I wonder how long before he comes out as trans-something, looks like he got serious identity problems.

MB & the sponsors will be ecstatic because it will be another first for F1.

I wouldn't pass that as something impossible. As he fades in relevancy along with Mercedes. Him and Toto will probably come out an announce that they have signed Louise Hamilton as their first female F1 driver for a full season.
 
I enjoy seeing Hamilnaai every Friday on race weekend
The kak he wears makes me laugh
emo dude of note LOL

to balance the scales I'll add Stroll to the mix, few things in F1 are as satisfying is seeing Hamilton or Stroll have a shyte race

Yeah, Stroll is an annoying character purely because he is only there because his dad owns the team.
 
A somewhat ominous sign for DeVries: https://the-race.com/formula-1/what-alphatauri-seat-fit-means-for-ricciardo-and-de-vries/

"Daniel Ricciardo has had a seat fit for AlphaTauri’s Formula 1 car as part of his 2023 Red Bull role.

It comes in the context of one of AlphaTauri’s two incumbent drivers, Nyck de Vries, having a difficult start to his rookie season. The two situations may be entirely independent of each other. But ahead of a triple-header of tracks De Vries knows well, the pressure appears to be increasing.

His reserve responsibilities are quite sparse, as he is only expected to be present for eight grands prix this year in normal circumstances. But when he is on-site, Ricciardo is believed to offer cover for AlphaTauri as well as the senior team. And this is believed to be why he has been in AlphaTauri’s Faenza factory for a seat fit. ...

The only reason a reserve driver option having a seat fit at AlphaTauri has gained attention is the context of De Vries’s rookie season. De Vries landed his AlphaTauri seat after scoring points on a shock F1 debut last year in the Italian Grand Prix, where he only replaced Alex Albon at Williams on Saturday morning. But at the start of his first full season in F1, De Vries has been comprehensively bested by third-year driver Yuki Tsunoda.

The 2023 AlphaTauri has not been an easy car to drive, lacking load under braking in particular, which has made it awkward to deal with on corner entry. But in tricky circumstances De Vries has not been able to match Tsunoda’s performance so far.

He’s 0.328% slower than Tsunoda on average in qualifying, and 4-1 down on head-to-heads. The difference is also clear in races. De Vries has a best finish of 14th (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia) while Tsunoda has two 10th places and has finished 11th three times. De Vries has only made it to Q2 twice, in Australia and Miami, and crashed twice in Azerbaijan in qualifying and in the race, which he called a “very silly” error. ... "
 
People need to move on from Ricciardo already. Comparing a rooking to his teammate who's been there for 3 years is retarded. Ricciardo as a seasoned driver was dominated by his teammate at McLaren, where's the head to head comparison?
 
Pirelli to introduce new specification tyres from British GP: https://racingnews365.com/exclusive-pirelli-to-introduce-new-specification-tyres-from-british-gp

"... Pirelli plans to introduce a new specification of Formula 1 tyre from the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, RacingNews365 can exclusively reveal.

Every season, teams provide a projection of their expected performance levels through the following year's championship, with Pirelli then designing a tyre capable of performing to those loads and specifications.

However, the expected performance increase in 2023 was greater than initially predicted, evidenced by the pole position time in Miami of a 1:26.841 being nearly two seconds quicker than in 2022, placing higher stresses on the tyres.

As such, RacingNews365 understands that Pirelli are set to introduce reinforced tyres capable of dealing with the higher than expected loads at Silverstone and for the remainder of the 2023 season.

It is understood that this specification of tyre will be the one that is raced in the 2024 season.

There are no safety concerns about the integrity of the tyres, with RacingNews365 understanding that the FIA has been notified of Pirelli's intentions. ..."

Mercedes upgrades: What to expect from W14 changes at Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola: https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/1...changes-at-emilia-romagna-grand-prix-in-imola

"... Are Mercedes ditching their 'zero-sidepod' concept?

As early as the Bahrain GP, then technical director Elliott said of new planned sidepods: "It won't be the same as other people's and it won't be the same as we've got, it'll be different. "We have got a very different sidepod coming - I say very different, a different sidepod that's coming."
So yes, we can be pretty sure the sidepods are going to look different, but plenty of mystery remains around exactly what form they will take. ...


What other changes will there be?

Aside from the sidepods, Mercedes had largely been reluctant to share much information about what would be changing, but Wolff gave his most detailed answer at the Miami Grand Prix earlier in May.

"What we are doing is we're introducing a new bodywork and we're introducing a new floor and we're doing a new front suspension," he said. "That's a pretty large operation, a large surgery and so there is going to be a lot of learning." ..."
