You had to know it was coming with all of Marko and Horner's saying they no big changes in the works and they are fine with who they had across teams. Feels like the move is focused on pressuring Perez with a healthy side dose of seeing if Yuki has the chops by comparison to drive the RB. If...
So the merry go round seems to focus on Team Principals and leaders at this point.
Mattia Binotto out at Ferrari to the surprise of absolutely no one.
His replacement at Ferrari will be Freddie Vasseur from Alfa/Sauber. Not much of a surprise either as you would expect Audi to want someone...

Can't always say he was one of my favorites, although I do appreciate his decision to use his role and visibility to raise awareness to causes he cares about.
It's kinda weird to think of a grid without him though.
Going in Jackets hold 6th and 12th. If the 6 goes up to 1 or 2, then we get Chicago's pick next year. 12 can only go up as high as 2.

After what was the closest season since 4 guys went into Abu Dhabi in 2010 with the chance to win a championship, we embark into a 90 day off season with Max(sterisk) Verstappen holding the championship win, Mercedes still foaming at the mouth over a call and several teams and drivers left with...
Jackets have 67 players in camp and games three straight nights. So a lot of guys gonna get looks before the first big set of cuts Thursday.
Hofmann, Chinakhov, Sillinger and Bjorgvik-Holm have all impressed through camp so far. Sillinger has held onto his spot between Laine and Voracek...
So, they are taking out a free practice, still having a knockout quali, moving Parc ferme up a session and racing 1/3rd distance to set the grid for Sunday.
So the fastest cars will still be at the front, streak off into the distance and still start the race from the front. The only thing this...
So the worst kept secret in F1 history was confirmed today:
With that, what do you think the big stories will be next year? Bold predictions, craziness and outright lies here!
- Checo pushes Max a little too hard and will actually move ahead of Max in the championship. Max will whine and RB...

Such a shame. RIP young man.
Also, hard to believe that was 25 years ago.

So they have burned the bridge with Renault, Ferraris are crap and Mercedes would be stupid to give the RB equal power.
Wonder what options emerge, and what this news does to their chances of keeping Verstappen around long term.

Formula 1 - Press release - Fernando Alonso joins Renault DP World F1 Team - renaultsport.com
So their lineup next year will be Fernando Alonso an Esteban Ocon. And it's one more seat closed to Vettel.
Honestly, I am surprised they are bringing him back. He wasn't exactly tearing it up in the...

Tom Wilson - Fuck Jeff Carter - Dale Hunter
Adam Foote - Chris Pronger

That have played for Jackets:
Boll - Carter - Filatov
Johnson - Foote
Mason...
Two big, heavy teams. Both deep, both solid defensively and both capable of squeezing the life out of an opponent. Hope it's a solid series.
Some things that will definitely happen:
- Someone will take a stupid penalty at the wrong time and shift the momentum
- When this happens it will be...
