2024 f1

Think it's time to let the old thread die and start the new season on a new page considering we have the unveiling of our first car for the new season.

HAAS made the announcement official today. While this cars might typically be somewhat shitty, I always like the look of them.

Looks pretty badass...I just hope it's fast which we know is a long shot. lol

Let the fun begin..

Testing is on 21-23rd Feb..

Predictions for the year?

Ferrari made Hamilton a offer he could not refuse. I predict Cannelloni sales are gonna go up.

BBC good food guide recipes. I know what ya all making this weekend.

I think Sainz will be fighting hard to go out on a high.
Williams will finish in the top three constructors. There I said it. Don't hate, you know im right.

Anyone going to any races this year?

Whats going to happen in 2025?
Alonso to Merc? Or maybe Carlos Sainz... Or even Ricciardo?

[shakalaka]

The only prediction that I think we can confidently make right now is that RBR will be dominating once again with everyone trying to play catch-up. Hopefully not the case, but most likely what is going to happen.

2024 driver silly season is off to a crazy start...

lew lew kicks it off...
Alonso to merc rumours picking up steam, Albon back to RB... Saniz going to Stake... with 13 seats up for grabs for 2025 it will be great with all the driver changes

[redline]

Predictions

Lando gets a win
Max wins again
merc still has issues and will fall down the order
close race to second from Ferrari and Mclaren

[pheoxs]

Highly doubt Albon goes back to RB, he seems happy to be done with the RB environmental but I could see him trying to make a run for Merc. Or maybe Aston if Alonso moved.

I would agree but Peter Windsor was pretty confident that a deal would be announced soon …. But see crazy silly season ….

[OTown]

Unless RB completely shoot themselves in the foot, I think Max will likely win this year. Ferrari were looking pretty competitive near the end, but still have room to move. I think Lewis going there shows that they might be on the verge of some good progress. Vasseur has been a great influence on that team

I think it's more likely Albon's camp (and maybe even Red Bull) floated the story to make Mercedes pay up if they want him!

This is glorious.
Ok so we all agree Max will win it again.
Lets look at it from a Formula 1.5. Where the real racing is at.
Putting him aside. Who will get third, fourth or fifth?

Aston Martin and Mclaren fighting it out again?

[davidI]

Love the Williams.

Also happy that Stake is going with a different colour than the black/red.

[phreezee]

Biggest reveal so far. He looks unstoppable

As I've said before, I am a Ham fan first, then a Merc fan. So Ferrari, here I come. lol.

That being said, not sure what's going on with Horner but seeing articles that he's been asked to step down (though he's refusing lol).

Looks good before Sargeant bins it

The new trend of "black" base color with some different color strips on different teams is kinda boring.

Yea, for 2026 I think there should be a minimum paint weight requirement.

I agree. Color > Black for cars in general, but especially on race cars.
