After pre-season testing, my team ranking is the following:
1. McLaren
2. Ferrari
3/4. Red Bull/Mercedes
5. Alpine
6. Williams
7. Aston Martin
8. VCARB
9. Haas
10. Sauber
This will probably change after the first race, the first 5, and post-flexi wing TD at race 9.

Man, haven’t been here for a minute. Only thing interesting in F1 right now is when Hamilton appears at Fiorano. Looks like it’ll be a few weeks.
He’s going to need to be in the sim and in the old cars every working week from here to testing at the very least if he wants a chance to match Leclerc.

Lawson will get 5-6 tenths dunked on him over the course if next season. The Ferrari and McLaren drivers will skin him alive. If he’s outperformed by Antonelli, they’ll have to make a decision.

🚨 OFFICIAL: Isack Hadjar joins RB for 2025 alongside Yuki Tsunoda.
Horner on Hadjar: "He was faster than Yuki in the test last week, which turned heads. He's definitely a raw talent, he needs a little bit of polishing. But he has the speed."

Unsurprising.
Just no way that level of performance could be continued.

So an agreement has been reached between Red Bull and Sergio Perez to part ways with immediate effect.
What hasn’t been agreed is who is announcing it first. So neither side is announcing it yet #F1

Downfield, I’m pretty high on Williams getting to P4-P5 position over the next 2-3 years given the talent they have at the track and factory.
Aston will end up being their biggest competition. The combination of huge infrastructure investment and Adrian Newey is going to be tough to overcome. #F1

On some level, we know Hamilton is going to be a huge asset to Ferrari.
On the other hand, I still don’t see the point in breaking up the Leclerc/Sainz partnership as they’re starting to peak. I know many other #F1 pundits have said similar.
Looking forward to seeing a WCC win next season though.

And so wraps the longest F1 season ever.
Shout out to the factory and trackside staff. That's a tough life to live.
All in all, probably the best season of the hybrid era in terms of competitiveness. Max's dominance and McLaren's sheer reliability ended up taking the W's.

Final race weekend starts tomorrow #F1 fans.
I'm picking Ferrari to complete the 1-2 on Sunday out of sheer hope and desperation.
Going to be a pretty wild finale seeing all of these "final" races. Ricciardo, Bottas and KMag(and possibly Perez) all leaving in the same year feels kind of odd.

I’ll do more driver reviews later but lastly, Lewis Hamilton.
I’m kind of disappointed in how he’s going out of Mercedes. I understand the difficulty in qualifying and such but mentally he checked out awhile ago.
He’ll gain some energy from joining Ferrari but it’ll be his toughest test yet.

Verstappen, well, I think he has a good argument for GOAT.
Not in terms of outright achievement, but talent-wise, I’ll put him up against anyone, Hamilton, Schumacher, Senna, Prost, whoever.

Leclerc is starting to hit his peak IMO.
He’s been extremely consistent this year and has addressed most of his weaknesses.
I don’t think Lewis in his current form will be able to beat him over a season.

Sainz should really be at a top team next year.
However, every team he joins improves, so it’ll be good to see Williams possible make their way up.
But still, on pace he’s top 5-6 on the grid IMO. A bit wasted on a midfield team.

Let’s talk F1:
- Briatore running Alpine as expected, Ocon’s dismissal is shameful
- McLaren didn’t dominate Qatar the way I expected, but that’s just the Max effect
- Ferrari is still in the WCC, a long shot but it could happen
- Looking forward to seeing these driver changes take place

Went from ~500hp to 160hp.
Don’t really miss it.
I’ll get something cool again in 2026 or 27. Might leave it for my 40th. lol

Going into Qatar, last sprint weekend on the calendar. I’m still not a fan but this layout is far better than the initial concept.
As usual, because of one practice, we’ll see who’s sim work is the best.
With only one low speed turn, I think McLaren should be the overwhelming favorite here.
