Ferrari "blue" looks like bad. no other word for it. it looks bad.

with all the hype around it and they release that? its a shame.

and I agree Newey used the Hypercar as effective gardening leave so he can start with another team in the 2025 season. and it does not matter who that is, AM, Ferrari or Merc he will take that team a great deal forward.


Seb on track again will always be a joy to see.

now can we get to the cridge fest that is the Miami Race so we can get back to races at a normal time again please?

This is where Liberty Media reaches the "finding out" phase. They're an American listed company and therefore answerable to US congress.

Liberty should've just thrown STFU money into the pot for the current 10 teams and let Andretti in when the FIA first approved them. Now they have a deep hole.
 
I like this - Audi joining, Lewis moving to Ferrari, Newey leaving (maybe to another F1 team), Max potentially changing teams, many available seats for next year... it's the shake up F1 needs I reckon.

I’m with them all the way. Liberty want US bux but still want a little boys club.

Yeah I don't know about the anti-trust thing (isn't Haas American?), but I'm behind questioning the decision.

Why do the other teams even get a vote on who joins, it's like choosing who can compete against. That should be up to whoever runs the sport...

It’s an interesting development. Will have to see how it plays out.

I mean… they let an energy drink company enter but refuse a name that has good F1 history while allowing firms that can’t afford to have a spare chassis on the grid.

I suspect F1 will need to start thinking long and hard about changing how new teams enter the category or else it will essentially always be subject to such claims. The argument of having to add value is ridiculous.

In theory, they shouldn't need it, now that they have Dorilton Capital's millions behind them. What they may lose though is goodwill in America if they sack an American driver.

Apparently, he is a big reason why they have a lot of their US sponsors (Gulf, Kraken, Duracell and Stephens are all US-based).

$$$$$$$$$$$$

More teams that join means less money to go around. It is also in Liberty's best interests because if more teams join the others can then press Liberty to give them a bigger slice of the pie in order to spread more money around.

HUH? And here I thought the did not let them enter F1 but rather RB bought the Jaguar F1 team over.
Looks like I should watch more DTS.
 
All will be sorted soon.
Gunther is going to sue Haas till they are bankrupt and then Andretti will buy Haas.
