to what is essentially the team he abruptly left. They’ve rebadged, but it’s still Renault underneath the new paint. He’s burnt his bridges, would they even want him back?

Love the spec savers response under the post from Piastri.

Seems there will be some interesting moves this season.

lol yeah that was funny,
Indeed will be interesting to see what happens

If it’s his best shot at a half decent seat he might not have a real choice and if they want a decent driver the options aren’t endless. Although Ocon has enough experience if they could find another rookie.

I love that Fernando has moved becomes he wants to go to at least 43!

Rumours of Gasly to Alpine are interesting, would make sense since he’s never gonna get a Red Bill drive again and 2 French drivers in the French team would be fitting.

Yeah that would be a interesting move, Alpine would look good with 2 French drivers.

Bet he’s kicking himself for already committing to alphatari

Apparently contract has a get out, they will release him if a better performing team comes in for him.

I’m not sure I can see Danny Ric going to AT though.

Nah I can’t see that happening either.

I think me might end up driving in a different McLaren team, FormulaE maybe or IndyCar
