F1 2026

I have watched 2 Horner interviews - the Autosport shortened one and then last night a near 2hr High Performance one. I have pre-ordered his book as I am sure it is going to be a great read, albeit one sided obviously.

But watching the High Performance one last night, I was reminded how I miss the oke being on F1 weekend TV. He really needs to come back into the paddock in whetever role appeals to him.

Rosberg was paid to leave and then they got old slow Bottas.

I think you need to check your sources.

I don't know why you so angry. I am agreeing with you when you said FIA rigged championships.

I don't know why you think I'm angry.

Careful, another brit on the grid and they're going to realise it's a British sport.

What I don't understand of you is you claim rigging, but you don't seem to understand how rigging works.
Do you think if they payed him to leave they will let him tell the world?
Just the same as hammertime suddenly looked like the car was so much faster. It was all rigged.

That's what you get for entertaining a troll.

Again, you the one that claimed FIA are rigging championships.
They threw away the guy that beat their world champion against the script. The world had a different script the previous decade.

F2 boss casts Lawson and Tsolov verdict as F1 2027 decision looms

Should Racing Bulls stick with Liam Lawson, or is his time up?

www.planetf1.com

Nikola Tsolov is “ready” to join the Formula 1 grid, according to Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel. His verdict comes at a time when Racing Bulls is plotting out its F1 2027 line-up.

However, Michel also points out that Tsolov’s readiness does not mean he will be on the F1 2027 grid, as Liam Lawson and rookie teammate Arvid Lindblad are also on form. Michel said he is glad it is not his decision to make on which two get the seats for next season.

I will never understand some people. You entertain stupid delusional people and then you're surprised when they crap on the living room carpet.

Nah, the difference is the enormous logical leap your theory requires. The rigging was there for everyone to see and was even admitted.

The issue as I see it is that for so long, Racing Bulls (either as Torro Rosso or Alpha Tauri), while still a sister team to Red Bull, were fighting as a fully fledged, 'independent' F1 team and not as a feeder to the main Red Bull stable. This, according to Dr Marko, has changed from the start of this year. The plan to revert then back to being a feeder team and expose Red Bull juniors to life in F1 is bad news for someone like Liam Lawson who hs spent several seasons in F1 now and is no longer considered a junior driver. And with other teams having their own feeder teams and academies with loads of quality to choose from, a seat for Lawson at another team is not a given, just because he has expierience.

If Racing Bulls sticks to this mantra, then Lawson could find himself on the chopping block to make way for Tsolov. If not next year, then probably for 2028. After that, it stands to reason then that Lindblad would then be then next in the firing line.

It is a brutal way of conducting business. With Verstappen not going anywhere and Hadjar finding his feet, times appear to be tough for Red Bull juniors.

Yes but for that hobby you need some class and not the emotional maturity of a 5 year old.
Craig had to put me on ignore as he had so many posts removed and was on his last warning for the gross language he used when trying to argue with me.
Now he is just a little ankle biter, displaying his butthurt everywhere I posts.

I wonder how long is going to take the Brits to realise it's no longer a British sport. It's now an Arab sport.

Well it could be if we go back to V8 Petrol but the British Mafia is not going away

Isn't Britain an Arab country now?

The crucial phrase in the regulation stated that "any lapped cars may now overtake the leader."

Yup, don't leave any kids at the park is now open to interpretation.
