Only half of the 2024 drivers remain in place
dutchm2 wroteYuki deserved this seat.OFFICIAL: Liam Lawson will team with Max Verstappen at Red Bull for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Fillip wroteI don't disagree with that.Yuki deserved this seat.
Fillip wrote"Deserved" is an interesting word to use.Yuki deserved this seat.
Just because he put in time, doesn't mean he deserves anything. 4 years on the grid and all that he has to show for it is being 0.07 seconds faster than Liam, who was on some tracks that he's never seen before, in a car that he's only driven a handful of times.
I don't see Yuki on the grid in 2026. Unless maybe Honda convinces Stroll or Alonso to retire.
➡️ Number of seasons / number of races / age.
The most experienced teams will be Aston Martin and Ferrari.
The least experienced are Racing Bulls. And by the way, McLaren is still one of the youngest and most inexperienced teams.
I admit honestly, I haven’t seen about half of them and didn’t even imagine that they exist!
dutchm2 wroteNot even close. Hamilton is going for his 9th and 10th.True or not? 🗣️ FIA referee Johnny Herbert: "Norris will be champion in 2025."
AmuroRay wroteSeriously! Wow that's a nice call and believe from you. We shall see rightNot even close. Hamilton is going for his 9th and 10th.
Max Verstappen:
- I have serious doubts that I will become champion in 2025 if everything continues in the same vein.
- I would never want to relive Abu Dhabi 2021, although many consider it one of the best days. To be honest, no joke, I was close to a heart attack, and I remember everything fragmentarily. It was physically bad.
- After qualifying in Brazil 2024, I was very angry, I wanted to smash everything to hell. But I came back, and my father was sitting there. He was sitting there and was so calm that it immediately affected me, and I stopped being nervous.
- Some teams in 2024 openly cheated, and everyone knows about it, but no one stopped them. It's hard to fight.

dutchm2 wroteOf course he is. That's part of the reason why they signed Lawson and not Tsunoda. Can't have Max under pressure.Helmut Marko admits Yuki Tsunoda is currently faster than Liam Lawson but has concerns about his consistency and mentality 🧠
