When do we get 'Formula One Team F1'? I'd enter that, just for a laugh.

I'd only heard of lucky last night, will watch it.
Watched "Williams and Mansell Red 5" last night, was good also.
They both look so old in that pic!

Already my pick for worst livery in 2024. I'd be very surprised if someone else's is worse

Be interesting to see as Stake don't have any colours really. They might go back to white and grey.

Even though they are going for 2 main sponsors in the name for more money does this have the potential to cost them money by way of merchandise, new fans. Hard to get behind a team with a name like that.

Sauber have been vanilla and irrelevant since before the BMW days. A little upswing when they were Alfa and when they had Charles and Kimi, but they haven't really raised any eyebrows or done anything exciting since the mid 2000s.
They used to be a good base for promising young drivers to kick off their careers. Think Kimi, Heidfeld, Massa, Frentzen, Kubica. Now they're just Bottas padding his retirement fund with some Chinese money from Zhou until Audi take over.

I feel like there's potential for relevancy when Audi take over. Need to keep the brand simple though and actually push for better performance. What are they even doing with that Chinese money lol not improving the car anyway

thanks. i’ve got through the 1st three eps of ‘lucky’. not a fan of ecclestone but from the viewpoint of a history of f1 it’s worth putting up with him.
wow!
Right now they are the only team principals that understand what it takes for sustained success.
so they have that in common.
When they retire there won’t be many other friends that can relate and talk about the “good old days” with their perspective.
i expect them to be lifelong buddies.

Bahrain gains full control of McLaren Group in deal with minority investors
Mumtalakat, the Gulf state's sovereign wealth fund, will effectively become McLaren's sole owner as part of a deal that could be announced as soon as this week, Sky News learns.

not keen myself. reckon many poms won't be either. think, along with marlborough, they owned part of the mclaren team during the turbo era. tag huer had an involvement too.
Sounds like teams might be getting upset.
I've said before and will always say it they shouldn't be allowed a second team. Ferrari weren't allowed when Michael was dominant
There are teams wanting to come in and they won't let them in because of two many teams well make redbull sell one if there two teams. Pretty ******* simple really.

Not a big Zak Brown fan but I have to agree with what he's saying. It's BS actually. Would rather Andretti in. It has to be a significant advantage. Not a bad article that. Also reminded me that technically Oscar has a race win before Lando which is a pissa.

Isn't Alfa basically a 2nd Ferrari team in the same vein as Alpha Tauri?

No
Two drivers on the Formula 1 grid should be counting their lucky stars, that’s reportedly the thoughts of outgoing AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost.

Haas can't afford a rookie. KMag might not get good results but at least he isn't crashing all the time.

Well, no other team has the luxury of giving their reserve driver an actual F1 seat at another team so that they've got a ready-to-go replacement if they decide to jettison an underperforming driver. That on its own seems a bit unfair.
Just how many regulations do you want?
