Bottas and Zhou to leave Kick Sauber as team confirm decision to part ways​

Yea both nice guys but it’s time for some seats to be freed up and neither have made a convincing argument for keeping them. It’ll be cool having 4 new rookie drivers next year:

Kimi Antonelli @ Mercedes
Jack Doohan @ Alpine
Oil Bearman @ HAAS
And now…

Gabriel Bortoleto @ Sauber

All have shown good potential, will be great seeing what they can do

I'm glad we're getting new blood and teams aren't afraid to take risks. I guess with teams on better financial footing, they can afford to do this.

They have 1 season with them as it goes Audi the next year with all new focus and direction. That car is not getting updated.

asking for a friend.

NASCAR and Indy races seems to be good old boy networks and fans.

F1 racing, is it really a bunch of uptight driver entities. Kind like Budweiser (NASCAR) to Dom Perignon (F1).

Going to Las Vegas this weekend courtesy of Red Bull to enjoy the event.

F1 must tune these cars down to the ounce of weight.

From the article above:

“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.”

@dsio - how about we just change the thread title to The F1 Thread?
Instead of making a new one every year?

We are up to page 38 for the 2024 season, I think each year should start fresh with a new thread. Keeps it tidy.

Yeah at least something about F1 should be ordered, neat & tidy without any loose ends, mysterious goings on, contradictions, unruly behavior, and uncalled for bullshit! 🤣
