The king is dead, long live the king.
Only 102 days to lights out for 2023..
I doubt that there will be a better time to sell a F1 team anytime soon. AT was advertised for a billion dollari, a normal business person will run away from that, the Saudis won't say no. For Stroll, F1 is a marketing vehicle for Aston Martin, his son plays no role in this thinking.
There’s rumours that they want Norris when he’s out of contract but that’s not for a couple of years, and if that’s the case then I could see them going for a short term option like Ricciardo.
I can’t see Norris going there though unless McLaren takes a huge step back over the next couple of years.
Red Bull don't really have any proven options to replace Perez. Riccardo still hasn't really proven he still has it. Lawson could get chewed up and spit out of he is put beside Max too soon.
I would imagine if/when Lance goes, so will Larry. Talks of the Saudi's buying Aston Martin (the car brand), so if Larry isn't selling cars or trying to get his son a world championship, why does he back a team?
There must be a ton of money involved in Perez contract with RBR for him to still be racing for that team. We have seen Helmut Marko kicking out previous drivers in RBR for much less s***ty show than what Perez is doing.
I will be very surprised seeing Perez, Stroll and Sargeant in their current positions next year.
Perez looks to be in a fair bit of danger in keeping his seat - another weekend and and another awful performance. Sprint wasn’t his fault but he struggled in the race too which has been pretty common.
Horner after the race when questioned about it was pretty unequivocal - he needs to get back to the front of the grid. the 3 main competitors have driver pairing that have been far closer in positions and if the gap isn’t so wide next year Max may not be able to win the constructors by himself.
If he loses out on second spot this season I could see RB pulling the trigger before the season starts. It would take a miracle to get his contract extended at this stage.
Well if you have ok or good internet just get NOW TV. I get all Sky channels for 6 euro a month that's entertainment about 16 channels. The show race highlights on Sky Showcase HD Aswell.
But you can get the sports package for little has 15 euro a month from codes on boards.ie even has little as 10 euro at times. Just browse back through the thread.
Now TV - latest deal codes - Page 97 — boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'
Nope I still will if I see or hear about a race it will just be a different post.
Awe thank you 😊.
I think I’d miss his/her race reviews a day late. 😁
Does this mean you won’t be posting in F1 threads anymore?
Don't worry I am doing it this time
It has been diluted beyond what is good for it there is too many races now and the championship should not be won on a silly second tire race.
That's OK I still have Formula-e and Extreme E which I can watch on You-Tube.
Don't worry I have no interest in the race highlights now either. Yes I have basic Sky but the price for it is not basic anymore and Sky have no one but themselves to blame. I only watch depression sh-it like the news on it anyway and am done watching them
too.
😊☺
I love AMKC.
That had me puzzled too. Probably had more important things to be doing than cancelling Sky. 😁
But how can they cancel Sky, when they continually go on about watching the race highlights as they won't pay for sky....
3rd or 4th time dramatically quitting F1 anyway.
Were you on the beer and still feeling it?
If Max wins or has won the WDC ( Yes I am behind as I had more important things to be doing yesterday) during a stupid sprint race then I am done with F1 which is perfectly good with me as I can then cancel my Sky too. Who needs T.V anyway when we have everything in the palm of our hands.
So issues with the tyres in Qatar. Seems that the kerbs are causing delamination or separation between the side wall and the top layer. They might mandate the maximum numbers of laps permitted on a set in-race to 20 Laos, forcing a three-stopper!! Interesting!
I guess it's all just taken a toll on stroll (scuse the rhyme) there's literally no reason for him being so far behind other than him ultimately not being very good, can't blame the car, can't blame team orders/strategies. Even with Aston being massively out developed second half of the season Alonso is still making the most of the car.
Does he really enjoy just languishing at the back of the grid? Hard to imagine he does, maybe he might pack it in, maybe daddy is putting the pressure on, who knows. It's annoying as a spectator seeing a competitive car for a while only being half utilised.
Re. Stroll, Aston have announced their entry into WEC from 2025. They have said that Alonso and Stroll won't be involved, but they could be the out Stroll needs? Next season could be his last in F1, then move to WEC where he could still do very well...
Jokes, i presume because it's not our job to sit through hours of boredom. Most people have families and lives. If I looked back on my life and realised I sat through a half decade of boring races and ignored the gosson, and then saw a good season, I'd be furious with myself.
In reality, I ignore the poor entertainment l and just follow the results, and tune in for good season.
Maybe I'm just a fair weather fan. But I think F1 has to compete for my time. This year, other things take priority because the entertainment is poor.
Stroll has all the body language and attitude of somebody that doesn't want to be there. He's getting absolutely hammered by Alonso pretty much every race weekend, he cost Aston plenty of points by being completely useless
Even he must realise by now that he doesn't have what it takes.
I am not his biggest fan at all, but he really should consider leaving. He is really holding that team back.
Lance Stroll is a broken man.
Don't worry lads, in 20 years you will look back and realise that you experienced something exceptional.
If this is not enough motivation to sit through hours of boredom I can't think of any better reason.
Very true.
Bad Gateway.
It’s the Homer Simpson bbq of websites.
Also, don't forget that boards has been getting worse year on year too...
