@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.

[Giles]

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

@Giles “I’m going to put my son in a Newey. That’s the ticket! He’ll finally be good enough!”

@mclaincausey said in Motor Sport:

He’ll finally be good enough!

to reach Q2...

[mclaincausey]

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

Even his dad has to be wondering about his “investment” at this point. Maybe he’s using it as a tax write off

[mclaincausey]

Why can’t he just let his kid fail at tennis or something less annoying and expensive than wasting an F1 seat?

[mclaincausey]

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.

Thanks for the share @mclaincausey

Do you think Max enjoyed doing it in a Ferrari?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@mclaincausey I hear Franz Hermann is making some waves…

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Bridger I know he’s got a deal with Aston for his GT3 team

[mclaincausey]

@Bridger yep!!! He could probably do it in a soapbox I have my issues with him but what a driver he is. Of course thousands of sim hours on the course helped but just ungodly.

@WhiskeySandwich

Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll missed the Spanish Grand Prix with injury, in the aftermath of losing his temper in the team's garage.

hahahahahaha

[Tago Mago]

@Giles how can you possibly doubt the official version that this stems from long-term issues following a cycling accident?

[Giles]

Good point

[mclaincausey]

That was a great time.

Max earned much more than a 10s penalty there for torpedoing Russell. Unacceptable behavior.

[goosehd]

...and a point away from a race ban on his license.

[mclaincausey]

Exactly. Hotheaded Max sucks ass. Best racer of his generation, great sense of humor, but still hasn’t matured.
