I think they'd be crazy to give Ric yet another chance. He's proven multiple times that he's done. Hire him to do the publicity stuff, but he doesn't belong back on track. Checo has a huge following in the Americas and IMO, actually has some talent left. He's probably about done, but he's got another few years left, and they'd sell a ton of merchandise.

Checo has to go to Cadillac. I want lowrider suspension too. And a horn that plays the low rider theme. Marketing genius.

Just thinking of it, Charlie would know were his footing is, remember him diving into the Monaco marina after pushing Fred into the water after his win there.
At 40 YO LEW looking a bit shaky there..

Agreed. I played lacrosse growing up and D1 in college. I always went out with the mentality that I was better than any defender I was going to face and that he was not going to stop me. You cannot have a defeatist mindset and Max's mentality and ability to play out a race beyond just what is happening corner to corner has not been seen in F1 since the Senna/Schumacher days. No one in F1 has in recent time has had that level of intensity and controlled aggression that Max has - everyone else soft and don't want to actually race. I'd love to see them all in GT3 cars where you can bump and push a bit. Max would absolutely obliterate them all to no end.

Ferrari contains the leaks with the tanks inspired by the F1-75:
💥Ferrari has taken a significant step forward in its development approach, adopting a technical solution inspired by the F1-75. While some believe the team may have hidden its true performance during pre-season testing in Bahrain, others suspect the problems encountered were genuine.
💥With the first race of the season just days away, Ferrari’s SF-25 has introduced a breakaway design that could bring unexpected surprises, particularly in its aerodynamic philosophy.
💥A key aspect of the SF-25 is its central section, which revisits a concept previously used in the F1-75. The aerodynamic department, led by Diego Tondi, has reinterpreted the solution to align with modern regulations while maintaining efficiency.
💥The design includes a feature known as “tanks,” which were more pronounced in the 2022 Ferrari but are now subtly integrated into the SF-25. This involves an excavation on the upper surface of the sidepods, designed to manage airflow more effectively.
💥The objective is to enhance the difference between the airflow passing over the top and along the sides of the car, contributing to aerodynamic load distribution and overall efficiency.

I've never played fantasy anything but might be game. It would be cool if someone, who knew what they were doing, set up a league for this board.
