Hopefully ricciardo gets to have Perez's car. I assume those announcements will come very soon.

Bruh I feel like at this point even I'M brainwashed to believe Perez will keep the seat for next year as much as the RB camp has said it will be the case over the last month or two.



I know people probably think I'm nuts, but I still want Yuki to have the seat if he loses it... I'm still not convinced Ricciardo is it. He can't string together a good weekend without a car that's just 100% on point as far as setup. He's not adaptable enough IMO.

The one argument some miscer made that redbull drink sales in Mexico supercede his driving capability may be 100% true, and he'll keep the seat for that reason alone as the Mexican fans seemingly love him.

I'd like to see ANY driver besides Perez in that car. I don't think it will be Yuki, especially after hearing franz tost's opinion of Yuki in the most recent interview he did lol.

Liam Lawson would be an INCREDIBLE pick. Get a solid rookie in there - not to beat max - but to just be in Q3 with him and stand on every podium..... Something Sergio struggled to do.

But yeah, maybe the Mexican redbull sales will keep him in place for another year

I'm going through final standings, Alonso finishes the season narrowly in 4th. God damn. Ahead of both Ferrari drivers.

Alex ALBON is the strongest teammate MOGGER by % with his 27 points vs. Logan's 1 point (rookie, so expected)

Fernando is second strongest teammate MOGGER on 206 points vs stroll's 74 points (not a rookie lmfao)

Hopefully next season there's way more than 3 race winners.

My wish is that Aston puts it together with their blank check budget and gives goatlonso his ride to the top. My second choice would be Ferrari on top. But Max's implied odds for the 2024 championship are 78%, and that seems low to me. Adrian newey the GOAT.

On a grid of 20 racers, Logan sergeant managed to finish 21st in the driver's championship

RBR should take Alonso for a 1yr deal and give us what we all want to see. I bet Max would be up for the challenge as well.
Then take in Lawson for 2025.

Not sure if AM can be competive over a whole season, even if they come out the gates with a good car again. Same for Ferrari. As long as they dont replace their whole race ops and strategy team, they will 100% fukk up and cant compete with professionals like at RBR and Merc.

IMO they should hire Franz Tost as a consultant to set them straight. The man is absolutely brutally honest. What a legend:



From PlanetF1.com:
Dass uns Alonso noch überholt, ist ein einfaches No-Go. Das haben wir vermurkst, weil die Herren Techniker, die stundenlang vor den Computern sitzen, es nicht hinbekommen haben, die Strategie auszurechnen, die letztendlich funktioniert."
