The king is dead, long live the king.
With the 2024 season done and dusted and lots of chatter now about drivers and how they will perform for the 2025 season, thought it would be no harm to start a 2025 season thread.
Go!
LeClerc is in a suit beside Whitehall. This isn’t going to be over any time soon.
Stake livery is what I imagine a custom team template would be in the F1 game.
Will we get to vote for our favorite like Eurovision?
The comedy helps
That was Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox's husband.
anyway. lets keep going.
Ariana Bravo , lawrence Barretto, and Lauren Winter on now.
Lime 'n' Blackcurrant flavoured Sauber.
Jesus this is drawn out…
Stake are dragging the arse out of this reveal
Ok that was better, Whitehall fairly funny. 😁
Is there any other Vowels in the room?
Good they have Jack Whitehall for this, so far so good
Yep I’m watching and as I predicted, cringe fest and it’s only started. Some bloke with nail polish singing something or other.
How does that mandatory two stop impact tyre allocation for the weekend?
https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123185031#Comment_123185031BBC have it here:
Who's going to be watching the launch? Sky f1's YouTube is showing it here:
It might just work too. That is about the only exciting bit of the racing in Monaco now that the cars are too big to race proparly together there.
this is incredible.
do you have a link to this?
I suppose it is the best way to change position in Monaco, what is it, about 19 or 20 seconds loss, per pit stop?
Will the casual viewer care about pit stops or know the significance they have on strategy?
The FIA have introduced 'additional mandatory pit stops ' at Monaco to improve the racing......
Gimmick yes ,but will it entice the casual viewer ?, probably
Doohan is effectively gone already which is a shame, no way Alpine paid Williams a bag for Collapinto to have him sitting in the back of the garage, unfortunate situation for the lad, great motivation for him but in midfield machinery he’s chances of impressing are slim at best.
Wasn't there rumours he has a 5 race stint to prove his worth? And his first race has already happened...
It's going to be immensely difficult for Doohan to perform as well as Gasly. His only chance is he begins beating Gasly fair and square, without Gasly underperforming.
Realistically, Doogan has to win the opening three races :PAC:
He sure is. If he has three - four bad races, he is gone. I hope I am wrong.
Mercado Libre have partnered with Alpine who were a sponsor at Williams with Colapinto which is interesting. Doohan will be under serious pressure from the start
You hoping for mainly blue, black or pink?
If it was Crofty hosting it would be a cringe-fest. I am hoping they have some good writers for Jack Whitehall as he can be entertaining with the right content.
8pm tonight (Irish time). Probably going to be a cringe fest. 😁
Livery launches today. Can't wait to see what the Alpine looks like.
What an odd mix of purple
Yup, it’s gone.
I hear for this year that F1 is dropping the fastest lap point. Is this true?
Absolutely. HP and Shell even bigger on the back too. €70 for the pleasure.
