Porsche wanted to take over complete so we can't blame him for that.

Why are the F1 videos always so terrible? The guys talk so fast it's like they're in a race themselves. I can't even listen to that trash.

Ok . Always 1000% MAX fan but never a Mercedes fan .

If MAX would drive at Mercedes I would hate the car and Wolff too ...

I know , it would be a very strange combination .

Hopefully it won't happen

Glued is a strong word.

In 2026 the cars will s@ck even more .
As we know 50% of the power output will be electric ..

But something else is also allowed in 2026...
"Active aero" (!)

Front and rear wing will move continuously and the suspension (ride height) too !

In other words : Mobile espresso machines..

Of course my friend (as for now) I know .
Don't know why he should swap his RB20 for a bouncing 5H1T box

But in 2026 , the situation can change completely...

My HONDA lawn mower also cuts the weeds, so everything is nice and green.

In "The Eagle Has Landed" movie (1976), "Operation Eagle" involves German commandos dressing as Polish paratroopers to infiltrate a village. Underneath, however, they retain their German uniforms so as to avoid being shot as spies if taken prisoner.

So will you secretly keep wearing your old Verstappen Red Bull Racing shirt underneath your new Verstappen Mercedes shirt during F1 race weekends ?

The movie you mentioned was fictional so like with MAX going over to Merc will only be an illusion, good movie though.

The usually well-informed German magazine Auto Motor und Sport earlier today: Max Verstappen's salary package has been internally approved by Mercedes. Including all success bonuses, it's told to be more expensive than the one of Lewis Hamilton.

This may get Verstappen closer to striking a Mercedes deal soon as F1 driver and brand ambassador for either 2025 or 2026.

Up to Max to decide if he wants to make the move. 2026 regs will reshuffle the field again. IMHO Mercedes could be the proper choice for him.

Well so much for that rumor

Alonso signs multi-year extension at Aston Martin
Fernando Alonso has signed a multi-year contract extension to stay with Aston Martin’s Formula 1 team until at least the end of the 2026 season.
“Securing Fernando’s long-term future with Aston Martin Aramco is fantastic news,” Krack said. “We have built a strong working relationship over the last 18 months and we share the same determination to see this project succeed. We have been in constant dialogue over the last few months and Fernando has been true to his word: when he decided he wanted to continue racing, he talked to us first. Fernando has shown he believes in us, and we believe in him.

Personally I think that is great news and on the subject of Lance Stroll

Thought this was as good as any place to post this as I suspect few remember Toleman.

Former F1 team owner Ted Toleman dies at 86
The founder of the Formula 1 team that has evolved into the current Alpine entry — Ted Toleman — has died in Manila at the age of 86 after a long illness.
But it’s as the man who gave Ayrton Senna his F1 debut in 1984 that Toleman is best remembered, with Senna announcing himself to the world with a stunning second place in the Monaco Grand Prix that year, a race that Toleman was sure Senna would have won but for it being red flagged due to heavy rain as he closed in on leader Alain Prost.

Because Alain Prost was his usual pussy whiny bitch and Jean-Marie Balestre was his french bitch. No I don't hold grudges much
