F1 - 2025 Season

I agree, Oscar has the right attitude for winning, like Max, knows what he wants and goes for it.

Lando doesn’t have that determination although he’s their No. 1 driver.

I think that Oscar will realise his ambition this year, good car, attitude and determination.

DG…

I am waiting for atomic-level fireworks at Maclaren later in the year when O and L inevitably decide they both have priority on a bit of tarmac. Z seem certain it will happen and even more certain that the team can handle it. Time will tell.
As for who wins the championship, it is too early to tell and remains a 3 way fight at the moment.

We’ll also have to see if the running order stays the same during the whole season. Last year it didn’t. And also if the rule changes for Spain will have any effect on any of the teams. There’s two thirds of the season still to go after that. As you say, too early to tell.

I think @Jamiewednesday 's ‘better temperament’ is better expressed as ‘totally hidden ruthlessness’.

Looks like the original ‘baby faced assassin’ to me.

He is at it again.

What a joke this is. It is supposed to be the governing body of motor sport, not some kind of despotic autocracy providing cover of legitimacy for a tyrant.

As the FIA is based in an EU country, I wonder what the EU Commission will say about this proposed change.
Another thought is, will this be the issue that finally convinces F1 and the constructors to split with the FIA, which has been close to happening before? Or at least start the process to force a backdown. There could be interesting times ahead, as they say.

I think these changes could be partly to prevent Carlos from being allowed to stand.

Yep.

George quoted as suggesting all’s a bit ‘suspect’.

From the race dot com

When asked if Sainz Sr would be a better president than Ben Sulayem, Verstappen replied: “You can fill that in yourself. It’d be stupid for me to comment on that here.”

Sainz was asked the same question in his session, replying: "I’m his son, so I’m biased!
