I have no real reason to state this but I sorta thought Mick would get 1 more year....a little more investment in the car, etc.

I also initially struggle to understand Nico...seems like there could be better and younger options but don't want to pretend to know about him or his style, etc...

Good for Haas. MSC has been stuck.

Kevin Mag was an upgrade to Mazepin, and Nico should be an upgrade to MSC. Hopefully they can take another minor step forward next season.

I think if Haas had Hulk and K Mag this year they would have easily been 6th in the constructors, and maybe even challenged for the best of the rest with Alpine and McLaren. They want to be a midfield team, not a feeder team.

There has to be more to the story.

Wowsers. That reply by Max was pretty nuts.

Checo was ticked about it afterwards...'shows who he truly is'. Dang. Going to be an uncomfortable debrief

But Netflix editing made Max look bad.

Glad to see people figuring out what Max is all about. Hopefully he eventually figures it out because he is fun to watch.

Yep. Agreed.

I dont mind him being a fiery competitor. Most the greats are. But he needs to mature a bit, and that stuff needs to be done behind closed doors.

That's one thing Toto is really good at...keeping their stuff in-house and off the radio.

If Checo wrecked in Monaco on purpose during Q3 to hold his position ahead of Max and the others at a track that is notorious for nobody being able to pass then that's pretty bad and while I don't think it fully justifies what Max did yesterday, it certainly adds some reasoning. These guys all say they're a team but the egos are larger than anything we can comprehend.

Max seems to have been a ***** yesterday with that move. Moose or Jimbo (or both) were idiots for sleevegate this past weekend. I'll still be pulling for all of them next week.

The one thing in common with a lot of these F1 drivers seems to be that they all have some whiny/over competitiveness in them. It doesn't really faze me when I'm watching the races. I just enjoy seeing high level driving along with the strategy that goes into each race.

Yep, just like I stopped following the drama of recruiting several years ago, I just don't have time or care enough to follow the off track drama as much with F1.

The entire package are basically write offs and comps with a few luxury items. True cost = $100-$200k max. But they'll easily find a sucker who wants to show off.

"Only informed in the last corner"

Yes, that is why he responded with "You know my reasons" and not "there's too little time". Oh and there is video/radio messages well before that.

Not sure why they are making things up just to cover for Max publicly.

Yeah, Im sure Checo received a lot of social media abuse over this.

I agree, but you know this is pure ego and a power play by camp Max.

I know this has been known for a while but I'm still a little surprised by it. Haas is a Ferrari client team and wasn't Mick a Ferrari Academy driver? Seems like Maranello would've had something to say about it. Maybe another client team. Don't know.

Mick was a Ferrari academy driver, but that contract ended. I can't remember if it ended last off season or during this season.

Personally I never cared for Mick. It took him 2 seasons in F3 and 2 in F2 and he never scored a single pole in F2 (and he was in a Prema). If anything he won in a field full of rookies and a Callum Ilott that made too many mistakes. He was definitely nowhere as good as the likes of Leclerc, Norris, Russell, or Piastri.

Some cool stuff feederwise:
-Juan Manuel Correa is back in F2. He was the other driver involved in the fatal accident of Anthoine Hubert. He had several surgeries to avoid amputation of both of his legs, ran F3 in 2021 and this year, so it's so good to see him back in F2 next year.
-Eurocup 3 announced which would be a next step after regional F4. I guess it's a FRECA but spanish (4 rounds in spain and 4 in EU). No idea if it is FIA regulated like FRECA.
-They are announcing a new all-female series tomorrow in Abu Dhabi backed by F1. Should be the replacement of W Series. Goal is to make it an F4 and have drivers half fund their seat. I hope they share weekends with F1. Would be great to see the young W Series drivers in it as well as younger talent like Chloe Grant, Aurelia Nobels, Liona Theobald, Laura Camps Torres. Make it a true F3 feeder with young talent and solve the problem W Series had with many of their grid being too old for F3.
