Formula 1 - 2024 Season

great race, lots of action, but bad for the championship
I'm not buying the bad for the championship bit too much, it always looked like such a big stretch to me for Norris to ever recover that 50 ish point deflicit.

Of course Norris should aim for that and should fight while there's still the smallest of chances . It's his job.

But for everyone else , and for the race covereages, they were just draging out hopes that should never have been there in the first place. Felt like manufactured tension to me.

the trend was showing verstappen stagnating and norris gaining and either side needed a big swing, but yeah verstappen was always the fave to win the drivers championship but i was hoping for a last race showdown like when button drove his heart out in brazil 2009 which ironically was the second to last race of that season because button didnt want a last race showdown hehe

If it came down to 2021 showdown like Max and Lewis; I don't think fans of F1 could ask for a better season.
 
Alpine looks to sign Franco Colapinto after his impressive performance in his few F1 races which means Doohan's promotion for 2025 could be undone.

doubt it, seems like the plan is for colapinto to replace perez
 
I get another opportunity this year to do another meet and greet with Oscar.
Though this time I need to send in pre-approved questions for him to answer.

Do you guys have anything in mind you'd like me to ask?
 
Max Verstappen has won his fourth World Championship in Las Vegas with two races remaining in the season. 4 Championships in 4 season, this man is incredible.
 
Formula 1 announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors (GM) to support bringing GM/Cadillac as the 11th team to the Formula 1 grid in 2026.
the andretti name wasnt enough (and michael andretti wasnt even an owner of the team bearing his name anyway), but they wont have an engine ready so it might be a weird cadillac powered by amg mercedes or some rebadging of honda or whatever. i read that gm has bought some renault power unit ip

Thought it said Ferrari power till 2028.
 
Cadillac doesn't have any power unit deal in place yet. Ferrari is already supplying Haas, and Audi is a new entrant so they cannot be compelled to provide engines to Cadillac. Honda, on the other hand, can be forced to do it.

In other news: I really like the 4D chess Lando did during Sprint today. This late switch gives Piastri more buffer against Sainz. In fact in an unlikely event of Piastri winning the race and Leclerc getting no points, Piastri would gain a tiny chance to jump ahead of Leclerc in the final race of the season.

Why wouldn't Ferrari provide for another team? Are they afraid a new team would beat them? It's not going to hurt Ferrari, just give them more money. Andretti has a 5 decades long relationship with Ferrari, I don't see them saying no. Andretti has said they aren't even talking to other potential providers.
