This is the dumbest name for a team

 

It's truly pathetic; I unfollowed their Instagram account because of it. I hope they finish at the back of the grid every race this season

 

Because they changed their name?

 

Exactly, because I'm petty like that, haha. Just the dumbest name possible

 

It is a shocking name. Just 3 unrelated brands in a row. I would assume it's going to have an ugly as sin livery too, but you'll have the Red Bull branding as the underpinning and then they have to plaster both Visa and Cashapp on it.

 

Leclerc signed an extension with Ferrari. The length wasn’t announced but it’s expected to be 5 years

 

Daytona 24 Hours this past weekend was fantastic

 

Supercars shock: Kostecki/Erebus split looming

What the hell?

 

Wonder what conspired behind the scenes to make a driver want to split like that, before the end of his contract

 

It’s crazy. Defending champion too. V8 Supercars is in a bad place if they lose SVG and Brodie now too.

 

Just pure greed. F1 is a miserable sport.

 

The Wife and I binged this last night. Excellent series. I like that it's not a carbon copy of DTS.

 

Really embarrassing decision. The reasons they gave are such a pathetic cover for "We don't want to split the money 11 ways."

I look forward to Haas folding and F1 begging Andretti to join.

Lewis Hamilton set to make shock switch to Ferrari in F1 2025

The factors involved in Hamilton’s poised sensational F1 switch to Ferrari

 

If it does end up happening, what an awkward season it’ll be for Lewis and Carlos.

 

To me its a no-brainer move to make; he's approaching the end of his career, and I would assume almost every driver would want to drive for Ferrari at some point in their career, and Ferrari seem like the next best team behind Red Bull for now, so it would make total sense to make the switch.

 

Makes me wonder how poor the W15 is in testing for him to make the switch

 

WHAT THE FUCK

 

It's now been confirmed - "Mercedes employees in Brackley have been told that Lewis Hamilton will be leaving at the end of the 2024 season"

"Ferrari’s share price has jumped 6% today - on a market cap of 66 billion, his news is worth $4 billion"

 

WHAT?!?!?!?

 

I understand the move from Hamilton's perspective entirely. I'm not sure how sensible this is for Ferrari (unless they think he's going to beat them into shape) and I really don't get the timing of the announcement. Surely both Merc and Ferrari are now going to be really unsettled this season?
