Oh well he's still at Merc for this year and all I'm interested in is that in a fortnight from now the new cars, or more likely display models of them will be shown, then the testing at Bahrain shortly after that with the lead up to the race weekend.
Apart from the leading teams it'll be interesting in how Komatsu will tackle his new role at Haas.

Impressed with the internet's response to FOM's actions denying Andretti Global's application. Some of yesterday's comments...

"When several teams are little more than billboards on wheels that are there to leach off F1 brand recognition, it's ridiculous to make this point about Andretti. Actually most of these points are utterly ridiculous."

"There isn't another racing series on the planet that would view more cars as less value nor is there one that would deny one of the greatest names/brands/families in motorsports around the world."

"Okay. What about assessing the 8th 9th and 10th teams being uncompetitive?"

"I have to say, #Andretti is already looking way more professional than Haas has ever been."

"Apparently Andretti don’t provide enough value to F1?"
Sponsors Andretti work with:
AutoNation Rev: $28Billion (2021)
DHL Rev: €81Billion (2021)
Hewlett Packard Rev: $2Trillion (2021)
Haas title sponsor MoneyGram rev?
$900Million

I just hear from a (private source)! what LEW gets from Ferrari in 2025 (hold your breath)!

If this is true ? It's a real shame for motorsports !

And for what ?

To be beaten by Charlie !

Can't wait to see that !!!

So all Hammy news aside and Beatles vs Stevie Wonder showoff (Stevie Wonder has my vote, I definately have more Stevie Wonder records than Beatles records....), Nyck de Vries has lost a lawsuit regarding paying back his loan with interest to a modern day loanshark (investment company).
He had a deal that he had to pay back money including interest and half his earnings in F1 if he'd get a seat in F1 before 2023. He drove for Williams in 2022

https://racingnews365.com/de-vries-f...y-lawsuit-loss

I think he's going to appeal.
Not really important for this topic though, we're never gonna see Nyck again in F1.

Making it in motorsports requires a lot of money, and I'm not surprised investor groups scoop in to try to take advantage of the situation. Gotta read what you sign, all those words are important.
