I'm a Bottas fan, so I'd love to see him back on the grid. Saw someone elsewhere mention that Sainz and/or Alonso could be an option as well. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Sainz or Ocon would be worth considering, and I don’t think Ricciardo is done either. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Doubtful Alonzo is leaving. He's also under contract for 2026 and it'll be his first Adrian Newey car he's driven. Unless he tanks this year in IndyCar, my money is for Bottas/Colton Herta lineup for 2026. | |||

Another dark horse, depending on how he does this year, is Bearman. He's supported by Ferrari and they're supplying the engine/drivetrain components until Cadillac is able to develop their own. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Realistically, Cadillac is going to be mediocre at best for a couple of years at least. Whoever goes there has to know they aren’t going to win any championships. They need older experienced drivers that can help them develop the car, not young drivers starting their careers in Formula 1. | |||

^ Fair point & puts some logic to a rookie/experienced combo. Experienced driver to help develop the car & get experience for the rookie in hopes they're competitive as the car improves The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I don't understand the speculation about Herta. He came into IndyCar looking like a world beater and has mostly not impressed at all. Maybe he's matured, we'll see this year, but I hope that Cadillac isn't banking on him to make a real impact. This is a huge commitment from Cadillac/GM on a huge stage. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I don't follow Indy, so can't comment on him, just recall him being a leading name for one of the seats when it was still being referred to as Andretti F1 The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Another issue with Herta is possibly the team. I'd like to see him driving for someone like Penske of Ganassi to see how much of his bad luck or poor strategy is not of his making. That sort of problem can influence your driving and attitude behind the wheel, over-driving the car or encouraging you to take risks you might not take otherwise. O'Ward is another one that seems to be falling into the same pattern. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Can't say I'm surprised, but about the only way Prost is going to get his fair shake is if the French do a movie/miniseries on his career. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/...e-bullshit/10701647/

F1TV to get Premium Pkg https://www.formula1.com/en/la...ULoJHnve3zgO0pmiKzrF
F1TV is currently $90/yr This new premium pkg ups it to $130/yr I'll give it a shot if they offer a trial, and it's compatible with my Roku at home. The Multiview is a neat add. Have the race playing on whichever stream you prefer & add in the driver tracker & an onboard or two. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

F1 World Champion escapes toilet prison after bizarre airport mishap As mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of JV or his style of "punditry". This couldn't have happened to a more appropriate person, IMHO!  You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I'm into '05 [watching Bahrain '05 right now] in my saga of watching everything from the F1TV archives [1970-2013 for me, I got back into full-time watching in 2014]. Was watching at home a couple weekends ago & one of my kids said 'it's too loud'. I could listen to the banshee V10s all day  Never got the best impressions on JV, but for no real reason. Never saw much of his commentary. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Jacques Villeneuve was a decent enough guy when he was in CART and his first two years at Williams. After that is when he became douchebag prime blaming Williams for everything that was wrong and then deciding that he could do it better and formed BAR. | |||

So fellow SFers, who’s going to win Australia? My prognostication is that Max will take it due to his prowess in the rain followed by….Hamilton… ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Gut/hopeful says Norris. With Bottas not on the grid, I'm rooting for Lando. Pessimistic side says Verstappen or Hamilton. We'll see what FP2 looks like, when they start turning some quali laps. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Did you hear that Piastri just got a huge pay increase as well as an extension to his contract. Supposedly he went from about 6-7 mil all the way up to $20 mil which puts him on par with Lando. His contract was also extended to 2028… ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

I saw that his contract was extended, didn't see the details. That's a big bump. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

FP1 & 2 in the books. The usuals look good at the front. Green boys still at the back. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
