F1 F1 2024 thread

As I type, it's the small hours of the 1st of May, and therefore the 30th anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death. Somehow, the 30th anniversary of Roland Ratzenberger's death passed me by.

Such a terrible weekend for F1, just utterly awful, but we won't forget them.

30 yrs wow. Wonder how he would feel about today's racing. Would of made an interesting commentator. Would also be in most people's top 5 all time you would think

It looks like Ferrari. Has met with them and apparently they and Aston are two teams that have contacted him but he has no interest in Aston Martin.

Basically if he's going somewhere he's going for the 2026 rules rather than trying to fix something that is shite. Let's hope it isn't Ferrari, last thing we want is Bono My Tyres winning more GPs.

He remains such an incredible contradiction. The man who stopped his car to help a stricken Erik Comas is also the man who deliberately caused a high-speed collision with Prost to win a championship. Such a fast, ruthless, committed, talented racer.

Fascinating post about Sid Watkins, and his relationship with Senna, along with a new notes about how driver safety has gotten so much better.

Reckon Jos Verstappen will be doing a lot of 'I told you so' interviews in coming days.

Don't love changing liveries constantly.

Don't hate it but I don't love it either.

Leclerc will wipe the floor with the only champion to be beaten by three (soon to be four) different teammates in equal machinery.

Yeah I'm not a fan

I'd seen images floating around of a Williams-esque navy that looked alright, but the mix of blue and red is ew

 

[gaskin]

I expected more blue the way they were carrying on about it.

 

[skam85]

Rate this though

 

[Jatz]

Yeah that looks fantastic!

 

[No Quarter]

Bit out there in a still image but I reckon it will be very striking on track

Ferrari Miami livery
unlike many others, ferrari fairly much sticks to brand with their livery.

Shame the track is still boring.
Won't get up for this one, will just catch the highlights I think.

6am Monday is almost the perfect time for a race IMO.... if you aren't from Perth

Us congress getting involved in the andretti F1 saga

Not really sure what they think they can do. They have no control over FOM, the FIA, or the team bosses.

Both Liberty (owners of FOM) and Andretti are US companies, which may give them some leverage. The FIA approved Andretti anyway, so Congress doesn't have any issue with them.

Boss of f2 and f3 saying no room for andretti there either. Except they are losing Prema racing next year. Starting to have a whiff of conspiracy about andretti
