      @Giles He’s just handing his championship opportunity to Oscar.

      Some of this will be with the benefit of hindsight, but Oscar was alwa=ys going to be Lando's primary threat........

        @Giles I’d rather Lando hand it to Oscar than Lando + the team’s strategy do so as last year.

        Think it, be it.

            @Danimal506 yeah it feels like last year was Lando’s chance and they screwed him out of it. But he made mistakes too. Just frustrating for him.

            Think it, be it.

              Yeah, the team should have supported him earlier, let Lando have his day and then ditto Oscar....

                More than ready. And I think he has the minerals to take on Max in a way that I don't think Lando does.

                    My 2030 prediction: The next few years will be a historic time where we saw teammates constantly battle for Championships. The Lando/Oscar battle will be a story for the textbooks about team strategy vs letting drivers drive.

                      @Go-For-Chill I just hope the racing improves instead of quali being the best part of the weekend so far.

                        @Rococo 2025 for me is already a 50% write off. Hamilton won’t do anything in the SF-25. Stroll’s existence means one less “top team” driver to watch. Redbull without Newey looks like an anthill that’s just been kicked over…

                        I can’t wait for the 2026 active aero and car size changes. I really hope it’s a total shakeup.

                          2026 is when Newey’s influence on Aston Martin will be really visible.

                            And if he is still a driver, 2026 will be yet another year when Lances influence amounts to more familial embarrassment......

                                  @Tago-Mago maybe, like if they have to red flag a session before F1 drivers put up hot laps.

                                          Max once again is out here doing side quests.

                                          See a lap record at Nurburgring Nordschliefe under a pseudonym in a Ferrari 296 GT3.

                                          First time on the circuit, did it in a few laps. Truly on another planet.
