This will be interesting, pairing a mental midget who cracks under pressure with a prissy prima donna who cries when things don't go his way and who is a mental midget with the Ferrari strategy team vs an unstoppable Max/Red Bull combo

What would be fuking hilarious is if Mick Schumacher gets an interim Mercedes drive next year if someone like Albon can't be brought over and he wins races in a car that Hamilton couldn't in his last three years at the team - and Ferrari remain a disaster

Seems likely lmao.

Max and friends are probably LOLing so hard at this situation.... Looks like we are winning literally every single race in 2024 BOYOS.

I think Sainz is better than Ferrari wants to act like he is.
He out performs LeClerc on the regular. They go back and forth depending on track and (I guess) how good of a job Ferrari does or doesn’t do on the car setup on any given weekend.

Sainz is more consistent but he isn't LeClerc quick. He did beat Norris and once Leclerc though. He is in his own league - not a mediocre driver, nor he is the ''one-generational'' talent. I see him as someone like Button - really great but there were always 3-4 guys better at the time.

2024 and 2025 will be likely RBR year. Hamilton is likely eyeing on the next regulations where Ferrari could nail it - at the moment they seem like the safest team to do so. Merc are demoralised and RBR is pure gamble whether they make a proper engine, Honda will start from scratch again which usually means they will suck for a while, Audi is with Sauber and there are rumours that they are quite behind with development, Renault is Renault.

Overall 2026 is likely to be either Ferrari or RBR who nail it. Merc need moral boost now after being shyt and their star driver leaving. They need someone to fill Hamilton's boots in order to not feel like a second-rate team and Alonso is their only option in this case.

Imagine Merc get Alonso for 2026, make a great car and he wins another world title. I won't be able to stop laughing at Hamilton.

"It’s been reported that Lewis Hamilton’s contract negotiations with Ferrari indicated that he wanted several agreements to ensure the future of Mission 44. And John Elkann proposes to develop Lewis Hamilton's empire. An agreement that could reach 400 million euros. 🚨‼️

The current agreement with Ferrari would be 80 million euros for 2025, plus an option for 2026. With about 20 million euros issued in the form of bonuses for Lewis’ initiatives.

The other part of the agreement: John Elkann proposes to create a joint investment fund with about 250 million euros, via the Exor family business, in order to invest in Lewis Hamilton's projects and transform him into an ambassador for his own brand. "

Lol Toto got really cucked by Elkann

Best thing Merc could propose to LH is to be a Niki Lauda at the Merc team. Knowing how Hamilton is a primadonna, an ambassador for a corporative team like Merc feels dry.

[Gringo12]

Ferrari canteen gonna be sick when they have to make hamilton a vegetarian gluten free pizza.


I wonder if hamilton ever thinks that maybe his strategy of hiring people of colour and women over the best qualified people is what contributed to Mercedes turning to ****

Looks to me that it's Ferrari that got cucked by Hamilton.

Dude gonna bring all the woke, DEI BS to Ferrari and completely destroy them. Expect rainbow Ferrari flags by the end of 2025.

Not sure if this is part of the deal. Elkann is to invest in his side bs only and Ferrari have so much brand obsessed politics that I doubt they would allow ghey stuff on their car. Not to mention the backlash from the tifosi if Hamilton tries to add wokeness into the team.

He would be kicked out without a second thought. Pretty sure LH knows that.
After all it is the same team that kicked out their star-driver Schumacher when he was still flourishing.

Latest rumors are that Albon has been offered a 3 year deal with Red Bull.
God DAMN I hope that’s true. Albon could do some damage in a good car in his current form.

Oh yeah.

Albon is a top-5 driver on the grid currently. Found his form.

[LargePeter]

Yep, since coming back he's been great in a garbage car

[Barteh]

Hard to judge because his teammate is dog chit. Maybe the car is pretty decent after all?

Nah. The cars performance is somewhere between him and Sargeant.
Alex is making it look much better than it is.

[Gringo12]

Alex was closer on average to verstappen in a redbull to what checo is

[ProSaibot]

True. Perez only looks better because the car is miles better compared to when Albon was in it.
Also Albon was a rookie back then. I expect him to be at least marginally better than his first stint at RBR.

I suspect he is somewhat close to a Sainz-tier driver currently

[Tuga88]

You guys think Albon is better than Sainz?

I'd pick him over Albon tbh, not sure why RB wouldn't go for him.

[ProSaibot]

Sainz > Albon easily BUT

1. Sainz Sr was a pain in the ass to work with last time his son was at Torro Rosso
2. Sainz is almost 100% locked to be with Audi Sauber for 2026. No point to hire a guy for a year

[R3L3NTL3SS]

You guys think Albon is better than Sainz?

I think currently Albon is better than Sainz, yes.

[LargePeter]

I think currently Albon is better than Sainz, yes.

Correct

[Tuga88]

Damn, they're trying to metoo Christian Horner.

[ProSaibot]

Damn, they're trying to metoo Christian Horner.

Yeah, some RBR employee

I still don't understand why anybody would hire a woman in their workspace. They create drama, gossip and play the victim when it benefits them.

We don't know what the case is but highly likely some sexual harassment accusations, and we know how those are -> Chick wanted the D and went 180 on the guy

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

The new sauber livery looks like ass lol.

Damn, they're trying to metoo Christian Horner.

I'd like to think society has snapped out of this bullchit and will ignore the accusations.

Clown world peaked in 2021, sucks for famous people who got slandered during that era.

[Gringo12]

There's no way red bull drop horner, surely. He IS redbull racing. they'd probably lose max as well. Not to mention drive to survive would also die without horner.

What could he have done that was so bad? They didn't even investigate Helmut marko after he was publicly racist against their own driver lol

I seem to remember some conflict between Marko and Horner after the previous owner of Red Bull died, with Max siding with Marko and not with Horner? I can't remember the specifics though but I remember there was something brewing.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

It would have to be something 100% legit/serious for them to let Horner go.
My guess is the third party “investigation” is to make everyone think they’re taking this sooper srs so when nothing happens to Horner no one can say anything.

OR this whole thing is a bull**** ass ploy to get Horner out. Recently it has come to light that Marko and Horner don’t exactly see eye to eye, and it sounds like Marko (for whatever unholy, absolutely fktarded reason) has more of the people that matter on his side in it all.

I’m just gonna say it…











…I like it brah lol.

The thing is they have to hire women now. Particularly for public facing companies like RB. I'm sure there's a certain gender ratio they have to adhere to.

Apparently he sent her pics? Must have been dik pics lol. Kind of a dumb mistake from Horner if that's the case, I'd have thought he'd be smarter than that.

Dude literally said checos name means big dick on live TV (drive to survive) . Why can't women just chill out and have fun instead of being kunts

[Barteh]

This dick pic thing's gotta be happening because of prior escalation and mutual flirting in like 99% of cases no? There's no way these dudes are just randomly sending that chit to female employees.
