The Circus will miss Steiner..

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

So no new drivers for 2024?

 

[Khelandros]

Car reveal dates. Some are still missing from the list.

Team	Date
Red Bull	February 15th
Mercedes	February 14th
Ferrari	February 13th
McLaren	February 14th
Aston Martin	February 12th
Alpine	February 7th
Williams	February 5th
Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team	February 8th
Stake (Sauber)	February 5th
Haas	February 11th

Edit: That should be everyone. Haas is set for the 11th but I've seen posting of that date being tentative.

So no new drivers for 2024?

No and no one switched teams from the end of last year either, which never happened before. Of course Ricciardo took de Vries' seat halfway through last season so at least it's not the exact same lineup from the start of last season.

Many contracts will end this season so there should be some decent shakeup for next year.

 

[JoVel]

The Spanish GP moving from Barcelona to a street track in Madrid should be announced tomorrow.

 

[Albatros]

From meh to shit for no good reason.

From meh to shit for no good reason.

This whole trend of permanent tracks being replaced by street tracks is incredibly annoying, but it makes sense from an attending fan's perspective. Most of these tracks aren't in very convenient locations and Barcelona-Catalunya is one of the worst examples of this

Of course you can also show off your city with a street track in a way you can't with a permanent track.

 

[JoVel]

That looks awful.

 

[MXD]

I'll just call them Alpha Tauri

Leclerc signs new Ferrari contract extension 'beyond 2024'

Ferrari have agreed a fresh contract extension with Charles Leclerc, meaning that the Monegasque will continue to race for the team beyond the end of 2024.

Andretti team's bid to enter Formula 1 for 2025 or 2026 turned down by the sport but door left ajar for 2028

F1 rules out 2025 or 2026 for the American Andretti outfit but keeps door open for the 2028 season; Andretti Cadillac strongly disagrees with the decision; F1 says presence of an 11th team would not, on its own, provide value to the Championship

Lando Norris: McLaren driver signs extended multi-year F1 deal to stay at team beyond 2025 as he targets world title

McLaren secure hot property Lando Norris to a new extended term beyond the end of his previous deal, which was due to expire in 2025; Norris tells Sky Sports while he did hold little discussions with rivals, he is more convinced than ever he can win the world title where he is

All I can say is that these 10 teams better sign on for life because there could come a day the grid is going to need a team or two and maybe they won't be there then.

I don't like the greed.

 

[JoVel]

Hamilton has been rumored to Ferrari at least half a dozen times over the years, but it seems very serious for the first time....

 

[Albatros]

Probably true, his last chance to drive a Ferrari and it's unclear whether Mercedes will be any better.

 

[Satan]

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Sainz to Sauber in 2025 in advance of Audi coming on board, likely (had been rumoured already). Lots of eyes on that Mercedes seat. Wonder if Ocon finally gets that shot.

I think that's between him and Albon. Too early for Antonelli. There's no way Vesti BEGINS with Mercedes.

Part 1 is now official, now just waiting for Ferrari's announcement.

And there it is, what a wild day.

 

[Canadienna]

I think F1 could drum up more fan interest if they didn't allow drivers to sign with a new team until their current contract was up. Have a Free Agent system.

I get that there's less spots and drivers want to ensure they have a seat, but it would make announcements like Hamilton to Ferrari more exciting if it was for this upcoming season.

Just my 2c.

 

[max21]

Pretty wild news tbh

 

[MD thaivuN]

the Ferrari team radio will be legendary

 

[JoVel]

the Ferrari team radio will be legendary

For purely sadistic reasons I'm kind of hoping Hamilton doesn't bring Bono with him, but just goes with Sainz's current race engineer.

For purely sadistic reasons I'm kind of hoping Hamilton doesn't bring Bono with him, but just goes with Sainz's current race engineer.

The whiniest driver since radio messages started getting broadcast who's been the whiniest driver despite being the most successful driver ever, on the most successful team ever, the team that was built entirely around him, moving to a perpetual clownshow that never gets strategy calls right and expects their drivers to be their own engineers? How will this go? Question?

Can't wait, personally.
