No way Lawson deserves that seat ahead of Yuki.

I just want to see that pairing because

Well deserved for McLaren.

I am looking forward to next season already. Big change from this time a year ago.
Yea next season should actually be pretty interesting!

Could be a big battle between the top 4 teams or at least between Vestappen, Norris and hopefully Hamilton & LeClerc.

A sad end to his Mercedes career, especially with how Toto has spoken about him this year. Just really poor form from Mercedes.
All good things come to an end, it had run its course.

Hard for them to all be best mates when Hamiltons head isn’t in it anymore and their car is rubbish and Lewis doesn’t have age on his side and wants his 8th title that he has robbed from him.

The interviews and bits with Hamiltons race engineer Bono were class as was Brundle driving the older Mercs with Hamilton, he was genuinely so happy and proud to be doing that.

This is not great news. How many classic/historic tracks with real racing will go this way whilst keeping tracks like Monaco. Don’t tell me it is not about money

I'd not be surprised to see more races in the US, they seem to be wanting to drag it over there on their shit street circuits based on the fact that there's fewer races there as a continent as there are in Europe!!

I don't think it will be more US races.

There are 3 now - and they cover the country geographically. Add in the Canadian and Mexican Grand Prix and you have 5 in North America - which feels about right.


This is from The Guardian:

Formula One says the Belgian Grand Prix will be rotated from next year as the sport moves to introduce new races to the calendar. The deal means the fixture at Spa-Francorchamps – which is among the most recognisable circuits in F1 – will be omitted from the schedule in 2028 and 2030.

F1’s decision will free up room for new venues to be introduced with Thailand, Argentina, Rwanda and a second race in Saudi Arabia all vying for a place on the schedule. It could also mean the races in Imola and Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya will be rotated in the seasons to come. Both races are in danger, with a street round in Madrid due to be introduced next year.
