Racing: 2024 Formula 1 Season

[PanniniClaus]

McLaren's first constructors since 1998. That really hit me when they said that.

Hakkinen and Coulthard.

Lot's of stuff going on, on and off the track but that was a heck of a season overall.

Not a big fan of Tsunoda, but giving the seat to Lawson over him would be a joke. One of the most overrated "prospects" on the grid.

If Formula 1 wants to go back to Africa, then Rwanda probably makes the most sense right now. We'll see of this works or not.

I think Rwanda and its neighboring areas have some of the most beautiful landscape on this planet, so there's that.

I used to live in Uganda, very close for a period to the border with Rwanda. You are absolutely correct. Beautiful place.

Sounds very much like another race organized by Qatar.

Theo Pourchaire and Zane Maloney are both set to leave the Sauber Academy, with the young drivers about to embark on new ventures after graduating from the development programme.

Is it technically 2025 season now, or still 2024?

 

[JoVel]

Pourchaire probably makes it into F1 if he chooses any other academy, a decision he would've made when he was like 15 or something. Tough world.

*2026

 

[Albatros]

Without being a party to the Concorde Agreement Cadillac to my understanding is now in principle free to splash the cash as much as they want to, would be silly to wait until the contract is signed and limitations kick in. Start pushing the car now like no tomorrow, and for that you need a driver, someone with F1 experience.

[JoVel]

One thing is for sure, RB, AlphaTauri or whatever they go by, will have the loudest driver pairing next year.
